Ahsoka Creator gets a major promotion

It looks like there will be a second season of Ahsoka from its creator, Dave Filoni, I just received a big promotion. Filoni is now the creative director of Lucasfilm, which means he will play a much bigger role in the direction Star Wars the stories take place in the future.

“In the pastin lots of projects I would be involved, I would see it After he had already developed good routes,” Filoni said Vanity Fair, who announced the news. “In this new role, we are open to virtually anything that happens. When we are planning the future of what we are currently doing, I am involved from the start-up phase.

That includes, yes, Filoni’s own film which will be set in the world he and Jon Favreau created. Disney+ (The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, Ahsoka, etc.) as well as the upcoming film Rey from director Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy and the film Origin of the Force from James Mangold. “I don’t tell people what to do,” Filoni says. “But I feel like I’m trying to help them tell the best story that they want to tell. I must be of great help across the galaxy here, as if I were part of a Jedi Council.

Will this Council recommend a second season of Ahsoka? It’s not clear, but it’s likely. “To really help filmmakers, it was very important for me to experience it firsthand,” says Filoni. “I can also give my perspective on the challenges that telling these stories will present. I feel more able to be helpful outside of just saying, “Well, Jedi are like that, and Sith are like that…”

Fans of Filoni’s shows, which also include Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Star Wars Rebels, And Resistance to Star Wars Also, I have reasons to celebrate today. But people who might not be fans – well, they might have the opposite reaction.

We will have more people Star Wars Soon. For now, you can read more about it at Vanity fair.
