Price/Getty Images for SXSW) Last month, a quartet of Game of Thrones heavyweights — showrunners David Benioff and Dan Weiss together with actors Maisie Williams (Arya) and Sophie Turner (Sansa) — visited the South by Southwest festival in Austin, TX to talk about the show. We reported on everything that went down, from the discussions of what’s coming in seasons 7 and 8 to the casting process to the funny behind-the-scenes shenanigans. Now, JasonJyeah has uploaded a video of the panel to YouTube. The panel is nominally a question-and-answer session, with Williams and Turner asking the questions and Benioff and Weiss answering them.

In this dread hour a warrior shall draw from the fire a burning sword. And that sword shall be Lightbringer , the Red Sword of Heroes, and he who clasps it shall be Azor Ahai come again, and the darkness shall flee before him.
