:0:0

Kathleen Kennedy looks back at Dave Filoni's Star Wars journey and how it has led to him directing the upcoming The Mandalorian event movie. Filoni began his Star Wars journey with the animated Clone Wars movie and series, working directly with George Lucas and learning about Star Wars from the creator himself. Over time, Filoni has become one of the architects of Star Wars television, with both animation and live-action.
Screen Rant caught up with Kennedy after the Ahsoka panel at Star Wars Celebration. Kennedy compared Filoni's start to being a Padawan with Lucas as his Jedi Master and how he has evolved with the characters he has had a hand in creating. She discussed his work in animation and how he has learned and grown as a storyteller over the years. Check out Kennedy's full quote about Filoni below:

Kathleen Kennedy: This has been such a journey for Dave Filoni. To start out, really, as the Padawan to the master George Lucas, and to have this evolve now into what will eventually be an event movie, and to have him be the director that is a dream come true. And he has worked so hard in everything that he's done; the animation has been fantastic.
And now evolving, going into Mandalorian, and Ahsoka? Seeing these characters actually come to life, the great thing is that Dave gets to learn along the way and see these characters evolving in real time with him continuing that iteration. So, he's gonna do something great; that I know.

Dave Filoni's Star Wars Journey From Padawan To Jedi Master

Filoni has become one of the most important voices in Star Wars, and as Lucas' protégé, he has grown into an expert on Star Wars canon. The stories he began with Lucas in Clone Wars continue to grow through Star Wars: Rebels, The Mandalorian, and Ahsoka. Filoni's expertise as a director has grown as well, beginning in animation before making the jump to live-action television with Jon Favreau, and finally with his upcoming movie, which will be the culmination of the New Republic era series he and Favreau are helming.
