I don't get the hate for Abrams. So far he's proven to be a fantastic director. The hate toward his Star Trek films are mostly do to them being not exactly true to the spirit of Star Trek (and lens flares, but I seriously doubt he'll do that for SW), but that's because he isn't a Star Trek fan, whereas he is a HUGE Star Wars fan. And really, if you look at the plot of Star Trek (2009) and the overall styling of the film, its basically Star Wars set in the Star Trek universe, with Kirk playing the same sort of role as Luke, Pike as Ben, Spock as Han, Uhura as Leia, and Scotty and the little alien dude (don't know his name, sorry) as C-3PO and R2D2. He knows what he's doing guys. Plus Kasdan is writing, so we have an amazing writer, a really good director, most of the principle cast assumed to return, and John Williams returning to do the music. I think it's safe to say our beloved franchise is in good hands.
