Fans rejoiced when it was announced that Game of Thrones showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss were going to be helming their own Star Wars trilogy. Then everyone saw the final season of the HBO hit and that excitement quickly curdled. In what felt like the blink of an eye the pair were suddenly in the middle of a PR nightmare, with their formerly loyal fans turning on them as they were accused of ruining the show they'd helmed. All this meant it wasn't a huge surprise when they were unceremoniously booted off their planned Star Wars trilogy earlier this week.
