GAME OF THRONES IS set for the NEW STAR WARS
David Benioff and DB Weiss said they were "honored by the opportunity [and] a little terrified by the responsibility"
Game of Thrones creators David Benioff and DB Weiss have been given the green light to write and produce a brand new series of Star Wars movies.
The official Star Wars website made the announcement today (February 6), clarifying that the new set of films will be “separate from both the episodic Skywalker saga and the recently-announced trilogy being developed by Rian Johnson”.
“David and Dan are some of the best storytellers working today,” Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy said about the announcement. “Their command of complex characters, depth of story and richness of mythology will break new ground and boldly push Star Wars in ways I find incredibly exciting.”
