Asher Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 this from VARIETY.com “Game of Thrones” creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss are going to write and produce a new series of “Star Wars” films, Disney announced on Tuesday. The new series will be separate from the main episodic Skywalker saga that started with “Star Wars: A New Hope” and is slated to wrap up with 2019’s “Star Wars: Episode IX.” It will also exist independently from a Rian Johnson-helmed series that was announced last year. “David and Dan are some of the best storytellers working today,” said Kathleen Kennedy, president of Lucasfilm, in a statement. “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.” It also comes at a time of transition for Benioff and Weiss. “Game of Thrones,” their sprawling fantasy epic, will end its run on HBO in 2019. The two men previously announced that they were developing another series for HBO called “Confederate.” However, that show generated a great deal of controversy over its plot line — it’s an alternate history series that imagines that the American Civil war ended in a stalemate and slavery remains legal — which some deemed insensitive. HBO declined to comment on the future of that series. Asher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airborne Trooper Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 I would rather see them direct an HBO SW series instead of films. At one point before Disney purchased SW rights, there were talks about an HBO show too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
