Now, years after his retirement, his protege Dave Filoni sits in the executive suite at Lucasfilm and has a hand in every STAR WARS tale being created. We analyze interview highlights of Filoni discussing the responsibility of moving The Saga forward without his mentor and the importance of maintaining the integrity of what Lucas established almost five decades ago. We’re midway through the first season of THE ACOLYTE and everybody has something to say about this new addition to the mythology. Plus, updates on Shawn Levy’s and Daisy Ridley’s upcoming STAR WARS films and more.
