I'm not stating that J.J. Abrams will be released from his Star Wars duties, but I have heard rumblings that Disney and Lucasfilms are unhappy with his recent public statements.
1. Publicly stating that he's "pissed" that the filming of Episode VII will be in London and not Los Angeles.
2. Stating that he will "honor but not revere" the prior films, especially the original trilogy.
3. The poor box office results of Star Trek are also worrisome to some at the Mouse House.
It will be interesting to see how this develops, especially since they're on a tight schedule and according to J.J., they have not even agreed how to move forward with VII.
