It's interesting to see that the originaltrilogy.com people are by and large the ones with the most negative expectations about Episode VII, compared to the forums and comments sections I've been looking at. Given the reactions to the rumors here, I wonder if there's any possible storyline that could be suggested that wouldn't get a bad reaction.

I know there are a lot of people in general who really dislike JJ Abrams, but I'm pretty neutral in that regard. I thought that the Star Trek films had good and bad points, but were entertaining films overall. I do think that he's a competent filmmaker, which may be too high praise, depending on your opinion of him.
