The official Star Wars site has today posted an interesting announcement that Lawrence Kasdan and J.J. Abrams have officially "assumed screenwriting duties for Episode VII. The language of the release makes it difficult to tell if this is an expected transfer (with Michael Arndt having fulfilled his role in producing the basic screenplay), or whether something else is going on behind the scenes.
What this'll mean for the final product is yet to be seen, but it's certainly good news to hear that Kasdan (with writing credits for both Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back and Episode VI - Return of the Jedi) is on board. The release also contains an official announcement of other crew that will be working on the film, including Star Wars veterans Ben Burtt and Matthew Wood.
