I like the Abrams pick, and even though I grew up watching Star Trek (and was a fan), I still loved his treatment of the reboot. I recently watched several of the movies, including the 2009 reboot, and the reboot remains one of the more entertaining entries.
I remain cautiously optimistic about the new Star Wars trilogy, and I'm beyond thrilled that I'm going to get the chance to take my kids to see Star Wars movies in the theaters. Whether they're good or bad, there's just something exciting about that.
