Wow, this is one of those things that would be awesome if its true. IGN have the story claiming that Lawrence Kasden is writing episode 8 and 9.
Holy crap, fanboys! Deadline reports that Disney has approached Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi screenwriter Lawrence Kasdan and screenwriter Simon Kinberg (X-Men: The Last Stand, X-Men: First Class) about scripting Star Wars: Episode VIII and Star Wars: Episode IX. Oscar winner Michael Arndt is scripting Star Wars: Episode VII.
This is one of those stories that would be great to come true, as most people agree that Emipre and Return are the best of the Star Wars films. Of course its still very much a rumor for now, but something to consider. If Disney are going out of their way to secure writers that know the subject well, and people know write good films then its a huge plus for the way the movies are going.
