    Given that they won't have books to copy the plot from, I'm quite confident that these SW films will suck from the outset.

    Does Star Wars require high-quality writing?
    It's not really ever been great in that department.

    The last season of GoT had some great stuff in it, but it also has the most obvious issues with pacing & continuity.
    Although that may have been more to do with the fact they cut down the number of episodes & so had to resolve plot points faster.

    Roald Dahl wrote James Bond movies. People can adapt from one franchise to another, believe me I can tell.

    So, are the A Star Wars Story films being shooed away, or are D&B taking over those now? If so, are they going to MCU style separate movies coming together down the road? Why do all the alternatives sound terrible?

    When asked whether they were putting out too many hours of Star Wars Disney executives responded "Choke on 'em."

    Hopefully we finally get to see Lucas' shelved TV show (the one there are apparently 100 hours of scripts for) get made at some point.

    When has any show ever had one hundred hours of scripts written in advance?

    He's right, Richie. GoT has been terrible for a long time. Years.

    Look at the Battle of Winterfell & last season's Dothraki Vs Lannisters. There are few better choreographed & well filmed sequences in movies let alone on TV.
    Depending on which sources you believe.
    Ronald D Moore was involved & apparently said it was only about 50.

    With their time jump experience, if it isn't a film about the old republic, and the creation of hyperspace routes, I'll eat my hat.

    This is what passes for news these days. The films will be taking place at a specific time. I eagerly await the news about whether or not they'll be happening at some sort of place.
