Since Disney confirmed the acquisition of LucasFilm and the production of a new trilogy inspired by the Star Wars universe, fans of the series have feared the worst. If the first three episodes were no big deal, what would you expect from a sequence of the original films that marked the lives of so many people? For, in the midst of so much fear, here comes a new hope!

According to The Hollywood Reporter, an old fan acquaintance is expected to return to new productions. Lawrance Kasdan has been confirmed as part of the team that will work on the script for the upcoming Episodes 8 and 9.

But what does it mean? For many, a sign of relief, as he has extensive knowledge of the original trilogy. All of this because he was responsible for creating the plots of "The Empire Strikes Back" and "The Return of the Jedi" and worked on other LucasFilms films such as "Indiana Jones and the Hunters of the Lost Ark."

Although many people are still concerned about the decision to resume the Skywalkers saga, Kasdan's involvement in the plot production can be a great sign that the sequences will respect the original material.

Other names

However, he was not the only name to be confirmed to work on the script of the new Star Wars. To work alongside Kasdan on the storytelling of the last two episodes of the new trilogy, Disney hired Simon Kinberg, screenwriter for the excellent Sherlock Holmes and not-so-good X-Men 3: The Last Clash and Jumper.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, it is not yet known exactly what the division of tasks will be like between the pair and whether they will work together, separate or be active in both films. All that has been said is that they are involved, which is - in a way - great news.

In addition to them, another name was also announced, this time to write Episode 7. These are Michael Arndt, writer of "Toy Story 3" and "Little Miss Sunshine."
