Star Wars

[emay]

Pretty sure Lucas is just overlooking some of the production if anything....script was written by a Disney guy when they handed it over to them.

Umm

The script is not written by "a Disney guy"

The writers are JJ Abrams, Michael Arndt (winner of the Academy award, best screenplay go "Little Miss Sunshine"), and Lawrence (I wrote Empire Strikes Back, Return Of The Jedi, and Raiders Of The Lost Ark, motherfuckers) Kasdan.

Ah I read the article wrong, the "story treatment" or first drafts of the screenplay, for the next 3 episodes is handled by the Disney chairman, Bob Iger.

Story treatment is plot layout. That is not the same as a screenplay. It's more an outline.
This is an important distinction and not just because of union rules. The screenplay gives us the dialog, the intricacies of the plot itself...

Story is only a bit more elaborate than:

A young farm boy meets an old wise man and travels with him to fight the evil galactic empire and learn the ways of a mysterious power called "the force".

That is then handed to a screenwriter who then makes something of it.
