Yeah..it is rather weird; but it brings me back to the Avengers thing. When I first heard Chris Evans as Captain America. I rolled my eyes. I already hated his portrayal of Johnny Storm in the meh Fantastic Four films and various other roles he was a part of. Except for his bit role in Scott Pilgrim. But..when I finally did see the Captain American movie, he completely won me over by making one of the most outdated and bland super heroes in my opinion into an actual likeable hero. Gave him personality and not making him appear like a douche. That same energy and good character went into Avengers. So I can't judge until I watch it for myself.

Maybe towards the end of this year or early 2014 when they start shooting perhaps. I know the lady that now runs Lucasfilm is saying that things are going swell with the development thus far. Yeah it is getting weird with the constant silence. Maybe a ton of pre-production work is being finalized and setting up various parts.

While I enjoyed his take with Star Trek 1&2, they did lack something. J.J. can't write good developed female characters and that's a problem especially when the Star Wars Universe has so many so many great female legends. Not just Jedi. He also has a problem with certain aspects of story structure. Everything else he does I'm completely ok with. So I see where you are coming from. They need a good producer first and foremost. I have a feeling Lucas is still going to help out with a ton of the production and writing. Visual ideas here & there; but the rest is on Disney, Abrams, new team, and returning players. Seems like it from what they are saying in the press. I'm going go into this film with an open mind. Hell this might be an amazing film, I just think that 2015 especially when they haven't even start shooting and with what goes into every Star Wars film or production up to now..and time..leaves me with some worry.

Smoke my friend. Good work! Love it.

Yeah man. It kicks ass and improves the quality of the song so much.
