David Benioff and D.B. Weiss: Wookies > Dragons, any day
One of the biggest hopes with Disney’s purchase of Lucasfilm and theStar Warsproperties was that the cinematic universe would expand. No longer would we wait 20 or more years for the next iteration of films, and so far, this has proven true. And friends, it’s about to get a whole lot truer. True-ish? Let’s just say, you won’t be disappointed to hear that David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, creators and show-runners of HBO’s mega-smashGame of Thrones, will write and produce a new series ofStar Warsfilms.
Why is this a big deal, other than pulling in the team behind TV’s biggest hit? Well, these movies will be independent of not only director Rian Johnson’s planned trilogy, but also of the Skywalker saga. Also, no Porgs, it’s safe to say.
No additional information, including release dates, has been provided at this time.
