Many people have mixed feelings about Disney's acquisition las year of LucasArts for the tidy sum of $4.05B, and I would be lying if I said I wasn't one of them, especially after they announced that there would be three new films. This new trilogy will be the first not to be headed creator George Lucas, and instead by Star Trek director J.J. Abrams. Fan boys can breath a sigh of relief, as Abrams has announced that still untitled Episode VII will be shot entirely on 35mm Kodack film.
Abrams has long been a proponent of film over digital when it comes to shooting his movies, saying it makes it "feel real" and that film gave "a familiarity and comfort, a real warmth." The switch back from the all high definition of the prequels should help evoke the feel of the originals. Though Disney has released very little information about the story, George Lucas did come up with some story treatments back in the 80's, some of which can be found here.
