Back when it first aired it was amazing, people went wild for it, and with reason: it's really that good. For the first 5 seasons. Season 6&7 become mixed bags because the writers tan out of original source materials and they sucked at writing themselves, and at season 8 theyr recieved a mouthwatering contract for star wars and just wanted to get rid of GoT, even though HBO wanted multiple seasons more.

So, they just write and produces a 6 episode piece of shit that was scandalously bad. Production was bad, writing was just amazingly bad.

Watch the first seven seasons, they're worth it!

If they worked on a star wars movie I'm not convinced season 8 suffered from them "rushing it" or putting anything less than every last drop of their souls into the writing.

The rest of the comment is dead on.

They did not.

S8 was such a complete pile of shit that they lost the deal.

I guess yeah the only reason i felt like season 8 was a better production than Disney star wars was because of the previous 6-7 seasons building such a firm foundation. That's a beautiful insult to them that their writing was seen as worse than the gold standard of slop at the time.
