Sure I liked Wrath of Kahn. And I even liked the Star Trek reboot.
My comment was only in regard to whether Abrams could do a credible Star Wars film that doesnt wreak of something completely different than what we've come to love about the original trilogy.
Like I say, I do like his ST reboot but I know many Trek fans did not appreciate the direction he took it and most importantly that it did not have Star Trek themes if that makes any sense. Besides, he promised nothing other than a Star Wars movie in Star Trek clothing. He delivered.
I dont necessarily think this would be a concern with Star Wars...not that the unthinkable is impossible of course.
