When Lucasfilm dropped news this week about the next phase in their Star Wars film development, they did it with a double dose of information that was equal parts cherry flavoring and that weird aftertaste you get once you’ve taken the medicine. On the one hand, we got the announcement of a new series of Star Wars films which, to Star Wars fans, is generally great news. On the other, the films are being written and produced by Game of Thrones power couple David Benioff and D.B. Weiss.
I have concerns.
Let me preface this by saying that I’m all for more Star Wars films and I love Game of Thrones. The Davids are obviously skilled writers and producers with a multiplicity of awards to their names and they’ve certainly helped HBO raise their profile when it comes to genre fare with their work on Game of Thrones.
