"For me- and I know that this was true for J.J. [Abrams] and Larry Kasdan [screenwriter], obviously, and Kathy Kennedy [producer], and Michael Arndt [writer], it was all about sort of honoring the original movies and yet wanting to take a step forward, too, and tell a new story," Kinberg said.

"[The Expanded Universe] is not off limits," he continued. "It's certainly inspiring, and I'm working on a new animated show for them as well - Star Wars: Rebels - that will take inspiration from everywhere.
