Game Of Thrones Creators On Star Wars: ‘We’re Not Quite Hated Enough Already By People We Don’t Know’

If recent rumors hold true, it’s very possible that, within the next several months, Game of Thrones creators David Benioff and Dan Weiss will be on the set of the next Star Wars movie. Some time ago, Lucasfilm announced that the duo would be working on a series of movies, and it was later confirmed to be a trilogy. However, to say that the current state of Star Wars fandom is divided would be a bit of an understatement.

In a recent piece on the site, I made it perfectly clear that, even among the staff here at LRM Online, there were few who held the same opinion about the franchise as a whole and the recent few movies under Disney’s watch. It’s basically turned out that if you’re involved in movies and you align yourself with Star Wars, chances are someone in fandom is going to hate you. Luckily for us, this is exactly what the Game of Thrones showrunners are expecting.

“We feel we’re not quite hated enough already by people we don’t know,” Weiss said to EW, joking about any potential backlash.

“Our Captain Phasma origin story is going to blow people away,” Benioff added.

“It’s going to be Gwen’s monologue in the suit…” Weiss said. “The slowest [camera] push-in in movie history into her mask…”

Boom. Ticket sold. The Phasma trilogy will work wonders to make her too-little screentime in the current trilogy that much more memorable…or not. Obviously, the pair are joking about this. In reality, we expect their film to take place in a completely different timeline from all the typical Star Wars events we’ve grown used to seeing on the big screen, but the details are being kept a big fat secret.

“They’ve given us a lot of hints about how to lock things down, things we never would have thought of or didn’t know were possible,” Weiss said, referring to the Star Wars team.
