“I am very excited to be working on Star Wars,” Kaplan said “I’m so looking forward to collaborating, once again, with JJ.”
Kaplan has previously worked with Abrams on both Star Trek flms and Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol. His impressive resume extends even further as Kaplan designed the costumes for cult classics Fight Club and Blade Runner.
Star Wars: Episode VII will be directed by J.J. Abrams from a screenplay by Michael Arndt and is scheduled for a 2015 release.
