With Star Wars Episode VII still months away from shooting, Disney is apparently wasting no time lining up writers for episodes 8 and 9. According to "Deadline" the studio has already reached out to Lawrence Kasdan and Simon Kinberg, although no word on which writer would pen which episode.
Both writers have impressive backgrounds. Kinberg pitched in with Sherlock Holmes and X-Men: First Class. And you may have heard about Kasdan's previous work. He wrote both The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.
Bear in mind that these are just rumors right now and based on the nature of Hollywood, writers are likely to move in and out of this project more often than Ron Jeremy at an all day shoot. (Too much?)
I'm seriously hoping for Kasdan if for nothing else than he's familiar with the franchise.
