It was announced earlier this week that J.J. Abrams would be directing Star Wars Episode VII some day in the near future. If you’re not familiar with the name, Abrams is also the guy behind the recent Star Trek reboot. So one guy is going to be in charge of both the Star Wars and Star Trek franchises.

Who thought that would be a good idea? And how did Abrams get to be so lucky?

That being said, I am totally cool with Abrams directing the next Star Wars. I loved his first Star Trek, I’m bound to like the second one, and I’ve enjoyed the rest of his work, like Cloverfield. So for the geek record, which I know exists, I am totally in favor of seeing what Abrams can do with Star Wars.

Especially if it’s anything like this fan trailer posted online by GcPrOductions.

Now that was impressive.
