Entirely unconfirmed rumour, he has previously ruled it out so I definitely wouldn't count on it


yes, but the wrap is supposedly very reliable at this sort of stuff.  Definitely happier with Abrams directing then Affleck, not that Affleck is neccessarily a bad director.  I think he is a much better director than actor, but I don't think he has the nerd cred to do something like star wars.  

Abrams would be the absolute perfect fit for this position, in my opinion.  

So the thing is, his latest Star Trek was probably my 2nd favourite film possibly ever... (I had never watched any Star Trek before) I also really liked Super 8 and would definitely rank Fringe and Lost in my top 10 TV shows ever, so you could definitely call me a JJ Abrams fan {I also like Alcatraz, will watch Person of Interest as well as Revolution as soon as the latter comes to the UK!}

I also really like Star Wars, so as you can see, this is not something I want taken away from me, so I am not going to get excited until it is 100% confirmed.

It is like a Square Enix countdown, they could be announcing something amazing, but it will probably be a crappy social iOS game

lol, I guess that is a good way to look at it.  I'm sure there will probably be a press release tomorrow or the early next week when they confirm who it is.  Looks like Abrams though...
