Things are apparently a bit turbulent right now in a galaxy far, far away. Hot off the heels of a brand new trailer for The Mandalorian, Deadline dropped the news that David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, the showrunner duo who brought Game of Thrones to HBO, have exited their deal with Disney and Lucasfilm to create a Star Wars trilogy all their own. Until now, the first entry in Benioff and Weiss' three-movie saga was set to hit theaters in 2022. The pair released a statement: “We love Star Wars...When George Lucas built it, he built us …

Game of Thrones' eighth and final season ended with Bran Stark being named king of Westeros not necessarily because he deserved it or was the best person for that job but because he had the best stories, and even that was pretty debatable.

Game of Thrones has been a frequent fixture at the San Diego Comic-Con during its run despite the fact that they had no new footage to show and the debriefs were fairly rudimentary.

When it comes to feats of physical strength, there are a good number of famous human beings on this planet whom you should absolutely not challenge. If you're a member of the common folk, i.e. people who don't get paid to work out and stay in peak physical condition at all times, then you probably shouldn't challenge Usain Bolt to a foot race, Michael Phelps to a swim relay, or, apparently Jason Momoa to a game of Slap Hands.
