I'm not familiar with Johnson or his work, yet. Do you think he'll continue using practical effects and real locations or rely more on CGI and green screens? Granted, we don't know how much CGI is in Episode VII and no doubt there will be, but the Abrams team has put a lot of emphasis on using more practical effects and real locations. Also wonder if the next two films will be shot digitally?

Definitely give Looper a watch. It would be my hope and expectation that Rian will continue the emphasis of using real locations, practical effects, and film. That's often my biggest concern with having a different director, the look and feel of the film could possibly be different (for better or for worse), but I trust it is in good hands.
