Hopefully, the new cast he's hired has been through puberty, unlike Star Trek.

I wish I knew you in person so I could bet good money with you that it won't even be on the level of Episode III.
Oh and people could say what they want about the prequels but at least it was ALL George Lucas' independent vision. He didn't have to answer to anybody and got his actual vision as he wanted it on the screen. Like a true filmmaker. Jar Jar Abrams on the other hand won't have that luxury. He's just a hired hand paid to deliver the vision that Disney and franchise producers have for the series.
J.J. Abrams has spoken from the set of Star Wars: Episode VII in a video that also gives us a first glimpse at the film's special effects.
Yep, we've seen our first creature on a Star Wars: Episode VII set, which is just a bit exciting. He's even carrying several other new aliens on his back. So, six new aliens in total. AMAZING.
In a video in aid of UNICEF’s Innovation Labs and Programs, Abrams gives Star Wars fans both a first glimpse at the Episode VII shoot and a chance to appear in the new film.
But, most excitingly, we get a glimpse at our first Episode VII alien.
It's an impressive creation, the movement is so realistic it's hard to tell if it's a puppet or CGI or, most probably, a mixture.
He looks like a cross between Yoda and a Tauntaun with a bit of Labyrinth thrown in for good measure, and we wonder if those are his kids he's carrying round, or just pets. Either way, WE LOVE HIM and we hope he appears in the movie.

I don't care about the expanded universe being axed. First rule of any creative endeavor do not limit the scope of the vision that the creators could have. My concern is more with the director being a borderline hack who has proven more than once that he can't really stick the landing after taking the aircraft into the air. We'll see what happens.

While producing some others.. I don't see what's wrong with any of those movies he directed and enjoyed them all. I understand everyone not feeling the same way but I didn't leave watching any of the movies he directed feeling like it missed something. Even the other movies he's associated with as producer or writer that I've seen have been good, maybe not always ground breaking but still entertaining.
I know how something like LOST could have people feel some sort of way about it but for the most part the show was great. Until the end when it was meh. But that's most shows when it reaches over 120 episodes.

I recall streaming that because I didn't have really any expectations.. and I wasn't disappointed.
Those who were upset that the first big wave of Star Wars Episode VII casting did not include more women can breathe a bit easier. Lupita Nyong’o and Gwendoline Christie have just been added to the cast.
Here’s the official release:
Lupita Nyong’o joins the recently announced cast of Star Wars: Episode VII. This year, her breakthrough performance in 12 Years a Slave earned her an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress.
Gwendoline Christie, currently starring in the hit television series Game of Thrones as Brienne of Tarth, has also been cast in the production. She can next be seen in The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2.
“I could not be more excited about Lupita and Gwendoline joining the cast of Episode VII,” says Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy. “It’s thrilling to see this extraordinarily talented ensemble taking shape.”
Actors John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, Andy Serkis, Domhnall Gleeson, and Max von Sydow will join the original stars of the Saga Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Mark Hamill, Anthony Daniels, Peter Mayhew, and Kenny Baker in the new film.
Star Wars: Episode VII is being directed by J.J. Abrams from a screenplay by Lawrence Kasdan and Abrams. Kathleen Kennedy, Abrams, and Bryan Burk are producing, and John Williams returns as the composer. The movie opens worldwide on December 18, 2015.
