She's one of the first writers I'd turn to for a project of this size and scope, given her knack for world building and experience working on big-budget projects, both credited and not, so I'm not surprised she got the gig. Kalogridis marks the first female Star Wars writer since Leigh Brackett co-wrote 1980's The Empire Strikes Back with Lawrence Kasdan. I typically like to confirm major news like this on my own, but given the secrecy surrounding Star Wars and the fact that it is coming from a well-respected journalist like Kate Aurthur, who confirmed her info with three separate sources, I'm willing to bet it's legit. Laeta Kalogridis, who executive produced Avatar, has been tapped to write a new Star Wars movie based on the beloved 2003 video game Star Wars: Knights of Old Republic - and the kicker is that it's supposed to serve as the first film in a new trilogy, according to BuzzFeed News.Ī representative for Disney/Lucasfilm declined to comment, while representatives for Kalogridis did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
