To me, anything Star Wars related...has to come from his mind

Considering I'm the polar opposite - I only follow\own\care about Star Wars that is non-Lucas - this has the potential to be positive.

Abrams got Star Trek back to it's roots, so maybe Disney can give the world something Star Wars other than the twirling colors, small galaxy, children's films that Lucas turned them into in 1983.

Abrams didn't get Star Trek back to any roots I'm aware of. He made up his own version of Star Trek that bears only a superficial resemblance to the actual stuff. If you meant to use him as an example to show that it's going to be "more like Star Wars," I think you failed.
