Originally, it was George's story. He outlined everything that's supposed to happen in 7-9. Michael Arndt was hired to turn this story into a screenplay, with Kasdan in an advisory role.
From what I understand, Abrams was unhappy with Arndt's direction. Abrams began publicly pitching a fit, as I noted months ago. I'd been hearing there would be some sort of public announcement the past few weeks and it's clear that Lucasfilm chose Abrams over Arndt.
Where it goes from here is anyone's guess. I haven't received any confirmation as to what's happening with the story.
