With the ink barely dry on Disney's acquistion of Lucasfilm, the company that a mouse built is already into full on pre-production mode for Star Wars Episode VII. Lucasfilm confirmed that Academy Award winning director Michael Arndt (Little Miss Sunshine) will tackle the seventh installment in the Star Wars saga. Arndt also penned Toy Story 3 and the upcoming adaptation of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire.
I think this pick by Lucasfilm is first rate. It really shows me that the people behind this film are fully dedicated to getting the best talent out there on the job. That's not to say that being an Academy Award winner makes you Charles Dickens, far from it. But it does help. Sunshine and Toy Story 3 were both great films so I have lots of faith that Arndt will be able to deliver the goods.
