   Eh, yes I know? Why are you writing this? Have I claimed he either did   
   not create it or that he could not do whatever he wanted?

   Again - JJ Abrams could not butcher Star Wars even if he wanted. George   
   Lucas already did that. It's like shooting a dead horse expected it to   
   be more dead.   
      
   If anything, JJ can either keep the horse dead (by continuing the train   
   wreck that was the prequels) or he can do something better. He can not   
   do something worse. It is not possible.   
      
   If the 2009 Star Trek was renamed as Star Wars and released now, it   
   would be a hundred times better than the prequels.   
      
   (yeah, ok, a bit of hyperbole, but I've really come to despise the   
   prequels).
