The 64,000 dollar question, will Lucas be able to stay away from SW when they shooting Episode 7?
Well if one is around when the film is being shot he can only influence the execution details. Creatively most important part is actually pre-production where the main ideas are formed, casting is done, visual concepts are made and script is written.
I highly doubt he resisted the temptation to completely stay away from the pre-production.
