Lawrence Kasdan is an American director, screenwriter, and producer. He is the co-writer of the Star Wars films "The Empire Strikes Back," "Return of the Jedi," "The Force Awakens" and "Solo: A Star Wars Story." Kasdan also co-wrote the "Indiana Jones film Raiders of the Lost Ark" and is the writer-director of "Body Heat," "The Big Chill" and "The Accidental Tourist." Kasdan is known for updating old Hollywood genres—film noir, science-fiction, westerns—in a classical dramatic style with quick-witted dialogue, but dealing with contemporary social themes. As a director, Kasdan has made various personal films that examine characters and generations.

He has been nominated for four Academy Awards: as a producer for Best Picture nominee The Accidental Tourist, for which he was also nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay, and for Best Original Screenplay for both The Big Chill and Grand Canyon. He has often collaborated with his wife, Meg.
