Status: Confirmed

When you've created the biggest TV show of the decade, there are going to be a lot of eyes on what you choose to do next. It just so happens that Game of Thrones showrunners Dan Weiss and David Benioff are choosing to do a trilogy within the biggest movie franchise ever.

Since they've been busy with Season 8, not a lot is known about what they'll be doing, although unlike with Rian Johnson's trilogy there's a possibility of this being an adaptation of something that already exists. The obvious assumption there is an Old Republic story, which they'd be a perfect fit for (particularly if they bring in Miguel Sapochnik to direct).

They're great at building upon existing works and mixing stunning spectacle with great character moments, and if they can bring that to Star Wars, then this will be something really great.
