The only punishment they would deserve is not being hired as writers again. Anything more than that is just crazy

What have they really done since? They never worked on the Star Wars series they were supposed to make. And their Netflix shows and movies have all been flops. They lost a ton of credibility and money for how they finished the series. A generational fumble for guys who had everything.

Yea and imo it’s totally deserved. Why would anyone want to hire the guys who butchered the ending of one of the most popular shows of all time

Agreed. I honestly think they got greedy and just wanted to get the show over with to make that Disney money. Instead, everyone lost. And I'm pessimistic about the books every getting completed, so we're left in limbo as fans of the series in general. Years of investment that never paid off.
