Not as odd a choice as you would think. There are essentially three "stats" by which writers can be judged: world-building, characters, and plot. Some writers are strong in some and weak in others. Arndt has proven that he can do characters and plot, which are mostly fully transferable skills between genres (unless you have highly technical genres like techno-thrillers or certain other types of sci-fi, but space opera isn't one of them). World building will be fully left under Lucasfilm's control, and is the thing Lucas himself has always been very good at, so we have to assume good things here.
