CinemaBlend.com features an article on their websites which discusses an interview with J.J. Abrams. Katey Rich, from CinemaBlend.com, writes, "...While responding with simply a smile when asked about details for Star Wars Episode VII, and insisting over and over again that there's no way he can share details about a movie that doesn't exist yet, he did talk about the relief of having George Lucas around as a consultant-- especially after making Star Trek years after creator Gene Roddenberry's death..." This could be a really incredible Episode 7 if J.J. Abrams is at the helms. It would be weird to not have George Lucas direct the movie, but I want a new Star Wars film; it's been too long since the last installment. J. J. Abrams states in the interview:
I meant if I viewed this from a fan’s point of view—and no one’s a bigger Star Wars fan than I am—or from a legacy standpoint, it would scare the hell out of me. But instead of trying to climb this mountain in one giant leap, I’m just enjoying the opportunity and looking to the people I’m working with. I’ve known Kathy for years. I’ve worked with the screenwriter, Michael Arndt, for a long time. I’ve known George for a number of years and he’s now a friend. Even if this wasn’t Star Wars, I’d be enormously fortunate to work with them.I'm excited to read follow up details in the future about Star Wars: Episode VII.
