Various recent bits of "news" that may or may not be worth noting:

 

Star Wars is coming out in 2015, whether it's ready or not. (backed up by today's release date)

 

Arndt got the ax because he couldn't (or wouldn't) rush to make the deadline. From JJ:

 



It became clear that given the time frame and given the process and the way the thing was going that working with Larry in this way was going to get us where we need to be and when we needed to be. Working with Larry Kasdan, especially on a Star Wars movie is kind of unbeatable. ...

Working with Michael was a wonderful experience and I couldn’t be a bigger fan of his or adore him more, He’s a wonderful guy and was incredibly helpful in the process. [This event] doesn’t preclude working with Michael again in the future, he is one of the best writers around.

 

And one bit that isn't really news but I don't know where else to put it:

 

Fans write/animate "Open Letter" to JJ Abrams asking him not to screw it up

 

and

 

JJ Abrams responds!
