Today in Star Wars rumors: J.J. Abrams is directing Star Wars after all

After a months-long confusing opening crawl full of obfuscation and misdirection, J.J. Abrams has been supposedly confirmed to direct Star Wars Into Dubiousness, despite his own oft-repeated denials that he would not be doing that very thing. Nevertheless, both Deadline and The Wrap seem to think it’s a done deal, with Deadline actually reporting, “It’s a done deal” and The Wrap echoing that sentiment, both quoting unnamed insider “sources” and “individuals with knowledge of the talks,” thus continuing down the established dark path of all Star Wars-related rumors to date.
