Star Wars: Episode VII has a new writing team: J.J. Abrams and Lawrence Kasdan. The pair takes over on the script from Michael Arndt (Little Miss Sunshine, Toy Story 3), who was announced as the screenwriter of the sequel a year ago.
As per StarWars.com, Kasdan and Abrams “have assumed screenwriting duties for the film.” Kasdan, who co-wrote The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, had been serving as a consultant on Episode VII. Abrams, of course, is also directing the film.
"I am very excited about the story we have in place and thrilled to have Larry and J.J. working on the script," says Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy in the company’s announcement. "There are very few people who fundamentally understand the way a Star Wars story works like Larry, and it is nothing short of incredible to have him even more deeply involved in its return to the big screen. J.J. of course is an incredible storyteller in his own right. Michael Arndt has done a terrific job bringing us to this point and we have an amazing filmmaking and design team in place already prepping for production."
