JJ Abrams' tight lipped approach to Star Trek: Into Darkness was legendary, but he's just admitted that he needs to take a very different approach to Star Wars Episode 7 and open up a little bit about the process, the script, and so forth! 

The director of the upcoming blockbuster told Screen Rant that when he first got the finalized, approved script for the movie, his assistants began lining the windows with black paper so that no one could see what he was doing. "I thought that was a little extreme," he admitted, and he further stated that the secrecy approach to the script made it look like he was being "too clever." 

"Star Wars is in every way a different animal. It's always been a more open, fan-engaged universe than I've been used to, so I'm sure there'll be some sort of compromise. But it feels to me like there's a purity in not knowing every little thing. We're living in a moment of instant information and a sense of entitlement to that information ... But I think it's nice to remember that there's nothing wrong with a sense of anticipation," he said. 

There are some fans, in fact, who would rather a book about the process of making Episode VII than the actual Episode VII rumors themselves... specifically, Badass Rant's resident Star Wars fan, Devin Faraci, who believes that an "unflinching" book about the film would do the franchise some good. "I've been saying it all along and I'll say it again: I think an unsparing book about the making of Episode VII will be better than Episode VII (even if Episode VII is great!), and I suspect the chapters about the marketing battles on the movie will be especially juicy. Every reveal on this film -- from casting to character names to costumes -- will be fought over tooth and nail. It's going to be interesting," he writes.

It could very well be that Abrams knows the treasure he's holding, and he's going to do everything in his power to make sure that his "special baby" is able to thrive under his direction. He's also under a lot of pressure from both the Hollywood elite and Star Wars fans, as this will be the first Star Wars vehicle without George Lucas being somewhere at the helm. (The fact that it's owned by the Disney Corporation now is making some of us Star Wars fans a little itchy to begin with...)

So... what's the first secret you'd like Abrams to spill?
