Hey, it's me. said:

Nah he's definitely taking more of a backseat on these ones. Sure the main people will consult with him on ideas, as JJ has alluded to, but they will be given free rule to create. Offcourse Lucas will be interested as on what's going on. But as to him disagreeing to this and that, looking other Abrahms shoulder every 5 mins and generally being a pain in the arse. I think you'll find that is very wide of the mark as to what his involvement will be this time.

Sure but the lessons of KOTCS as they point to episode VII are worrying:

- same producing team Kathleen Kennedy / Frank Marshall (Possibly Lucas too as exec Producer/consultant).

- same tired actor = harrison ford.

- JJ Abrams is often called the new Speilberg.

- same ILM people that did the god awful CGI effects in KOTCS.

- same lack-lustre scoring by John Williams.

- possibly based on George Lucas story treatment.

The definition of insanity is repeating the same sh*t and expecting a different result.
