It was announced last week that Colin Trevorrow will no longer direct Star Wars: Episode IX. In finding his replacement, Lucasfilm turned to a familiar face... J. J. Abrams:
J.J. Abrams, who launched a new era of Star Wars with The Force Awakens in 2015, is returning to complete the sequel trilogy as writer and director of Star Wars: Episode IX. Abrams will co-write the film with Chris Terrio. Star Wars: Episode IX will be produced by Kathleen Kennedy, Michelle Rejwan, Abrams, Bad Robot, and Lucasfilm.
The release date has been moved from May 24, 2019 to December 20, 2019.

Not only the movies, all the stories, all the librettos, all the "suprise" political outcomes: when you have been alive for 2400 years, what you say is more true than you know. This is why fiction and entertainment have their limits. On the other hand, science is eternally fascinating. The progress of human knowledge of the universe is continually surprising, and that is what makes life worth living.
But the question at hand, JJ at the helm of Star Wars? Again? I think it was Stephen King who once wrote, "hell is all about repetition."

This is why I have always thought that both computer science and behaviorist psychology, like JJ Abrahms, were big mistakes.

And sometimes the predictions turn out to be wrong. That is when it gets interesting.

No, we only had sand. I refer you to the classic work on the topic: the Ψαμμίτης [blogspot.com] by Archimedes. Great read. He mentions me!

You and The Orange One sound so much alike. Are you brothers from different mothers?
