The upcomingA Knight of the Seven Kingdomswill fill in the gap left by the anticlimactic end ofHouse of the DragonSeason 2, with HBO continuously feeding fans with excitement following the rumors of several plannedGame of Thronesspinoffs. One major part of Westeros’ history that isn’t getting enough hype isRobert’s Rebellion, and it’s baffling to think why it’s constantly being ignored.
This period is perhaps the closest to the events we’ve seen in the original show. It has familiar characters such as Ned Stark, Robert Baratheon, Jaime Lannister, Lyanna Stark and Rhaegar Targaryen, so what’s stopping the studio and George R.R. Martin from bringing this story to the screen?
George R.R. Martin may still change his mind and doRobert’s Rebellion
We can recallGeorge R.R. Martin’s disinterest in adaptingRobert’s Rebellionas a series for the reason that we’d have already learned everything we needed to know once he’s done withA Song of Ice and Fire. He wrote onNot a Blog, his personal site: “We’re not doing Robert’s Rebellion either. I know thousands of you want that, I know there’s a petition…”
George R.R. Martin Used the Most Exploited Trope in Fantasy for a Major Game of Thrones Character Who Was Hard to Love
He thought about it ending up as a twice-told tale since there would be no surprises or revelations anymore. It’s such a shame because more than the plot itself, it has everything fans loved aboutGame of Thrones– political wars, forbidden romance, and dramatic twists with shocking deaths.
There are a lot of people out there who wish to see this happen, just as many as those who hoped forTales of Dunk & Eggto get its own show. In the same blog entry, the author also declined the idea of adaptingDunk & Eggto the screen until he’s finished with the rest of the stories. He fears that it is going to be another case of a show getting ahead of its source material.
We’re not doing Dunk & Egg. Eventually, sure, I’d love that, and so would many of you. But I’ve only written and published three novellas to date, and there are at least seven or eight or ten more I want to write.
He hasn’t published a new novella until now, and yetwe’re getting the show this year. Martin obviously thought hard and changed his mind, and this is also possible forRobert’s Rebellion.
Robert’s Rebellionis the perfect story for the upcomingGame of Thronesfilm
With the announcement of an upcomingGame of Thronesmovie,Robert’s Rebelliontale could be a great subject. It has a direct connection to both the original series andHouse of the Dragon, as the War of the Usurper, as what Targaryen supporters call it, witnessed the ruling of the Targaryen dynasty get overthrown by House Baratheon.
“That’s not a story I want to tell”: The Best Game of Thrones Movie Idea Is the One George R.R. Martin Has No Interest to Explore
This may not be a priority for Martin and HBO, but there is hope that we’ll get an adaption one way or another, even if it would take years. This is too significant for the history of Westeros not to even get a limited show.
Game of Thronesis currently available to watch on HBO.
