meh, Affleck would probably bring Star Wars back to where it started, the darker and grittier world / story. Abrams take is usually more upbeat with a lot of tongue in cheek humor., his version will probably have more than one 'hand getting chopped off at the wrist' scene to make fun of Lucas' tired trope.
God damn, you linked his IMDB and didn't read it?
Maybe. But that's assuming he doesn't go geek or just outright sell out to his friends by letting his brother play Han Solo Jr. or god knows what else. It's just an awfully big risk using a guy with 3 1/2 movies and his only comparable genre movie was Daredevil. It's all a moot point now.
Doesn't Peter Jackson love the Tolkien universe? I'm pretty sure everyone is claiming he pissed all over his grave with The Hobbit so... flawed logic.
If anything, the Hobbit demonstrates why it is good to not try to do close to 1:1 book to movie adaptations. Books have lots of material that can be good on the page, but translate horribly to the screen due to various reasons (pacing being the #1 reason). Can you imagine Game of Thrones on HBO if they had included the pages upon pages of introducing ancillary characters with virtually no direct impact on the story? People would have been "wtf is this shit???".
You think this is over...there are two more films and i dont think they will keep Abrams on all three. They will get 3 directors just like they are getting 3 writers. He still has a chance to do one and i would rather him do the new middle darker film than the final lighter film.
