Was kind of bummed to read this but I suppose I knew it would happen. Apparently Lawrence Kasdan is moving on after he finishes up with the Han Solo SW Anthology film (due in 2018). So he will have co-written TFA and the Han Solo movie and bow out. I hope Rian Johnson is really as good as they say to write the middle film. For that matter, Colin Trevorrow with the final film in the ST.

Another thing this convinces me of is that Han Solo will absolutely die in TFA. Kasdan has written some of Harrison Ford’s most iconic moments in the cinema and him bowing out after TFA and the Solo Anthology film solidifies, for me, that Captain Solo is not long for this galaxy.
