I just started re-reading the Thrawn trilogy.....no one wrote Star Wars quite like Zahn. Is there any reason why he couldn't script Episode VII? He would hit it out of the park.
You're not alone with those thoughts, by the way. Zahn's mentioned a few times that as soon as the Disney deal was announced he started getting asked that same question regularly. Even if it weren't Thrawn-based, I have no doubt that the franchise would finally be in excellent hands indeed.
