'GoT' Creators David Benioff, DB Weiss Step Down From New 'Star Wars' Trilogy
Game of Thrones creators David Benioff and DB Weiss have exited their deal with Lucasfilm to develop a new Star Wars trilogy. It was earlier confirmed that the duo are actively working on the new trilogy, which will follow the upcoming The Rise of Skywalker. The first instalment was expected to roll out in 2022. But their new multi-year deal with streaming platform Netflix proved to be a hindrance, following which they decided to opt out of their pact with Lucasfilm, reports Deadline.
“We love Star Wars. When George Lucas built it, he built us too. Getting to talk about Star Wars with him and the current Star Wars team was the thrill of a lifetime, and we will always be indebted to the saga that changed everything. But there are only so many hours in the day, and we felt we could not do justice to both Star Wars and our Netflix projects. So we are regretfully stepping away,” Benioff and Weiss said in a statement.
