Kathleen Kennedy is a veteran film producer and she is now the president of Lucasfilm. I think the brand is still in very good, (and old (she was born in 53)) and capable hands. And JJ Abrams is sharp as a whip. I like his library of work and only wished M. Night Shyamalan could have continued creating quality films as well.
The last time I saw Harrison Ford in an interview, about 3 weeks ago, he wouldn't give up any information about it. I didn't know if he was in it or directing. He just said "Wait and see". Did Lucas Films sell the copyright to another studio? I don't think they're the producers this time.
