Star Wars: Episode VII script to be polished

Star Wars: Episode VII will be penned by none other than director J.J. Abrams and Lawrence Kasdan. The duo is taking over for Michael Arndt and will be polishing the script so they can make the Spring 2014 date for production.
Kasdan has previous Lucasfilm writing credits including Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi. He also has previous credits with J.J. Abrams including Super 8, Mission: Impossible III, Fringe, and Lost.

This isn't a really surprising move, in my opinion. I expected Abrams to take over the script at some point. I am looking at the bright side on this right now... at least they didn't bring in Damon Lindelof.
