I hope Leia is now an interstellar coke addict.

Lucasfilm Confirms Michael Arndt to Write 'Star Wars: Episode VII'

The story is said to focus on a new generation of heroes and would feature appearances by Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher in older incarnations of their beloved characters from the original Star Wars trilogy.
Sources have said not to discount the possibility that a number of characters from previous Star Wars films could reappear — even the dead Jedis, who have a habit of showing up in spirit form.

If Disney can keep focus and quit fighting with Marvel over talent, we could have a director before the end of the year.

However, it seems like they've pulled technical talent from everywhere to make 2015 happen.

We're throwing darts at names.

Drew Goddard is available and very much fits the bill.

I'd see that movie.

Brad Bird really went outta his way to deny Episode VII rumors. Suspiciously so.

Only the true messiah denies his divinity!

[Abraham Smashington]

I feel bad for whoever is the director.

[FilmNerdJamie]

Yeah, that is the thankless job in showbiz.

Larry Kasdan and Simon Kinberg writing the second and third installments of new trilogy.

Yes, that Larry Kasdan.

Fuck it.

Nolan took a meeting with Lucasfilm this past week.

[Matt]

Nolan's aesthetic is tonally wrong for STAR WARS.

[Abraham Smashington]

Nolan would be great for a one-off in the SW universe. Not for a continuation of the current flicks.

[FilmNerdJamie]

Bane is Nolan doing Darth Vader.

Big, hulking scary guy wearing a mask to breathe, kills people left and right, people shit themselves in his presence and yet he turns into a little bitch in front of his woman.

Nolan's aesthetic is tonally wrong for STAR WARS.

No way. I think Empire is pretty close to what Nolan goes for. And there's some seedy fucking underbelly in the expanded universe. Star Wars is a lot more than lightsabers and jawas.

[FilmNerdJamie]

No idea why even take a meeting. You know they're just going to get a Journeyman director. Nolan is too expensive and now requires too much power than Kennedy & Co. would allow.

Just look at the Superman footage. Not a shred of Snyder, save for that slow-mo 300 shot of Clark floating the water. Everything else screams how Nolan was controlling him.
