Dave Filoni

For me, actions speak louder than words. As long as the product that he gives us is good, I don’t care how much of KK’s rhetoric he spews to groups. He could walk into her office and kneel down on a light pad, for all I care, as long as the stories we get are good and are in the spirit of Star Wars.

I think Dave knows what is at stake, the future of Star Wars and that he’s just playing the game in order to keep his job and be the last connection to George Lucas  that this current era of Star Wars has. Right now it’s pretty much Kennedy vs Favreau with Filoni in the middle. At any time, Kennedy could fire Filoni and that would be the complete end of Star Wars but as long as Filoni is there, there is hope. Filoni has all the knowledge that Lucas passed on to him and Favreau is using that knowledge as well as George himself to improve the image of Star Wars. Filoni will do what he has to, will say what he has to, in order to remain at Lucasfilm. If by some miracle Kennedy is let go, then Filoni and Favreau will be able to lead us into a new era of Star Wars. If Favreau is let go but Dave remains, he could still manage to save some aspects of what made Star Wars great. If Dave is let go, it’ll be all out war between Kennedy and Favreau and we all know who the Disney execs will side with.

At least, this is my point of view of everything.

Not to mention that this speech took place before TLJ came out and a lot has happened since then. Yeah I’m sure he had some input on what happened somewhere in TLJ meetings with Rian, because he has talked about that. But I’m sure after he got George’s opinions on the film he was awakened to how awful it really was.

I actually did see this clip in 2017 and didn’t think anything of it. I really don’t know why everyone got so offended over what he said. Were there people that got upset over multiple female leads in Star Wars? Maybe, maybe not. I wasn’t one of them so I wasn’t upset with his comments. At the end of the day, he was at a women’s conference and he  said what they wanted to hear. As long as this doesn’t go into his product it doesn’t matter to me.

I think Dave Filoni has way too much Soy in him to stand up to KK but he is a bit flip floppy which makes me think he’s trying to stay on everyone’s good side… only problem with that is you cannot serve 2 masters…

Hearing Filoni genuinely talk about star wars….you know he has it….and he’s proven he always checks in with George Lucas…..he holds him so high he calls his staff to pass on any “George said he liked your stuff” i meannn idk lots of things.

Hes just playing the game i think…..i mean picture yourself in his shoes…..and loving star wars so much…..inside a toxic canceling environment lol.

If Filoni ever does a 180…..its going to be because of a new evil sith Wife or partner who manipulates him into what we fear most as Star Wars Fans lol.

I would love to hear where you got that he served on Kashyyyk, I honestly haven’t heard that, but even if that’s true is it really that big of a deal to change him? It doesn’t change anything other than the minimal backstory of a man you see three times in ROTJ that has no lines. But those that do watch The Clone Wars and Rebels get to see a beloved character in the movies as well. There are way worse things Disney Star Wars has done to get upset over.

Previous post has a text capture from Pablo the cunt. That bitch can go fuck himself too. He was put in charge of maintaining continuity back during the Prequel era; yet hes on the record as far back as 2005 stating the EU was too huge and needed to be nuked to keep it all straight.

Fuck that. Anyone in that position who says shit like that should have been fired instantly.
