Star Wars Episode VII Already Written?

A report by the website, Screenrant, says that Toy Story 3 writer Michael Arndt has already written the script for the new, as yet untitled, Star Wars Episode VII film.  The film franchise, under the auspices of Lucasfilm Ltd, is now owned by Disney since the late October acquisition by the family-oriented entertainment company from Star Wars creator George Lucas for $4.05 billion.

Although the piece maintains that the completed work is simply a "treatment," Ardnt has reportedly already written the synopsis points for episodes VIII and IX as well.

In other related news, actor Ewan McGregor has stated he would be "happy" to reprise the role of Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi if the producers of the new films come calling.
"I guess, yeah, of course. If they need me, yeah, I'd be happy [to go back]," McGregor said.
