‘Star Trek’ director J.J. Abrams will call the shots on the new ‘Star Wars’ movie

Can someone do both "Star Trek" and "Star Wars"? Apparently so.
It looks like J.J. Abramswill be the director of "Star Wars: Episode VII," the first "Star Wars" film under the Disney banner and the first installment of a planned new trilogy,according to reports published Thursday. Neither Lucasfilm nor Abrams has officially confirmed yet, but an official announcement is said to be forthcoming.
This is surprising news, as not only is Abrams the captain of a certain other sci-fi action adventure tentpole series, he also said back in November that he didn't want the "Star Wars" job.
