I'm only posting this so that I can respectfully submit that this article on Abrams helming the next Star Wars is a steaming pile.

I mean, Abrams is going to ruin Star Wars because his Star Trek movies are already too much like the sci-fi fun of Star Wars? Really?
I'm a little worried about Star Trek losing out, just based on a lack of Abrams time, but I'm not seeing any downside for Star Wars. Besides, the article totally overlooks any of the characters, which are driving forces behind both these franchises.
