Game Of Thrones Duo David Benioff & D.B. Weiss Exit Trilogy
Thank christ for that! After the way GoT ended not to mention the obvious drop in writing quality and general issues over the last 2-3 seasons when they had no books to adapt from, I seriously didn’t want them anywhere near a script for Star Wars.
Also the last word I heard on RJ’s trilogy is that after many months of him steadfastly confirming it was still happening and in preparation, his tone at a recent interview has changed to “if” it is still happening. Before TLJ I was intrigued with the premise for his trilogy but now I’d be happy for him to not touch another Star Wars movie ever again.
At this point I see TV series like Mandalorian and Kenobi as the way forward for Star Wars and possibly starting to heal the rift TLJ and the ST at large has caused. I am neutrally interested to know what Fiege’s movie will be about though.
I think RJ’s greatest issue with TLJ is he didn’t think of it as the 8th Star Wars movie, or even the second ST movie. Instead he just made his own thing. On it’s own I’d argue TLJ is a good subversion of SW. This is why I am looking forward to RJ.
On the other hand, I’m happy D&D are out.
