10 Cancelled Star Wars Projects That Were Devastating

10. David Benioff And Dan Wiess' Trilogy

Despite not being officially cancelled, it is very unlikely David Benioff and Dan Weiss will direct their Star Wars trilogy. The pair, who wrote Game of Thrones, were set to helm their own set of films in the space opera, which were due to release in 2022, 2024 and 2026.

However, once Benioff and Weiss signed a $200 million deal with Netflix in 2019, the pair had to walk away from the project. In a statement made to Deadline, the duo said: "We love Star Wars. When George Lucas built it, he built us too. Getting to talk about Star Wars with him and the current Star Wars team was the thrill of a lifetime, and we will always be indebted to the saga that changed everything.”

Once the pair made their statement, Lucasfilm president, Kathleen Kennedy, was quick to say: "David Benioff and Dan Weiss are incredible storytellers. We hope to include them in the journey forward when they are able to step away from their busy schedule to focus on Star Wars."

Now that Disney is struggling to produce Star Wars films, with the likes of Rian Johnson's trilogy and Patty Jenkins' Rogue Squadron being indefinitely delayed, as well as the backlash to the final season of Game of Thrones, the Benioff-Weiss films will probably never be made.
