Michael Arndt to Write Screenplay for Star Wars: Episode VII

November 09, 2012
As pre-production of Star Wars: Episode VII begins, Lucasfilm has confirmed that award-winning writer Michael Arndt will write the screenplay for the new Star Wars film.

As revealed in the ongoing video series posted here on StarWars.com, Kathleen Kennedy and George Lucas have begun story conferences with Arndt.

Arndt won an Academy Award® for Best Original Screenplay for writing Little Miss Sunshine (2006), and was nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay for writing Toy Story 3 (2010).

For more news about Star Wars: Episode VII -- slated for a 2015 release -- keep checking StarWars.com.

 Watch for yourself George, and Kathleen talk about what's happening with the new movie coming out in 2015.

So with all the good news rolling in for us Star Wars nerds! Further news rolls in from one of the original cast members as Harrison Ford Rumoured To Want “Death Clause” Deal For Star Wars Sequel!

First Bill Murray with this death crap for GhostBusters 3, and now Harrison Ford also wants to be put to death if he signs on for another round as Han Solo in the new planned sequel trilogy set after the events of Return of the Jedi.

It's already been announced that these will be original stories, and with this comes a lot of buzz of when they will be set in the timeline established by George Lucas, and the Extended Universe.

As a fan I can only hope that we get to see the original cast in some form. If Solo has to die to make this happen then so be it.

I want to see an older Luke Skywalker, and a new bad guy that can be as equally as badass as Vader. This is all a fanboy wants.

Here is the info!

Harrison Ford is said to be happy to come back for the next Star Wars movie… though he may just have a particular clause in mind for his contract.

Entertainment Weekly reported that Harrison Ford will be happy to reprise the role of Han Solo, pending the confirmation of script and director.

Also word came out that he maybe also asking for the character to be killed off, just as he originally wanted to happen in Return of the Jedi.

Ford’s desire to die was thwarted by Lucas in order for Han Solo toys to continue to be made... Maybe some of that Disney magic will make it happen this time out.

The report does make it clear that all three of Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher and Ford are keen to take part in this next generation of the saga. A source calls them “upbeat”:

Harrison is open to the idea of doing the movie and he’s upbeat about it, all three of them are.

Goodbye 2011, and welcome 2012!

I cannot believe 2011 is now a thing of the past my how fast this past year has gone by us, and as I type this I think of all the things that happened to me on 2011 some good, some not good, and some even great I might say.

But mostly overall 2011 was an interesting year for sure. See starting off I've been involved with two great radio stations which I'm very proud to be involved with.


Did another entire year of my radio show "Tha Jackals Head" and wrapped up the first full season of Outtasite Radio with my good friend Mr Outtasite himself! Good times there.

This year I got to meet one of my radio heroes who's been that since I was a young teen, and I now call him a friend in Jorge Rodriguez, and was able to meet the rest of the SoFlo Radio staff who has been great to know even tho for some odd reason he hates me now for some reason I was very proud to call Luis of the Pow Wow a friend this year again even if he hates me now, and he's someone who I spent some time with this year at two conventions along with his lovely wife Journey "Producer Pumpkin" Charles, and his kid who's a great kid. Also got to thank Jason Staska for all his help this year he's been amazing! Boca Brian, Monica, and like I said the whole SoFlo staff which I consider like family now thank you, and welcome into my world.

This year saw me re establish an online friendship which I lost due to another person's gossip... Got to reestablish my friendship with another old friend who I have not spoken to since 2002, and we now are on speaking terms again which makes me very happy as he's a dear friend of mines, and I missed having him to speak to so yes this year has brought people back to me, and overall has been a very interesting year indeed.

I hope 2012 is as special or more so then 2011 was but I look forward to whatever it brings, and hope to continue to build on relationships made this past year, and before it. I know I don't know everyone personally on my "friends" list on FaceBook but even those of you who have been added to my friends list, and have been very nice over the years thank you, and wish you all a great new years.

To all who listen to my show thank you for tuning in, and downloading the archives, and I promise to continue to try, and make the show better, and better just for you. You are part of my extended family, and I only do the show for you. I will always welcome all feedback, and suggestions from listeners, and will continue to be available for anyone who would like to talk to me in private.

I love you all... Happy new years!
