Putting the Game of Thrones writers (David Benioff and D.B. Weiss) in charge of Star Wars is not only a  controversial decision but a mistake, plain and simple.
This whole season of the HBO show, which wraps up next week, has tested fans with unpopular, illogical, immersion breaking plot twists and character developments.
Seeing how these writers handled the most popular TV Show of a generation and seeing how the fans are reacting to it should not be rewarded with giving them the most popular movie franchise in the world! 

It is in the company’s best interest to remove David Benioff and D.B. Weiss as writers on their upcoming film. The writers have a crutch for plot devices and rushed stories, with emphasis on “shock and awe” storytelling and eager to leave projects half-finished when they have other projects on the horizon.
Their respect of lore alone does not make them fit for this project

There are plenty of talented writers and producers loyal to the franchise that would make much better work in the Star Wars Universe.

Subvert our expectations, Disney!
