Game of Thrones producers David Benioff and D.B. Weiss said they cannot focus on both ‘Star Wars’ and Netflix projects -- so they picked Netflix.
Disney’s Lucasfilm said they are still hopeful to include the storytellers in future projects when their schedule permits a less busy time.
David Benioff & D.B. Weiss explain, "There are only so many hours in the day, and we felt we could not do justice to both ‘Star Wars’ and our Netflix projects ... so we are regretfully stepping away.”
