‘Game Of Thrones’ Duo Benioff & Weiss To Pilot New ‘Star Wars’ Movie Series

quote [ The deal will see the new films as separate from the episodic Skywalker saga, which just bowed Star Wars: The Last Jedi in December, and also separate from the recently announced trilogy being developed by Last Jedi writer-director Rian Johnson.

Like the Johnson trilogy announced in November, no release dates have been set for the new films. The next movie in the Star Wars franchise is the second stand-alone pic, Solo: A Star Wars Story directed by Ron Howard, which bows May 25. ]

Hope there are no Ewok red-weddings...

Both franchises have a thing for incest and amputations. Star Wars could use more boobies.

Eh, color me ambivalent. The best seasons of Game of Thrones aligned with the best books, and once the show left the novels behind, the plot became insanely predictable and trope-ridden. I guess what I'm saying is that the ability to take an existing great story/characters and make a great show out of it isn't the same as being able to come up with a show with a great story/characters on your own.

Yeah, that's my view as well. Everything they've done to the show post-books has been borderline fanfiction. Yes, it delivers crowd-pleasing moments, but the narrative has basically stopped making any sense.

Even if they are hitting GRRM's plot points, they've done so in a very unconvincing and inconsistent manner. I predict that their future projects will be similar without a strong guide to follow.

Disney is apparently deploying the Marvel Model.

I would not at all be opposed to a Jessica Jones/Luke Cage/etc style Star Wars TV series.
