"Joe Johnston has said that JJ Abrams &amp;quot;may be overqualified&amp;quot; for Star Wars. The Captain America: The First Avenger director - whose name was previously mentioned in connection to Disney&amp;#039;s films - praised the selection of the Star Trek director.   &amp;quot;JJ Abrams is the perfect choice to get the third trilogy off the ground,&amp;quot; Johnston told The Huffington Post. &amp;quot;These films are big logistical nightmares to direct, like any $150 million plus project. They&amp;#039;re like military operations in the attention to detail required while trying to retain a grasp of the big picture. &amp;quot;JJ has more than proven he can handle the pressure, plus it doesn&amp;#039;t hurt to have a guy at the wheel who has produced, written, and created shows of his own. If anything he may be overqualified.&amp;quot; Disney has confirmed that the new Star Wars trilogy will be supported by a series of stand-alone films.
