The creators of 'Game of Thrones' are going to make a new 'Star Wars' movie series

The guys who brought "Game of Thrones" to the small screen are now heading to the big screen with "Star Wars."

That's right.

Lucasfilm announced on Tuesday that David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, the creators behind the TV series adaptation of "Game of Thrones" for HBO, will write and produce a new series of "Star Wars" movies.

It's unknown how many titles they will do, or when filming will begin, but Lucasfilm made a point to include in its release that what Benioff and Weiss will create will be separate from the current Skywalker saga, and the trilogy of movies "The Last Jedi" director Rian Johnson is developing.

"Game of Thrones" is currently filming its final season, and the show has won 38 Primetime Emmys to date.
