Dave Filoni: Last News

“Star Wars” animation is always pointed to by diehard fans as some of the best storytelling the franchise has ever seen. And while “The Bad Batch” isn’t discussed as top-tier (at least from what has been told to me by big fans), it’s still probably better than a lot of what is happening in live-action.

Well, Han Solo and Princess Leia had a jedi child in Ben Solo aka Kylo Ren, so what about Daisy Ridley‘s Rey Skywalker?

Diego Ramos Bechara editor Lucasfilm chief creative officer Dave Filoni will receive the George Pal Memorial Award at the Saturn Awards, which will return for its 51st year on Feb. 4.

The surprise announcement this week of “The Mandalorian & Grogu” raised a ton of questions about the galaxy of Lucasfilm.

Disney+ has confirmed its Mandalorian spin-off, Ahsoka, will return for a second season. Set after the fall of the Empire, it stars Rosario Dawson as former Jedi Knight Ahsoka Tano.

Jaden Thompson “Ahsoka” Season 2 is in development with creator Dave Filoni, Lucasfilm has confirmed. The news came with the reveal of the new “Star Wars” film “The Mandalorian & Grogu,” directed by Jon Favreau, which was unveiled Tuesday morning.

We’re only 9 days into the new year and Disney+ has already announced a cancellation, and a renewal (kind of!)

Rebecca Rubin Film and Media Reporter Baby Yoda is headed to the big screen. Jon Favreau is directing a new “Star Wars” movie, titled “The Mandalorian & Grogu.” It will go into production later this year.

Well, the world of Lucasfilm just got a lot clearer. “The Mandalorian” season four? Nope, as we just reported, instead, Jon Favreau will be directing a movie tentatively titled, for now, “The Mandalorian and Grogu.” That’s a surprise movie because previously, we only knew of three movies in the works: one from Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy (‘The Jedi Order’ film with Rey), one from James Mangold (the ‘Dawn Of the Jedi’ about the origins of the Jedi, and one from Dave Filoni (presumed to be “Heir To The Empire” which will be the finale of all the Disney+ stories with the Mandalorian on the big screen).

Well, you gotta imagine, like the guy who did Deepfake Of Luke Skywalker and did it better than Lucasfilm (and then got hired for a job), the creator of this new “Star Wars” animated video is likely getting a call from Lucasfilm Animation and or Dave Filoni himself. So the aptly titled Star Wars YouTube channel Hello There has created a very inventive adaptation.

During this year’s Star Wars Celebration, Lucasfilm finally gave some definitive news about what to expect on the big screen with the galaxy far, far away. We have a movie from Dave Filoni, which is expected to be an “Avengers”-style convergence of all the live-action TV shows.

Following the “Star Wars: Ahsoka” series created by writer/director/producer Dave Filoni, who wrote all eight episodes himself and directed two, Lucasfilm has named the filmmaker the Chief Creative Officer at the company. “Now I’m what’s called chief creative officer of Lucasfilm,” Filoni told Vanity Fair this week, and noting the role will place him in the early development process of all “Star Wars” projects and in a much more expansive capacity than his previous advisory duties.

Disney+ Star Wars series architect Dave Filoni has been named Chief Creative Officer of Lucasfilm.

No one knows when Taika Waititi‘s “Star Wars” movie will come out, but it’s still in the Lucasfilm pipeline. And outside of being in development, the only thing known about it is that it’ll come after Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, Dave Filoni, and James Mangold‘s upcoming films hit theaters first.

As you’re probably aware, “Star Wars” and Lucasfilm are at an inflection point. Having pivoted towards streaming for several years, “The Mandalorian,” etc., “Star Wars” Celebration earlier this year indicated that the new future would return to cinemas, announcing three “Star Wars” movies by Dave Filoni, one formerly from Damon Lindelof that will include Daisy Ridley’s Rey Skywalker, and a prequel set in ancient Jedi times from filmmaker James Mangold.

Spoilers for the “Ahsoka” finale, “The Jedi, the Witch, and the Warlord,” are contained in this post. “Ashoka,” the “Star Wars” spin-off series starring Rosario Dawson, concluded last week on Disney+, and boy, I’m still grappling with just how frustrating, colossally disappointing, and underwhelming a whimper it all was.

Shawna Trpcic, an Emmy-nominated costume designer best known for her work on several Star Wars series on Disney+ and her collaborations with Joss Whedon has died, Lucasfilm announced Friday. She was 56. A cause of death was not provided but Trpcic’s passing appears sudden; as recently as three days ago she was chronicling a desert trip on Instagram.
