Too bad Leigh Brackett is not with us anymore, their work on Empire is some of the best screenwriting ever done.
Actually Leigh Brackett worked on many of my favorite movies. Empire, The Big Sleep, Rio Bravo.

Badass Digest are the latest to add to the rumours that Abrams threatened to walk over Arndt's script. They suggest Lucas's whole outline may have been abandoned.

I have a hard time believing that longtime Lucas confidante Kathleen Kennedy would allow Abrams to dismiss George's outline for 7-9, unless he and Kasdan came up with something mind blowing and brilliant. Even then, it's a stretch. |

I think you're misunderstanding Kasdan's role.
He's not there to write or create a story. He's been hired to interpret George's story and write dialogue for the characters. No plot points, not the story line, just the script based on an existing story. |

Is that still true though if they've thrown out Arndt's script? Will JJ and Kasdan be true co-writers on this new thing, whatever it is?

Personally, I think he was a bad hire. Toy Story 3 is a great movie but it's too sentimental in comparison to a Star Wars movie. Same with Little Miss Sunshine. It just seems like the wrong "tone". |

But that could be misinformation or bad speculation. If you're hearing differently, I'll take that. |

At this point, I'm not even sure that it matters because Abrams is clearly in full control and will likely do whatever he pleases. |

Originally, it was George's story. He outlined everything that's supposed to happen in 7-9. Michael Arndt was hired to turn this story into a screenplay, with Kasdan in an advisory role.
From what I understand, Abrams was unhappy with Arndt's direction. Abrams began publicly pitching a fit, as I noted months ago. I'd been hearing there would be some sort of public announcement the past few weeks and it's clear that Lucasfilm chose Abrams over Arndt. Where it goes from here is anyone's guess. I haven't received any confirmation as to what's happening with the story. |
