But Abrams track record is incomplete.
It's not like Epi VII has been written and directed by James Cameron or Christopher Nolan.
It's Abrams. MI-3 was just "okay". LOST ultimately sucked. Super 8 was a mess.
I never saw Alias or Gilmore Girls.

My comment wasn't referring to JJ, but since you mentioned it, Abrams and Kasdan are far more qualified to get the series back on track than an unchallenged Lucas.
The SD Comic con trailer shows that JJ & Co know the fans are looking to get back to the roots of Star Wars. Character driven stories that are gritty and more like an old style Western rather than a polished piece of shit that centers around the dispute over trade routes.
Lucas lost his way with the prequels and ruined the lore of the force by introducing midichlorians, forcing in Yoda light saber battles, (further destroying the concept of the force), and cramming a shit ton of CGI where it wasn't needed. He ruined Obi Wan's Character, etc, etc...
The bottom line is the highlight of the prequel series was Jar Jar stepping in the Bantha poo poo.
At this point, can you justify Lucas having anymore involvement from a creative standpoint?
