Huh. I recently finished Season 8 of GoT. I actually loved it, except for episode 3, which was too dark for me to even see wtf was going on. So honestly, I'm completely fine with the GoT writers going into Star Wars.

The GoT guys are a perfect fit for Disney SW. Great stuff.

The best seasons of Game of Thrones were the ones where they were taking the George RR Martin Books and adapting them. That isn't meant as an insult.

Take a movie like Raiders of the Lost Ark. It was a perfect storm of people doing what they're good at. Lucas came up with the concept and Kasdan helped write it. Then Spielberg directed it and Ford brought the character to life.

Hopefully Benioff and Weiss are taking some material and adapting it to the screen, because that's what they seem best at. Not everyone can do it well.

Lucas and Philip Kaufman came up with the concept. Lucas came up with the story.

Right...so why are the GOT writers considered so good or whatever? The entire series and it’s popularity starts and ends with George Martin. Just like LOTR and it’s awesomeness is 100% because of Tolkien. I dunno, at least they can’t mess anything up regarding the Skywalker characters and storyline. They are on their own and only can go forward. Maybe they’ll pull it off? I hope so, I guess.

I agree that it does take a team of people to make everything come together as well as it did for the original Star Wars films and other classics. IMO, Episode 9 has a lot of bearing on how things go forward. If it’s really good and sets up the characters right, that’ll help kick things off the right way.

It takes a good writer to make a good adaptation, and the way they distilled Martin's books into something fresh, streamlined, but just as effective in those first 4 seasons was pretty brilliant. I think the last couple of seasons were so messy because they set an end goal for the story and had to shoehorn everything into a shortened timetable to get there, rather than letting the characters grow organically as they had in the early seasons, sometimes making strong and wise deviations from the source material. But Martin told them an ending and I guess they felt obligated to get there, whether it fit well with the show they had been making or not.

I didn't hate the ending, but I could also see how the story could have grown to that place with much more satisfaction if they had allowed it more time.

THR

Sources say the Thrones pair is writing a treatment for a Star Wars trilogy and is committed to penning at least one of the films (the original deal was to write all three). It's unclear if the duo, who also have another feature for Fox/Disney carved out, will do more than just write for Star Wars.

How do start one of these petitions?

I want a petition to stop people making petitions.

EDIT: Wasn't there a petition claiming Joss Whedon/Marvel were anti-orphans (or something) because of that Thor joke in Avengers Assemble about Loki being adopted? Nobody is ever going best that so this Game of Thrones one doesn't even qualify to be called lame.

But what if someone makes a petition to stop people from making petitions to stop people making petitions? Where does it end???

[Rodney-2187]

After all of the absolutely horrible sounding things I've read some fans DO want, I'm very happy with what we've got so far.
