J.J. Abrams to Direct Star Wars: Episode VII

I know this news is a day old, but I was too busy yesterday.  Anyway, J.J. Abrams is officially going to direct Star Wars: Episode VII.  This was a surprise due to the fact that just about a month ago, Abrams specifically states that he was not going to shoot the film.
Looking forward to some time travelling island mystery in the newest Star Wars movie  :)
