Star Wars trilogy from Game of Thrones showrunners no longer happening
David Benioff and DB Weiss wi🐬ll instead focus on their Netflix projects

The new Star Wars trilogy – slated to begin in 2022 – has lost its creators. Game of Thrones showrunners David Benioff and DB Weiss have parted ways with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Lucasfilm due to scheduling conflicts caused by their reported $200m Netfl🎐ix d♛eal.
In a statement sent to just hours after a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:new The Mandalorian trailer dropped, the pair said: “There are only so many hours in the day, a🦂nd we felt we could not do justice to both Star Wars and our Netflix projects. So we are regretfully stepping away.”
While Benioff and Weiss didn’t reveal what they had planned in a galaxy far, far away, they reaffirmed their love for Star Wars, stating: “When George Lucas built [Star Wars], he built us too. Getting to talk about Star Wars with him and the current Star Wars team was the thrill of a lifet༺ime, and we will always be indebted to the saga thꦇat changed everything.”
Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy has responded t🤪o 🌟the departure, hinting that Star Wars could still be in the Game of Thrones’ creators future: “David Benioff and Dan Weiss are incredible storytellers, We hope to include them in the journey forward when they are able to step away from their busy schedule to focus on Star Wars.”
Benioff and Weiss signed a nine-figure deal with Netflix in August, giving them the ability to create movies and TV shows exclusive to the streaming service. Both Amazon and, interestingly enough, Disney also bid for their se🐠rvices but were ultimately unsuccessf🍸ul.
The future post-澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, though, is still bright, even with the new trilogy in limbo. Marvel mastermind Kevin Feige 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:is overseeing an un🎃known movie in the franchise, while 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Star Wars: The Last Jedi director Rian Johnson also has a trilogy of hiജs own in the works.
