I think that the reason that the last couple of GOT episodes kinda sucked is because they don’t care about that product anymore: they got the contract with evil Disney and just want to finish things up so they can start collecting the big Star Wars bucks.
Disney will care if GoT fans get po’d and take it out on Disney’s hide.
Star Wars died with the release of the Ewoks. Since then, there has been a competition of what level of vile suck the world will tolerate before they finally walk away. The drek increases exponentionally with each movie, and few seem to notice
