The Emmy-winning pair recently signed a nine-figure deal with Netflix and decided to step away from the Star Wars saga after feeling they could not do justice to both projects.

“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,” read a statement released by the duo.

Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy described Benioff and Weiss as “incredible storytellers” and said they’re looking forward to including them in their Star Wars journey once their busy schedule clears up.

Even with plans for this trilogy falling through, fans of Star Wars have nothing to worry about. Lucasfilm still has many exciting projects in store, including a new trilogy developed by Rian Johnson and a new film with Marvel Cinematic Universe producer Kevin Feige at the helm.

The guys responsible for bringing us 8 seasons of Game of Thrones are now moving on to another of our favorite franchises. One in a galaxy far, far away.

Disney has confirmed that David Benioff and D.B. Weiss will be working on the new Star Wars film which is coming out in 2022.

“We’re hard at work already, but we felt three years was the proper amount of time to not only take a breather and reset but to gear up for the next film’s release,” said Disney CEO Bob Iger. “We did a deal with David Benioff and Dan Weiss, who are famous for Game of Thrones and the next movie that we release will be theirs, and we’re not saying anything more about that.”

The Star Wars film set for release later this year — Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker — will wrap up the current trilogy, with the next scheduled for 2022, 2024, and 2026.

David and Dan’s instalment is due on 16 December, 2022.

“David and Dan are some of the best storytellers working today,” said Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy in a statement. “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.”

This trilogy is supposed to be separate from the original saga and also from another trilogy that will be helmed by Star Wars: The Last Jedi writer-director Rian Johnson.

“In the summer of 1977 we traveled to a galaxy far, far away, and we’ve been dreaming of it ever since.” said Benioff and Weiss 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.”

Obviously, Disney is looking to expand the world of Star Wars even further. The ninth film of the Skywalker saga should begin with the production soon, while the second movie in Anthology series titled Solo: A Star Wars Story is set for release in May 2018.

Also, there are plans for yet untitled third Anthology film which should be released at some point in 2020. Although Disney is yet to confirm the plot details for this movie, it is rumored that it will focus on bounty hunter Boba Fett. Besides all the confirmed movies, there are also rumors that the studio is considering other spinoffs including the ones about Obi-Wan Kenobi and Jabba the Hutt.
