The news that J.J. Abrams would be the man to direct ‘Star Wars: Episode 7‘ and lead the ‘Star Wars‘ franchise into a new era was met with mixed response today. While there were many who loved the news, there were others quick to shout “lens flare!” and rain on the ‘Star Wars’ parade. J.J.

Lucasfilm Will Trust His Vision

He Has Experience With a Massive Sci-Fi Franchise.
'Safety Not Guaranteed' was a great movie and Colin Trevorrow is going to go on to make some great films but 'Star Wars: Episode 7' as his second film seemed like a big leap. And we love Ben Affleck as a director but 'Star Wars' seems way out of his wheelhouse. Abrams created 'LOST,' directed a 'Mission: Impossible' film and rebooted the 'Star Trek' franchise, which gives him the perfect amount of experience to handle 'Star Wars: Episode 7.'

He Writes Great Female Characters.
Let's face it - the 'Star Wars' franchise is in desperate need of a strong female character. Minus Princess Leia, 'Star Wars' has been lacking in this department over the years.

This Could Mean a Starring Role for Simon Pegg.
