15. I wonder if he'll iPodify the Millennium Falcon like he did the Enterprise.

Maybe he can replace C-3P0's voice with Siri while he's at it. And speaking of C3PO, Abrams has to be loving the thought of putting C3PO on screen...can you IMAGINE how many lens flares he'll be able to render off that shiny metal ass? It'll look like the fuggin sunrise every time C3PO walks into the room.

Abrams has also had this longstanding thing with killing off main characters and disrupting storylines to keep things "edgy" (it was a recurring plot point on LOST, and he one upped himself by wiping out an entire core species on ST). I bet the Wookie goes the redshirt route within the first 10 minutes of the movie! (I could have gone with Endor, but I doubt that many fans would miss the Ewoks)
