JJ Abrams Will Direct "Star Wars-Episode VII"

So "Star Trek" director JJ Abrams is the lucky son of a bitch who's going to be taking the helm of the new "Star Wars" film, possibly the new trilogy. I am literally was jumping and still am after hearing this. THIS IS FUCKING EPIC TO HEAR!!! He said that he wasn't interested in directing the upcoming 2015 sequel, but looks like he was a little liar. According to The Wrap, Steven Spielberg pushed and pushed producer Kathleen Kennedy to sign Abrams on, she listened to the old man and done the right thing.
So Abrams has not only got the rebooted "Star Trek" franchise on his CV, but now a possible "Star Wars" trilogy too.................LUCKY BASTARD!!!

UPDATE: Kathleen Kennedy and Disney have officially confirmed that JJ Abrams WILL indeed be directing "Star Wars-Episode VII" and he seems very pleased about given the chance to do so,

"To be a part of the next chapter of the Star Wars saga, to collaborate withKathleen Kennedy and this remarkable group of people, is an absolute honor. I may be even more grateful to George Lucas now than I was as a kid."

And this is what Kennedy and George Lucas said about Abrams directing it,

Kathleen Kennedy:

"It's very exciting to have J.J. aboard leading the charge as we set off to make a new Star Wars movie. J.J. is the perfect director to helm this. Beyond having such great instincts as a filmmaker, he has an intuitive understanding of this franchise. He understands the essence of the Star Wars experience, and will bring that talent to create an unforgettable motion picture."

George Lucas: 

"I've consistently been impressed with J.J. as a filmmaker and storyteller. He's an ideal choice to direct the new Star Wars film and the legacy couldn't be in better hands."
