I started laughing as soon as I read the headline. I just knew people would be here moaning about it.

I'm laughing, not moaning. #difference Meesa already knew this was gonna happen after they fired Treverrow. Thems have already gone through half of da up-and-coming directors in Hollywood. And let's be honest, they not gonna hire somebody like Del Torro. Why? Cuz #1 he's not gonna be a rehash spewing yes man. And #2 he has too much of a successful resume to pull that "creative differences/too difficult to work with" bull crap! Thems were just looking for da next JJ Abrams all along! Then thems found out these young bucks actually have a spine. They're not Abrams clones! So back to the original Abrams. Which is very ironic considering theirs nothing original about anything he's ever written.

Trilogy ends with a party on the porgs' home planet after blowing up a half-built Death Star and Rey barbecuing Kylo's body CONFIRMED. Yup. And it starts with all of da good guys meeting up on Jakku to free Poe whose frozen in carbonite and being held prisoner by Unkar Plutt. Either Rose or Finn will have a slave bikini scene. C3PO will be an interpreter droid that stands next to Plutt the entire time but is never used because Rey understands all alien languages. Rey will be dropped into a ranchor pit that she will kill in a more spectacular fashion than Luke did. They'll all be taken out to da middle of da Jakku desert where they're threatened to be dropped into the mouth of a Rathtar with his butt stuck in da sand. All da Rey and rehash worshippers will go crazy and start having emotional fallouts like some people used to do at Beatles and Michael Jackson concerts!

I would've preferred either Rian Johnson (though I suppose we'll need to see how TLJ turns out) or someone new. Oh well. I guess I shouldn't be surprised that they're playing it safe.

the shroud of the dark side has fallen. Begun the end of the Star Wars has.

I am positively mourning this franchise. Only light I see is that Abrams may just be directing...and NOT writing. He is the worst HACK² with that.

Captain Tarpals just had a Force vision. It's da scene near da end of ROTS: episode 3. It's when Vader's suit is finally finished. But instead of the helmet sealing and being raised upright, there is no mask on. And I see JJ Abrams face. And Sidious is standing there with Kathleen Kennedy's face. Then the Abrams faced Vader asks "Master, where is Star Wars?" And then the Kennedy faced Sidious says "It seems in all your rehash, you killed it." "No I couldn't have! I even gave it a MarySue! It was alive!" "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!" (Fade to black with Kennedy cackling)

Wait a minute!... JJ Abrams is directing and writing. And Abrams and Kathleen Kennedy are co-producing?!? This is going to suck bantha turds!! Time to buy a DVD set of the OT and close the book on SW ever being real SW anymore! I'll probably go with the nieces and nephews if they ask me when it comes out. But it'll just be a popcorn munching Disney parody that I'll take a nap to in the middle of the movie. At least now I know I never have to get hyped to SW anymore or have any expectations. If I don't go to accompany someone else I'll just wait for to come on the Disney channel years later and watch for laughs. There's no reason to take the story and it's characters serious anymore. Lol

It's kinda like they just said screw all the people who don't like the rehash and the Disney warrior princess theme. We'll just take less at the box office but still hope to make a killing. Let's just put all our eggs in this basket and shove all of our chips to the center of the table.

I don't like the move but ironically I'm glad they're doing it now. Really production demands kind of force them to. But this way it puts an end to all the smoke and mirrors strategy that they've used from the beginning. The efforts of always trying to advertise their SW movies as if it has everything every type of SW fan would want.
The trailers packaged with misleading characterization and disguising some of the tone of film don't matter anymore. Neither do all the veneer leadership choices that might create false impressions about how the movie might be styled (based on writer/director choices).
With Abrams and Kathleen Kennedy in the respective positions that they're in on episode 9 it's crystal clear what brand of SW we're going to get for the rest of the trilogy. And perhaps beyond. It's the TFA formula through and through. And it doesn't matter how many trailers they release or PR moves they make that look otherwise, we now know it's still going to be TFA in essence. And we can make a decision to see it or not based solely off of that TFA branding.

Why does he have to write the script too??? Can't they hire a separate screenwriter? Maybe one that can actually write something new and original.

Cuz they made 2 billion off of Abrams junk food - leftovers writing da first time. Them apparently got tired of pretending that they were going to make something original by hiring all of these other people who apparently didn't want to do it. They never cared about originality in da first place. That's why TFA was da way it was. And that's why they're going to hims as a writer. "No soup for you!" "You get Abrams junk food leftovers cuz we sold out all of it on you the last time!" Meesa thinks they're gonna find out though. They really did make it to 2 billion cuz they fooled some people. Thems not gonna make 2 billion off of Abrams writing. People can see it comin' this time. Da only question left is... did Rian Johnson really make something original because for a time they were tryin OR did Rian Johnson just pretend and make a puppeted story of rehash with Kennedy and Abrams pulling da strings?

This is silly. Nothing is original. All you need to know is ancient story telling to understand this. i.e. The Matrix is often considered "original" by modern people but in reality it's a huge rip off of ancient Greek philosopher Plato's work, Allegory of the Cave. All stories stem for a set of ancient story archetypes (about a handful), while all modern characters stem from a set of ancient character archetypes (about 12). Star Wars might seem "original" but it never was - not even when George Lucas was in charge. It isn't just Star Wars either. We can use any movie, novel or TV show and the archetypes are present in the works. All modern writers have stolen from the past. Even the movie Pulp Fiction that people like to claim is so "original", isn't nearly as unique as people think - not in terms of story or characters. They don't often get called out on it (stealing from the past) because people are so ignorant. When people rant on the internet about how Hollywood has no good ideas, I just shake my head because no one has good ideas. It's all taken from the past and repackaged for an audience that has no clue of history.
