You do realise producers are the ones who give money towards the production right? Better get out those LoL funds :D

Apparently Michael Arndt is going to be writing the script and has already put a treatment together. He wrote Toy Story 3, got an oscar for writing Little Miss Sunshine and just finished writing the next Hunger Games script. He's also a huge Star Wars fan so this could all really come together rather nicely.

I do like how they seem to be focused on getting proper talent for this new movie. Same can't be the said for the prequels.

On another note Spielberg is out for directing: http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/movies/news/a437122/steven-spielberg-i-wont-direct-star-wars-episode-7.html

Michael Arndt officially confirmed. Bet they'll announce the director before the end of the month.

Speculation. Abrams has even said he doesn't want to do it and isn't doing it. That's a shame, too, 'cause he is magic. Magic!!

Not speculation. It's all been confirmed. It's even listed on IMDB now. Official announcement from JJ and LucasFilm is meant to come today.

He did originally deny it back in December but far too many sources have now reported on the hiring since yesterday. So yeah time to get excited ;)

Woo!

That's what I get for believing what I read, I guess. Now, if they also say Giacchino is doing the score, it'll be perfect. Kasdan consulting? Outstanding.

Come on, Episode VII, Star Wars movie might have an actual shot of being as awesome as it should've been with the prequels.

This new trilogy is going to kick the prequels ass. Not that it's hard to do, besides Ep 3 which was awesome. JJ is gonna rock it!

Not sure how i feel about this news. I'm loving the whole JJ and new trilogy that follows the previous episodes which is all sounding great but now standalone films too... I dunno it could be milking the franchise.

I guess it will be nice seeing more of the universe outside of what the episodes have given us. They could give us some from the Old Republic. I admit a Revan movie would be bad ass ^_^

Not sure how you feel? Lawrence Kasdan. Enough said.

I look at it like this, there are a lot of good Star Wars books that break off and tell stories of other characters. Now they're doing it with films. You throw Lawrence Kasdan in there who wrote THE best Star Wars film of them all, well hell, I'm pretty excited.

Quote:
 
After he sold his screenplay Continental Divide to Steven Spielberg, George Lucas commissioned Kasdan in 1979 to complete the screenplay for Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back after the death of Leigh Brackett. Lucas then commissioned Kasdan to write the screenplay for Raiders of the Lost Ark and the last installment of the Star Wars trilogy, Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi.
Yeah, only Raiders, RoTJ and Empire Strikes Back.

Episode VII will show us if this whole Disney taking over thing is good or not, but I'm having a hard time seeing the downsides so far. EVERYthing I read about Disney's plans so far comes right out of my Star Wars-lovin' fanboy dreams.
