Guess Again? J.J. Abrams Now Suggests 'Star Wars' May Force Him To Drop 'Star Trek 3'

Traversing fanboy culture can be treacherous. Say the wrong the thing (or anything really) and it can be taken under a microscope of scrutiny, speculation and potentially ill will. Worry and concern are always something that trouble the culture when something leans in the wrong direction, and studios have generally come around to being wise to this, often offering the safe answer when the reality is up in the air. When it was announced that relentless multitasking filmmaker J.J. Abrams had ultimately decided to direct Disney's "Star Wars: Episode VII," fans rejoiced (though maybe some will rejoice less if they feel the same way our reviewer did about "Star Trek: Into Darkness"), although much of the audience -- including the "Star Trek" creative team writer/producers Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman, Damon Lindelof -- all wondered aloud what this meant for their franchise.

But of course the big question is what becomes of Abrams' relationship with Paramount?
