'Game of Thrones' Creators to Produce New 'Star Wars' Film Series Disney announced on Thursday that David Benioff and D.B. Weiss will write and produce the new set of films. David and Dan are some of the best storytellers working today. Their command of complex characters, depth of story and richness of mythology will break new ground and boldly push Star Wars in ways I find incredibly exciting. 'Game of Thrones' is set to end in 2019, meaning the pair will have time to work on the new series in near future. 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.
