Dave Filoni

I have an amazing education through my wife on female fans and perspectives on it. Things that I never would have thought of. ”

Lucasfilm called me out of the blue, and I almost hung up because I thought it was a practical joke. This was right before 'Revenge Of The Sith' came out. Here you are, a big 'Star Wars' fan, talking about 'Star Wars' all the time, and you have your master replica lightsaber, and then you get a call from Lucasfilm for a job? ”

The look of 'Rebels' is based much more on the classic 'Star Wars' trilogy, where the 'The Clone Wars' was a prequel era series. ”

The Clone Wars' is certainly set in the darkest possible time throughout the whole 'Star Wars' story. ”

I've worked hard, for sure, but like anything, it takes a lot of luck and being in the right place at the right time, and then making the most of the opportunity. ”

I've been very fortunate in animation - when I get on a project, people tend to keep me, so I have long stays of work rather than bouncing around. ”

All animation is a tremendous amount of work, but when you put 'Star Wars' on the top of something, there's already this bar that people are going to put on it. ”

As the director, to have the opportunity to work with actors of the calibre of David Oyelewo is just fantastic and special. ”

Just getting to meet George Lucas was pretty amazing, and then working with him and getting to be part of this process... it's a great responsibility. ”
