David Benioff and D.B. Weiss still seem pretty upset about their Star Wars exit

The 3 Body Problem creators seem far more willing to discuss Game Of Thrones backlash than their canceled trilogy

By the time they reached the eighth and final season, David Benioff and D.B. Weiss seemed, well, more than a little burnt out on their landmark HBO show, Game Of Thrones. But while they clearly took the ensuing criticism to heart , they never even got to start their planned Star Wars trilogy, which was canceled by Lucasfilm in 2019. In a recent appearance on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, this exit seemed to plague the showrunners far more than any of their previous controversies.

While they didn’t get into it here, Benioff previously revealed to The Hollywood Reporter that they were planning a film called The First Jedi, which was “basically how the Jedi Order came to be, why it came to be, the first lightsaber, .” but the studio “ultimately they decided they didn’t want to do that.” The thing is, it seems like they actually kind of did... just not with this particular team.
