Edwards treated Godzilla with respect so I bet he'll do the same with Star Wars. Hopefully his Star Wars is going to end up less restrained and generic than his Godzilla (which I liked overall, despite its shortcomings). I could do with more flavour and less uninteresting characters who somehow dominate the movie despite being effectively cut out of them, for one thing ;)
On the other hand, Whitta's track record is downright horrifying to me.
