Let’s all give a nod of respect to the Game of Thrones cast members who showed up for this year’s San Diego Comic-Con on the heels of a very divisive final season.
Executive producers David Benioff and D.B. Weiss were originally meant to appear on the panel — which was a pretty surprising late addition to this year’s SDCC lineup — before conspicuously backing out of it just days before the event.
Amidst the sea of Thrones-themed cosplayers on hand, one notable pair included a fully garbed Night King facing off against a Daenerys Targaryen, who was stabbing him in the gut with a sword that read “STAR WARS” on the blade. The co-EPs are, of course, currently working on a Star Wars movie, and some have speculated that the final season of GoT was rushed because the two men were preoccupied with their Disney commitments. (None of which can ever be confirmed.)
Given how polarizing the final episodes were, it makes sense that Benioff and Weiss wouldn’t want to go before a proverbial firing squad in Hall H, but that left stars Isaac Hempstead-Wright, Conleth Hill, John Bradley, Maisie Williams, Jacob Anderson, Liam Cunningham, and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau to put on a good face for Thrones final farewell to Comic-Con audiences.
