So reading some new articles on CBR, it seems there was a combination effect for the GoT directors leaving SW. A problem with the directors being on a short leash in terms of creative control, which is also what happened with the original Solo directors, and the toxic fan base reaction to Last Jedi (triggering their PTSD from GoT).

Benioff and Weiss were slated to direct a new trilogy of Star Wars films as Skywalker Saga comes to an end with Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. However, they have recently backed out of the project due to scheduling conflicts with their Netflix projects. According to The Hollywood Reporter, potential worries over fan reactions in the wake of the final season of Game of Thrones may be to blame, with one source blaming "toxic fandom" found in the Star Wars franchise.
