Unfortunately Abrams is great at adding 21st century action to a film, but clueless how to fit a movie into a franchise. With his Star Trek reboot, he destroyed worlds, wrecked characters and snubbed years of canon material. I'd love it if he could take up the challenge and make his contribution fit within the context of the SW universe canon. If he respects the universe like any author seeking to contribute instead of conquer, he would treat existing material as an asset that strengthens the story. As it is though, I fully expect off-the-wall Abrams to deliver nice SFX and "crazy rad" shockers like Kevin J. Anderson might write - trash the Falcon, kill Chewbacca, or completely ignore/bypass/clobber any of the existing post SW:ROJ material. It cheapens the series and makes it essentially no different than a "what-if" fan episode.
