George Lucas is the Maker of Star Wars, lord and master of the franchise, even after selling the saga (and Lucasfilm) to Disney. If we had to highlight the second in command, it is undoubtedly Dave Filoni.
He is the creator of The Mandalorian, The Clone Wars and showrunner for Ahsoka, and is currently the creative director of Star Wars at Lucasfilm.
As one of the authorized voices in the franchise, Filoni does not hesitate to explore the idea of making an ”R” (not recommended for children under 18) Star Wars movie or TV series. Until now, the high point is the PG-13 ratingachieved by Revenge of the Sith.
At a 2017 ComicCon meeting, Dave Filoni talked about one of his favorite themes, which is not related to Star Wars. However, he was able to flirt with her at certain times.
To the creative director of Star Wars he loves wolves. Consider that They are fascinating animals, who wander between good and evil.which makes them key elements for a saga like Star Wars.
That’s why Dave Filoni has included references to wolves in almost all of its franchise productsfrom the animated series The Clone Wars until the series of Ahsoka.
George Lucas did not understand his obsession
Always in a joking way, Dave Filoni had his ups and downs with George Lucas. While they were working on Star Wars: The Clone Warsthe creator of the saga kept reminding Filoni of his obsession with wolves.
Even, on more than one occasion, Filoni admits that George made fun of himreminding him that he had to introduce wolves into practically every scene in the series.
”George and I used to talk about it during Clone Wars, and he made fun of me a little”, Filoni acknowledges with a laugh.
Dave Filoni’s obsession is due to the movie Wolves Don’t Cry (1983)that marked his childhood and youth. He also discovered the fascinating animal world, another of his great passions.
”They have this duality towards humanity and a representation that to me is very similar to the Force. The Force has a dark side and a light side. These animals have stories that seem to have a dark side and a light side”.
Filoni believes that wolves fit very well into the Star Wars saga, since are they loved or hated, depending on each case. Director of Ahsoka he thinks that It is a faithful representation of the Force, which can turn you into a Jedi (good) or a Sith (bad).…or even a middle point between the two.
Did you know this Dave Filoni’s obsession with wolves? The creative director of Star Wars continues working on season two of Ahsokaand could even direct two films in the franchise in the future.
