The news that Game of Thrones creators David Benioff and Dan Weiss would helm a new series of Star Wars movies was met with … well, it was met. The HBO storytellers are equal-parts celebrated and condemned for their handling of Thrones’ more challenging material. We’ve picked five episodes that prove the pair are perfect for a galaxy far, far away – along with five that prove they should stay far, far away.

For this exercise we’ve chosen to look at Game of Thrones episodes the pair directly wrote (before you ask, the infamous “Unbent, Unbowed, Unbroken” was Bryan Cogman’s), seeing as the Star Wars announcement similarly describes them writing and producing the new films. Should we expect space-incest? Space-castration? Knowing nothing about space, Jon Sky? Below are the five great Thrones episodes that give us the most hope for D&D’s Star Wars.

But it's not all good news; check out the five GoT episodes that have us worried about the controversial showrunners' tackling Star Wars.
