That's the best way to be!

Fine with me. I've liked a fair chunk of his other work.

Yup, Im with you - its great news! For all intents & purposes Star Trek was a Star Wars movie & a great one at that!

Don't believe anything you read on IMDB.com ... there's a reason it's called "I'M-DumB.com". Everything there is posted by the Internet users and never officially checked. That means it's full of nonsense, lies, garbage, rumours and plain stupidity.
Unfortunately, after checking elsewhere, this appears to be true. This is from ComingSoon.net ...
BREAKING: J.J. Abrams to Direct Star Wars: Episode VII!
Star Trek Into Darkness helmer J.J. Abrams will direct Star Wars: Episode VII for Walt Disney Pictures and Lucasfilm, reports TheWrap. The site says that Ben Affleck was also in contention.
Back in November, Abrams commented on the possibility of him directing and it sounded like it wasn't happening:
"Look, Star Wars is one of my favorite movies of all time. I frankly feel that – I almost feel that, in a weird way, the opportunity for whomever it is to direct that movie, it comes with the burden of being that kind of iconic movie and series. I was never a big Star Trek fan growing up, so for me, working on Star Trek didn’t have any of that, you know, almost fatal sacrilege, and so, I am looking forward more then anyone to the next iterations of Star Wars, but I believe I will be going as a paying moviegoer!"
TheWrap adds that Lucasfilm's Kathleen Kennedy has been courting Abrams for the director's chair for a while.
Star Wars: Episode VII is scheduled to hit theaters in 2015. Michael Arndt is writing the script. Disney and Lucasfilm are planning a new trilogy with a new movie coming every other year.
The only response to that is:
NNNNnnnnnnooooooo.....!!!!
Looks like the worthless fool will flush another "Star" franchise down the toilet ... the only saving grace might be that Abrams doesn't actually do anything more than rubber-stamp his name on other people's work.

Yeah, I mean - I was still a kid when Episode I came out (though I'd been a Star Wars fan for a few years), and the energy of that fight scene just blew my mind. Incredible piece of scoring too.

I'm with you guys. As far as I'm concerned, this isn't entirely bad news. I'll wait and let the film speak for itself. Bring on 2015!

I'm cool with this too, so long as he doesn't mess around with Time Travel and wants to reboot Star Wars completely the way they did with Trek.

Sure do! Darth Maul was a genuinly scary sith, the fights looked convincing, you weren't sure how it was going to turn out, the two jedi looked like they had fought side by side before etc etc. I would rate it over the AOTC fights and most of ROTS fights..... I had a bit of trouble with the whole lava thing in ep3
