Let us explain…

In August, Game of Thrones creators, David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, signed an overall deal with Netflix. 

The agreement, which is reportedly worth a 9-digit figure, will allow the pair to write, produce, and direct both series and films. 

But, as exciting as that deal was, it has now apparently forced D&D to pull out of another exciting project — Star Wars.

Benioff and Weiss had been hired to create the new trilogy in the franchise that would succeed The Skywalker Saga that wraps up this year. 

“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,” the duo said in a statement. “There are only so many hours in the day, and we felt we could not do justice to both Star Wars and our Netflix projects. So we are regretfully stepping away.”

Time will tell whether this setback will postpone the new Star Wars trilogy which was set to commence in 2022.

Over 56,000 angry viewers have signed a petition on change.org, calling for HBO to remake season 8 with different writers.

Dylan D., the creator of the petition says, “David Benioff and D.B. Weiss have proven themselves to be woefully incompetent writers when they have no source material (i.e. the books) to fall back on. This series deserves a final season that makes sense. Subvert my expectations and make it happen, HBO!”

So far, Dylan appears to have a lot of support for the matter, which is unsurprising as each episode this season has brought an onslaught of memes slamming the show’s laziness.

Fed-up fans feel that they deserve better after investing seven years into watching the show.

Aside from the nonsensical plot of this final season, which has deviated substantially from the past 7 seasons of character development and quality of writing, obvious blunders like the Starbucks cup that appeared in episode 4, and promos featuring Jamie Lannister’s right hand mysteriously regenerating, only further underline fans’ position that Weiss and Benioff have been phoning in the production quality of the show.

Only time will tell if HBO will step up to the plate and right their accused wrongs.

And Emilia Clarke is definitely one of them.

The 31-year-old may play the breaker of chains and mother of dragons on Game of Thrones, but during her audition for the show, the English actress was asked to dance.

The audition took place in the dimly-lit corporate theatre at the HBO headquarters and included show creators, David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, as well as the president of HBO.

“We were smiling. He wasn’t. It was quite possibly the least inviting audition environment we had ever witnessed,” Weiss said while presenting Emilia with the Britannia Awards for British Artist of the Year on Friday night at the British Academy Britannia Awards at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.

“Emilia asked if there was anything else she could do to lighten the mood and David asked, ‘Can you dance?’ And without missing a beat, Emilia did the robot,” said Weiss. “She did it with commitment and she did it well… and even the president had no choice but to smile. She got the job 10 seconds after she left the room and the two of us ran to tell her before she left the building because letting her get on an 11-hour flight home without knowing seemed like cruel and unusual punishment.”

It all paid off in the end!
