What do we know so far? Well, here's a quick round up.

One of the things we know is that J.J. Abrams will be directing the new films, yes, he is also responsible for directing Star Trek Into Darkness which is still yet to be released, he is also responsible for directing the 2009 Star Trek film; A Star Trek director. Luckily, he is a massive Star Wars fan, and a talented director, so  that make's me slightly more excited.

It has also been rumored that Harrison Ford, Billy Dee Williams, Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher and Anthony Daniels will be playing their roles from the original trilogy, but again, these are just rumors.
