Agreed!
However, problem with that article (or maybe my reading comprehension)... Does this make any sense?
"multiple sources are confirming Star Trek director — and lifelong Star Wars fan — J.J. Abrams will in fact be directing Star Wars: Episode VII."
Then: "as Abrams recently went on record saying he was asked to direct the film but respectfully declined so that he could concentrate on the Star Trek film series he rebooted."
"Although “it’s a done deal with J.J.,” a source tells Deadline" and "Deadline reports Abrams’ relationship with Lucas’ successor at Lucasfilm, Kathleen Kennedy, helped seal the deal."
Seems to be contradicting statements there...
