IGN caught up with Simon Kinberg and Lawrence Kasdan at a screenwriting awards event last night. Naturally, the conversation focused on the recent announcement that they would be collaborating on Star Wars spinoff films in addition to consulting on the sequel trilogy. Here's what Kinberg said when prodded by IGN about the content of his spinoff film.
IGN: Is there anything you can say in terms of working with established Star Wars characters, or are you coming from a whole new plot and characters for your standalone movie?
Kinberg: This is what I would say: as a fan, I wouldn?t want to know too much. I know that?s impossible because it?s not the '70s or '80s anymore, but part of what was so exciting about A New Hope for me was I was entering into a universe I didn?t know. Even in Empire, I was surprised by a twist I never would have seen coming. But it?s different nowadays. I understand the excitement, and I?m happy that people are interested, obviously. But I?d rather people have something left to discover when they go in.

They will remain for sale in the store for anybody that still wishes to purchase them. Details after the jump.
