It is therefore confirmed, JJ Abrams will direct the new episode of the Star Wars saga which is scheduled for release in 2015. Disney has chosen the director / producer / screenwriter in fashion.
Good or bad news ? Everyone will have their opinion on this.
As far as I'm concerned, it's pretty good news, I'm not one of those who denigrate JJ Abrams even though I had good reasons to blame him for wasting my time with the series Lost.
The gentleman still has some great achievements to his credit: Mission Impossible III, Star Trek or Super 8 are in my eyes good entertainment films.
But it will take more than meticulously crafted special effects, or lens flares galore, one of JJ Abrams' "specialties", for demanding Star Wars fans to integrate this director into their universe.
Disney will quickly have to understand that we can indeed treat Star Wars as a vulgar franchise that must be wrung out to the last dollar, but that there are all the same some rules to follow so as not to alienate them. customers fans
