Wait? Has it not already been ruined for us fans of the OT? I wasn't aware there were any of us left who still did trust anything coming out of Lucasfilm.

The only thing about Disney purchasing Star Wars that excites or interests me is the potential of the original trilogy eventually making its way to Blu-ray. Beyond that, I really have a hard time caring.

I'm not sure if there is a director out there that might have been able to get me excited about this (Duncan Jones, maybe?), but J. J. Abrams isn't it.

Well with Disney acquiring Lucasfilm and George out of the picture, there was a fleeting moment of hope that this might be a good thing. Now like you I'm really more looking forward to a bluray release of the original trilogy instead.

As far as directors go, I think they need to find somebody who is not really a sci-fi director. A director thats more character driven instead of action driven. A director who knows how to balance the story with FX.
