this may be the only time I got a prediction right ever

There was some Episode VII poll awhile back, and I voted for J. J. Abrams (entirely on the strength of Star Trek, to be honest, which felt a lot more like SW than ST). I didn't actually think it would happen, but ... it has!

For the link-averse, Lawrence Kasdan of ESB and Simon Kinberg as consultants (yesssss), Kathleen Kennedy is executive producer (duh), and George Lucas is creative consultant (cool). Okay, this is pretty much my personal wish list turned into reality. I really hope it's awesome.
