I just hope Abrams doesn't make the same mistake George Lucas made on the prequels. Star Wars isn't shiny or sparkly. It is gritty and worn.

I just haven't been impressed with his directing style thus far, but he understands story very well, so that's one thing over Lucas. I'm already prepared to not like these, I did the same with Star Trek, and was very surprised. The hype isn't near as high as it was in the mid 90's. Of course, back then, the worst Star Wars film was ROTJ, and it's not bad in it's own right.

And is it too much to ask for a Lens flare limit?
