“The next installment, which Abrams would direct, is targeting a 2015 release, with Disney seeing it as a launching point for a new trilogy.”[THR]
Heard the big news? J.J. Abrams has landed the biggest directing gig since The Ten Commandments – the nezt Star Wars. Is this a good idea? A bad idea? The greatest idea ever idea-ed?
Here’s what some prominent tweeters thought, some of which is surprising and all of which is hilarious:
Darth Vader @DepressedDarth – “JJ Abrams will direct the new Star Wars movie. If he doesn’t want to be force choked, he better not screw it up.”
BRIAN MICHAEL BENDIS ✔ @BRIANMBENDIS – “I’m a huge JJ Abrams fan. I’m bummed out we’re not going to get any more Star Trek movies from him. the new one must be amazing”
Young Il Kim @theyoungilkim – “Comic-Con announced today it will be moving from San Diego to JJ Abrams’s backyard.”
Paul Scheer ✔ @paulscheer – “As long as JJ Abrams avoids Severe Blunt Force Trauma to the Head, these new Star Wars Films will be WAY better than the last ones.”
Elijah Wood ✔ @woodelijah – “The Flare is strong with this one.” (Is this a dig? Or a voice of support? I couldn’t tell).

CAN'T THEY JUST FUCKING LEAVE THE ORIGINAL TRILOGY ALONE. FUCK.
Yet another way people will get mixed up over Star Wars and Star Trek.
