J.J. Abrams: Star Wars Episode 7 Will Have a Central Love Story.

Abrams spoke with French newspaper Metro News and talked about his high opinion of screen writer Michael Arndt and also revealed a tiny part of the story for the upcoming movie…

Abrams said that he was trying to get screenwriter Michael Arndt to work with him for months before realising they would be teaming up on ‘Star Wars: Episode VII’.

”It’s funny because I have admired the screenwriter Michael Arndt since ‘Little Miss Sunshine’.

‘And these last few months I’ve been suggesting he work with me and he kept saying, ‘I can’t, I’m already working on something’. And then one morning I read that he was doing ‘Star Wars’ and I finally got it.”

The 46-year-old super-producer was careful not to give too much away about the hotly-anticipated film’s plot, but revealed there will be a central love story.

Quizzed about the possibility of on-screen romance, he said: ”No doubt, even if I already know I want to approach this project in a different way … We’re only in the initial stages [of making the film] and it’s difficult to talk about it other than to say it’s very exciting.”

All Star Wars movies have a love story so this dosen’t come as a surprise. The question is what part of the whole plot will be connected with it. I hope not much.

    Just because Anakin and Padme’s love story was… less than desirable doesn’t mean all Star Wars love stories are weak. Leia and Han’s was pretty cool. Handled well romance always bolsters a story.

    If they manage to keep the love story at the level of the original trilogy then everything will be OK.

      Don’t forget Jacen and Tahiri, eerily like Anakin/Padme, especially considering most of that storyline was done before Episode 2 or 3 were done.

    I just don’t read anything into the comment.. ”No doubt, even if I already know I want to approach this project in a different way … We’re only in the initial stages [of making the film] and it’s difficult to talk about it other than to say it’s very exciting.” That doesn’t really say there will be a love story?? Although I think there will be. I really think Abrams will keep this very close to the cuff, if his past holds true. I don’t expect much from him. I think he was dodging the question
