Petition Seeks to Keep Game of Thrones Writers Away From Star Wars

On May 14th, Disney confirmed that the next Star Wars movie — set to release in 2022 — will come from DB Weiss and David Benioff, creators of HBO’s Game of Thrones. Disney didn’t choose the best timing to make the announcement as it came amidst backlash over the controversial penultimate episode of Game of Thrones. Fans on social media voiced their wariness over Weiss and Benioff taking over the reins of Star Wars for what is presumed to be a trilogy of successive films.
