Who does JJ Abrams think he is? Why doesn't he manage the Red Sox and the Yankees at the same time while he's at it?

That chubby guy who was the telepathic cop in Heroes, JJ Abrams' ex-roommate, which Jedi Master is he gonna play in @starwars?

Does it seem like I'm upset JJ Abrams is directing @starwars? 100% the opposite. He's a great choice and he loved Star Wars his whole life.

But still, who the hell does JJ Abrams think he is? @startrek and @starwars? That's way too much power over the nerds for one man to wield.
