    I'm okay with this just because of how great TFA was. Definitely not my first (or second or third) choice, though.

    JJ Abrams directing again and now the film is also delayed by a few months.

    Thanks for the mess, Trevorrow

    Considering there's a track record now of them canning directors and doing rewrites and reshoots, a little unfair to put it all on Trevorrow.

    Boring. Give it to a woman or someone who hasn't made their mark on the franchise yet.

    For some reason this sounds sarcastic, but this'd be nice. Star Wars is a good way to introduce the biggest possible audience with things they aren't used to seeing.
