J. J. Abrams – Confirmed!! … Maybe? – SWR #77

On this episode of the Star Wars Report your hosts Mark, Riley and Bethany returned, along with special guests Teresa of Fangirl Next Door and Jason of The Wampa’s Lair. On this episode, which was recorded live, we discussed the breaking news (or should we say rumors) that J.J. Abrams will indeed be directing Star Wars Episode VII. What was so much fun about this was discussing it with an awesome live audience literally as the news was continuing to update!

We also talked about the new Darth Maul book that was announced today, Maul: Lockdown, by Joe Schreiber of Death Troopers fame.

One topic covered in this episode was the Twitter Star Wars Fansite Seminar, an ongoing Twitter discussion with many different fansites and their representatives on how to best manage a Star Wars fansite. Yours truly also had great fun participating in this!

Though it was hectic, it was great fun to record live, while following the news and interacting with everyone!

May the Force be ever with you!

Rumor alert: J. J. Abrams to direct Episode VII

If this happens, I’d be thrilled.

The Wrap is saying that Kathleen Kennedy “has been courting” the Star Trek director for the job.

What’s the source? “an individual with knowledge of the production,” (oh boy.)

Also,  Ben Affleck (Famed for his incredible role in “Daredevil”) may be involved.

Variety is also reporting that Lucasfilm is “is closing the deal” with Abrams.

Should the Trek and Wars worlds collide? What do you think?
