Remember when Lucas said "if fans want the original (original) trilogy, then they can find it on VHS".
For me that was the F.U. to the fans moment which made my dislike for Lucas into hate for Lucas.
what JJ Abrams says here is a F.U. to the fans moment, but it is the underhanded punk-a@@ way he does it, that is making me NOW SAY: JJ ABRAMS IS WORST THEN LUCAS.
JJ Abrams saying: I think I benefited because I came into this movie as someone who appreciated "Star Trek" but wasn’t an insane fanatic about it.

You know, I’ve recently been pulling Star Wars collectables out of the closet and placing them on ebay. With no regrets. I guess for me, the importance and fond memories of the Star Wars universe were severely impacted by the last three Lucas attempts.
I still find it strange that some people are open to letting someone basically come through the Star Trek door and make changes to TOS just for a romp in a theater. There are plenty of other movies capable of delivering action and new interpretations on space travel and phaser design—we didn’t need to attempt to re-brand Kirk’s era to this degree.
I assume it’s my weakness that I see what could have been. I see that young men have come in and changed things that didn’t need to be changed, while at the same time exclaiming that what they changed wasn’t important anyway.
Still, I carry some hope the timeline will be restored or time cops will remove all new technology. If I don’t hear that this has happened, I will be just fine staying and perhaps contemplate selling things from my Star Trek collection.
To me, seeing the Enterprise like this is like watching R2D2 suddenly use booster rockets to fly around—simply because it looks cool. Seeing Scotty get excited about Pike’s ship is like watching Jar Jar jump up and down waving his hands. Looking at the generic communicator and phaser wondering where the classic gear is, is like wondering why the Millennium Falcon is MIA for three prequels.
What am I worried about? That feeling.
