Ok, say they did start from complete scratch on the project (excepting the outline by Lucas) after the Disney acquisition of Lucasfilm. They hired Arndt in November of last year. You're telling me that a professional writer whose done this many, many times before, takes an entire year to write a script? I don't think so. And only after that entire year of writing, and who knows how many drafts, do they decide that Arndt's work is no good and decide to start over yet again? I'm sorry, but Lucasfilm knew from the beginning when Disney wanted the movie released, so there is no excuse as to why they can't have it done within that time frame. I get that they're trying to make this the best possible movie after the huge backlash from the prequels, and i respect and want that too, even though I'm a part of the minority that actually liked the prequels overall. All I'm saying is that given the amount of time that's passed since the beginning of production, to say that the studio's release date is unreasonable is unreasonable in itself.
