Regarding the new films... not much to say which hasn't been said before, the casting of the original trio is the worst kept secret in the history of cinema. But hopefully the new films will be better than the prequels, which shouldn't be hard because the plots, scripts, acting, and visuals were truly abysmal. Abrams is probably a decent choice... even if the films turn out to be simply enjoyable popcorn-fodder, that's fine with me - let's not kid ourselves that the original trilogy was anything more. John Boyega... congrats to the guy, hope he makes the most of the opportunity.
