- STAR WARS EPISODE 7
IGN recently managed to get an interview with screenwriting
duo Lawrence Kasdan and Simon Kinberg who are set to consult on Star Wars:
Episode VII. The duo have been hard at work penning the potential stand-alone
Star Wars films.
“They’re going to be fun. J.J. (Abrams)’s a great director
for the first sequel. Perfect. We’re very happy to have him. The writers I’ve
been working with – Michael Arndt, who’s going to write the sequel, and Simon
Kinberg, who has, like me, been sort of consulting — they’re great. I’ve never
really collaborated a lot, and I’ve never been a room with a bunch of writers
thinking, “Well, what should this thing be?” It’s fun. It’s really fun. And
J.J.’s a writer. Yeah, lovely guy. I’d met him but didn’t know him. But now I’m
totally enamored by him. He’s really funny and so enthusiastic.”

Although Kasdan did not respond when asked if we would see
some familir faces return, he did smile coyly. Kinberg was equally tight-lipped
but did at least offer a reason as to why.
“This is what I would say: as a fan, I wouldn’t want to know
too much. I know that’s impossible because it’s not the ’70s or ’80s anymore,
but part of what was so exciting about A New Hope for me was I was entering
into a universe I didn’t know. Even in Empire, I was surprised by a twist I
never would have seen coming. But it’s different nowadays. I understand the excitement,
and I’m happy that people are interested, obviously. But I’d rather people have
something left to discover when they go in.”
There has been a rumour floating around the net that Yoda
might be getting his own Stand-Alone film. While this wasn’t confirmed, Frank
Oz the voice of Yoda, certainly seems excitied by the prospect to voice Yoda
again, whether it be in stand-alone film or potential sequels. Speaking to Hero
Complex, Oz talks about the opportunity to voice Yoda again, while dashing
fans’ hopes of a return to Yoda as a puppet:
“He’s in my heart. I know Yoda very deeply…The future of
Yoda is likely in CGI, as he was rendered in “Attack of the Clones” and
“Revenge of the Sith.” I think it
depends on the story, but I think at this point you can’t go back to the
puppet. The reason George [Lucas] did
the CGI, which I supported, was that he wanted to tell a story that would have
been hampered by the physical limitations of the puppet.”
Star Wars Episode 7 is slotted for 2015 release, but that might
be changing, you will have to stay tuned for more.
