J.J. Abrams!  It's official!

http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/01/24/jj-abrams-to-direct-star-wars-episode-vii

The director of Star Trek, Mission Impossible, and many other projects has agreed to direct the next star wars movie as well.  Now, the fans of star wars and star trek have never seemed to get along very well, and personally I dislike both franchises, but I love this news.  I actually really liked the last star trek movie and the next one looks amazing.  If Abrams can do that with star trek, a franchise that absolutely hated, what do you think he could with star wars?

What do you guys think?  excited?  mad?  don't care?  

You have a common link between the Star Wars and Star Trek universes now?  I am interesting in the fallout in the fandom world.  Will this bring harmony, enshrine Abrams to god-like status in geekdom, or something more darker? 

It will get real weird of Abrams is also brought in to work on Lord of the Rings stuff, and also brings back the Matrix.
