There’s something about Filoni’s Star Wars sensibility that rubs me the wrong way. Having watched Rebels, it feels remarkably sterile, existing in this purgatory between epic adventure and serialized drama.
True but i would take it over holdo not telling plans to the Resistance and starting a goddamn mutiny.
What?
How is Kathleen Kennedy responsible for that occurrence in TLJ (did she write/come up with the plot and script?, and wasn’t it proved that Holdo’s assertion was correct?)
As for Filoni taking over the creative team… for me, no. It seems he and others do a ‘top job’ with various input into the series and films.
(notably history and lore etc - using other creatives’ work in both Legends / Canon and then retconning or rewriting that work into his own projects - without giving the original creative’s any credit! So much for the ‘one consistent narrative’ and ‘creatively aligned program of Star Wars storytelling’ ideas of nu-canon!)
Maybe he has earnt a chance at a film? That could likely be the next step - if not working on a live action tv series, first?
2023 Edit: Caston & Emre have compiled a couple of informative posts on Dave Filoni’s incorrect claims on canon, and also his re-writing & retconning of other creatives’ projects in both Legends and Canon for use in his own various projects, in The 2008 Clone Wars messes up continuity thread.
All without giving the original creatives any credit - or even links to their original work.
The two ‘info posts’ linked above also covers Filoni’s re-writing and retconning other creatives’ work into his own projects also completely ignores the idea and reasoning given as to why Canon and Legends was introduced by Lucasfilm in 2014.
