I'm excited, I liked what J.J. did with the Star Trek franchise, and can't wait for Star Trek Into Darkness this spring. I'm curious to see where he'll take the Star Wars franchise as well. He's not my favorite director out there, but he's made a lot of things that I have enjoyed, and he proved to me he can take a long standing franchise with a die hard fan base, like Star Trek, and make it into something enjoyable. Different, but enjoyable none the less. I don't want someone to emulate Geroge Lucas because he is terrible and the prequels were awful... and on top of that he had to go back and mess with his originals that were fine the way they were! I don't think the SW franchise could get any worse than what's it's creator already did to it. I'm excited.
