This week, Lucasfilm announced that Game of Thrones television series creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss will write and produce a new series of Star Wars films. This news has split fans down the middle, as some feel these two have the chops to handle a sprawling universe like Star Wars, while others feel that seeing two white men taking over the series isn't the progress they were hoping for, especially in light of some of the content of Game of Thrones and how it treats women. We break down the announcement, what we'd like to see this new series be about, and what direction the Star Wars films are going down.

A classic example is Spider-Man being reverted back to a broke bachelor after One More Day. The Pals share their feelings about the controversial subject.
