    Game of Thrones creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss
    to write and produce a new series of Star Wars films
    ------------------------------------------------------
    David Benioff and D.B. Weiss are going from Winterfell to
    a galaxy far, far away.

    It was announced today that Benioff and Weiss, creators
    of the smash-hit, Emmy Award-winning television series
    Game of Thrones, will write and produce a new series of
    Star Wars films.

    These new films will be separate from both the episodic
    Skywalker saga and the recently-announced trilogy being
    developed by Rian Johnson, writer-director of Star Wars:
    The Last Jedi.

    "David and Dan are some of the best storytellers working
    today," said Kathleen Kennedy, president of Lucasfilm.
    "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."

    "In the summer of 1977 we traveled to a galaxy far, far
    away, and we've been dreaming of it ever since," Benioff
    and Weiss said in a joint statement. "We are honored by
    the opportunity, a little terrified by the responsibility,
    and so excited to get started as soon as the final season
    of Game of Thrones is complete."

    No release dates have been set for the new films, and
    there have (thankfully) been no sightings of White Walkers
    around Lucasfilm.
