More reasons why Dave Filoni should be in charge of the creative future for Star Wars

If y’all haven’t been watching the Disney gallery series on the mandalorian, you should. At the end of episode 2, Filoni gives a Ted talk on the archetypal themes in Star Wars that stretch across Anakin’s journey and those that surround him to show the thought and purpose for the everything from dialogue choices to lightsaber duals.The whole time he is beaming with a love for the story and a respect and comprehension of George’s vision to the point where his own themes and motifs he presents in clone wars, rebels, and the mandalorian line up excellently and compliment the main theme of family and sacrifice for the ones you love that George established.In clone wars, the family bond is Anakin, Ashoka, Rex, obi-wan and others outside of that core group. And the destruction and undermining of those bonds by the end of the series packs so much emotional weight because of the sacrifices and love this group had shown to each other for so long. In rebels the crew of the ghost regularly places their family above the individual and sacrifices even their lives for their loved ones, just like Vader did for Luke or Luke did for Vader in dropping his weapon because he had hope for the good in him. In the mandalorian, the bonds of the main group are firmly established and the sacrifices of IG-11 and Kuiil speak for themselves.I say all this to point at that during Filoni’s description of Star wars’ basic premises, the sequals never came up. They didn’t because they don’t fit with the rest of the films and Filoni knows it. He knows it, because he’s already made stories that fit in with the core theme of family and hope. His whole spiel at the end of the Legacy episode proves how much he understands this series, alongside Favreau and the other directors around the table and it shows what a mistake it is to hand over the creative reigns of Star Wars into someone who doesn’t understand the core archetypes and themes enveloped in George’s films, or worse someone that puts their own vision and messaging above the established ideas and core themes of the Star Wars universe. via /r/StarWars https://ift.tt/35NhhEd
