Several interesting tidbits:

The last paragraph pretty much confirms this will be shot exactly as the OT and TPM were, complete with actual film. Like I said in previous posts, I just hope Abrams can do with Lucas on Ep7 what he did with Spielberg on Super 8.

In the comments, someone mentions they were at some event with Phil Tippett and he mentioned he was working on some super secret project that in all likelihood is Ep7.

There's also a particularly interesting story someone heard from "a friend at lucasfilm" that kinda takes the idea of George having limitless control and flips it on its head. Worth reading.

Thanks for that link Fang Zei!!

I almost did a little dance when I read...

"I’ve heard that Abrams is doing tests to try and recapture the exact grain of the film in the original trilogy, to make his movie aesthetically in line with those"

...if true, that is very encouraging that he's obsessing over stuff like that nevermind the big stuff. GO JJ!

However when I read the comments I nearly put my fist through the wall since they are all taking the piss out of the above statement and saying there's no difference between film and digital-video.... arrghhh!
