I'm a little confused. Will the writers work together at all, or does each have free reign on their own movie?

There's no such thing as "free reign" on tentpole properties like Star Wars.

My guess is that GL will hand each of them a plot summary and their job is to fill in the details. Then run it back past GL for his input.

Well, maybe not he himself, but "the powers that be".

I'm getting a little worried now. It sounds like the only peer review going on will be from George Lucas.

[Orbert]

Yeah, but at least we should be starting with some decent quality writing.  I (somewhat) trust Lucas to give scripts and plot ideas the thumbs up or thumbs down, as long as someone else comes up with them.  He's proven that he doesn't know how to write a script or a screenplay.

I don’t like George Lucas' writing. It’s coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere. Not like Lawrence Kasdans. His writing is soft and smooth.

I read his novelization of ANH. Definitely not what I'd call top notch writing

That's not really a fair comparison, though.  That's like comparing making out with Natalie Portman to getting your private parts sandblasted.

Hm, I guess my joke was too obscure. Replace "George Lucas' writing" with "sand" and "Lawrence Kasands" with "here".

Not for me. Can't believe nobody else caught it, but I lauged.

I got it.  I guess my clues that I'd gotten it were too obscure.  (Natalie=Padme, and sand)

[Adami]

Oh sorry, I was distracted by the whole mixture of Natalie Portman and my private parts.

[Orbert]

Understandable.
