Game of Thrones showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss will write and produce a new series of Star Wars films, Lucasfilm announced today. These new films will be part of a series separate from the ongoing episodic Skywalker saga, as well as the recently announced trilogy of films being developed by Star Wars: The Last Jedi's Rian Johnson. “David and Dan are some of the best storytellers working today,” Kathleen Kennedy, president of Lucasfilm, said in a statement.
