Eight Reasons Why JJ Abrams Is A Great Choice To Direct Star Wars | 2. There Will Be Surprises…
2. There Will Be Surprises…

Abrams’ determination to keep a tight lid on spoilers will fit right in with Lucasfilm’s secretive nature. As he’s said on the subject before, “The real damage isn't so much that the secret gets out; it's that the experience is destroyed. The illusion is diminished – which may not matter to some. But then what's the point of actually seeing that movie or episode? How does knowing the twist before you walk into the theater – or what Lost’s island is really about before you watch the finale – make for a richer viewing experience?” So while we know someone will be mining for every last nugget of news, there’s reason to hope that Abrams will be able to keep some things back to surprise us once the iconic words are finished crawling across the screen. Maybe a paternity test will prove that Darth Vader wasn’t Luke’s father after all!

I would love to see John Noble in almost anything, I already miss Walter :( I'd just like to point out on page 2 that umm, we STILL don't know what LOST's island was 'all about' - the finale revealed bugger all - the biggest anti-climax in the history of television More
