Game of Thrones showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss are not keen on returning to the world of Star Wars after their previous pitch was scrapped. The duo are busy with their latest Netflix sci-fi series 3 Body Problem, which they co-created with True Blood’s Alexander Woo, and are clear that that’s where their priorities lie at the moment.
As Benioff tells the Inside Total Film podcast and GamesRadar+, they like the independence of telling new stories. "No, I don't think so," he replies when asked if they’d consider working on Star Wars in the future. "I think you know, when you've got a franchise that's already so well established, like Star Wars or James Bond or so forth, I think there's less independence when you come in to try to tell a story that you want to tell and so I think what Dan [Weiss] and I have learned is that it's more fun for us to start something afresh."
