Untitled Star Wars film series

"In the summer of 1977 we traveled to a galaxy, far, far away, and we've been dreaming of it ever since. We are honored by the opportunity, a little terrified by the responsibility, and so excited to get started as soon as the final season of Game of Thrones is complete."

- David Benioff and D.B. Weiss' joint statement

Weiss, the creators and showrunners of HBO's Game of Thrones, are set to write and produce the film series. The film series was announced by Lucasfilm on February 6, 2018 on StarWars.com.
