at Marvel, overseeing the creative direction of Marvel’s storytelling and content creation across mediums including publishing, film, TV and animation.in August that was met with envy and a bit of head-scratching, as their commitment towould have meant that their new content for Netflix may have taken a decade to come to fruition.

Landing Benioff and Weiss was considered a boon for Kennedy, who signed the creators to a trilogy back in February 2018 in the wake of a series of high-profile firings, including the June 2017 exit of Phil Lord and Chris Miller fromEpisode IXThe Rise of Skywalkerwill close out the Skywalker Saga, and Lucasfilm will pivot its focus to the small screen with a number of Disney+ streaming shows, including Jon Favreau'sprequel, as well as an Obi-Wan Kenobi series starring Ewan McGregor.

'quit'?

Thank you to them. I appreciate it. DavidBenioff and KathleenKennedy!!! 🙋

Maybe Lucas didn't give them notes

Narrator: It wasn’t.

They were incredible storytellers, until the source material ran out and they turned it formulaic. They ruined years of development for shock value, and I actually liked the last two seasons. It just wasn’t anywhere close to the source material.

Kathleen Kennedy needs to realize that years of carry George Lucas' clipboard didn't make her head coach material. Dozens of NFL assistants never make the transition, and based on the last two movies she can't either.

What a load of PR approved crap.

Hahaha because Star Wars hasn't been ruined enough

Who is replacing them?

🤣

So they rushed GOT last season just for them at the end of the day to quit Star Wars.

We’re bring back Rian Johnson . Noooooooooooo

Yay..!!!

bye

Yes !!!!

This happens when you deliberately screw the best series of all time. Karma is a bitch indeed.

Disney Wars will suck forever

Why couldn’t they have done this with Thrones before they ruined it 😩

Well, it kinda a good thing.

bye felicia

Sounds to me that they want to 'spend more time with their families.'

Bye

Buh bye

roundhoward 👋🏻 👋🏻

thank god

This spares us all sitting through two pretty good movies with some high notes but some odd decisions just to get to an inevitably flawed and widely criticized third installment.

yesssssssssssssssssssss

Who is replacing them?

Hold the D&D-oor.

Good

yeah you two shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a well-established franchise. ever. regretfully.

roundhoward G O O D

Lucas Films is in party mode, they got rid of D and D. Kennedy and Disney dodged a bullet MATRIX Style.

Sure they quit.

Good news. These sycophants need to do one. StarWars Benioff Weiss

Cool. They ruined GoT, now they won't ruin SW

The shitty writing of GoT S8 by DnD after the source material from GRRM were not available anymore.. And they call themselves WRITERS? Good God!! They need source material to copy it for their progress.. Creativity Zero. Writing Zero. Arrogance at full throttle. Rest at Home. Bye

DnD : The Duo Writers, Ruiner of GoT S8, StarWars Trilogy Rejectors. What GRAND they gonna be doing for netflix ?

yashar Good, byeeeee 👋🏼

They didn’t quit. You don’t sign a overall deal with Netflix that takes all your time when you already legally committed to a SW trilogy and knew how much time was needed. They lost SW + Netflix was plan b. Biggest thing they lost was us GoT fans - their shows will need viewers!

I wonder if this is because some people are comparing the ending of TheRiseOfSkywalker to the ending of GameOfThrones ?! 🤔

WinterCameFor D&D. Justice! GameOfThrones Was ruined for nothing!

They sacrificed GoT for that.

Actually i really hoped for them to adapt KOTOR and Revan story They're good with adaptations (when the story is already finished)

Disney finally watched the GOT finale.

so they made the ending of Game of Thrones shit for absolutely no reason then?

yashar They rushed the production of GOT to work on this project. Ruining the ending of GOT. Now they quit this ? Smh

They created NOTHING! Did nobody ever see the “adapted for television” credit at the start of each episode? These clowns couldn’t write a story if their lives depended on it and basically scammed HBO into giving them GOT. Good riddance, you hacks!

yashar There are going to be MORE star wars movies? Gosh I'm exhausted.

Thank God

MyNameIsAbdiel

Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

This calls for a celebration

Oh thank GOD! They really need guide rails after seeing what happened with GOT after they had nothing to guide them.

yashar One less thing they can f*ck up.

yashar GOOD. That's one franchise saved from D&D's 'most expensive film school' style of storytelling. ADragonDemands DJ_ILLIN_PAIN 🎉

lol i guess this thread got seen by some higher ups:

green_mick

THIS IS THE BEST NEWS I’VE HEARD ALL DAY!! GTFOH D&D!!!!!

yashar So they killed off Game of Thrones for absolutely nothing?

yashar GOOD! They don't deserve to ever work again. I can't believe what they did to GOT. I am still sick about how they fucked the story, the audience, and the actors. It was like they said 'lets make the ending suck just because...!'

yashar So they effed over GOT AND StarWars fans and still want to survive? Thank you next

Karma

yashar Phew! Only God knows how these two would have fucked this one up too.

yashar Omg. My friend is right! Feige is officially taking over Lucas. Kennedy will be out next.

Thank god

They decerve this, they ruined the last season of GoT to quickly work on SW... And now they won't be working on SW 🤣🤣🤣 if only they would have taken their time to end properly GoT.

The folks at Lucasfilm must’ve read their interview admitting to being unstudied, undeserving FRAUDS.

oh good, even more proof that there was NO deadline to “excuse” such a rushed & terrible final season of GameOfThrones

This article mentions rianjohnson’s trilogy. Why do people keep saying it was cancelled?

Now we need the Rian Johnson trilogy to be cancelled.

yashar

yashar Yesss thank god!!!

Bruh

they prefered to do a netflix movie instead of a SW trilogy? yeah SURE

So they ruined GOT to do a series they aren’t even doing anymore 🤦🏽‍♀️

Another choppy, rushed and uneven ending.

Can Disney leave Star Wars now ?

yashar

yashar Were they waiting for someone else to write it first

yashar

Dang, was looking forward to a gritty mature Star Wars and not a Disney fairy tale one

tbq_ Well, spared us from possibly another set of 3 movies that are basically just the first 3 movies all over again I guess.

These bums ruined GOT for this. Serves them right.

yashar Good Riddance! Season 8 GOT had great moments but episode 4 was the worst of all. Star Wars is better off without them.

yay fuck these 2

Disney just can’t manage the Star Wars franchise properly. Who would’ve thought...

yashar Amazing news

yashar Good riddance!

Lol well THIS explains the random Mandalorian trailer today. starwars was hoping to offset this bad news with something positive.

Whoa whoa, what happened to failing upwards?!

EricHaywood Im sure the last episode of GOT had NOTHING to do with it

yashar Such good news

yashar Also, we are hacks. And we don't want to be exposed, again, by not having rock solid source material.

yashar

yashar

so the next star wars trilogy won’t be a disaster

What a joke...

yashar

I just hope we get a Old Republic series of movies

Yassss

Justice!

I actually like their work. Happy to see them get off of star wars so they can do something else. Hopefully something less Disney.

Good.

Good
