I will not tell you what they are!” he laughs. With his fluid approach to storytelling – and with characters weaving in and out of various series and mediums – Filoni is open to all possibilities. Place your bets now for what that defining moment will be. You’re looking for those moments that define an era, and that’s what the films really should be about – whether it’s characters coming together, or a defining moment.” “What Tony has done and what we did in Rebels, everything then changes when Luke blows up the Death Star. “To me, a theatrical experience has to have a big idea – a monumental moment in the time period that changes what’s happening,” says Filoni. We’ve been building all these small stories.” If the Disney+ series have allowed time to establish these characters and the New Republic era they inhabit, the movie is all about creating a bigger picture. There are all kinds of sub-stories underneath that. A New Hope, Empire and Return Of The Jedi tell the important parts of the tale that really define the history of the period. “The way I look at it, there are stories, and then there’s the big story of the day, too. Speculation abounds as to what that movie will involve – is it another step in the wider Mandalorian-Ahsoka-Thrawn story, or could it be the culmination of the whole thing? “Culmination is an interesting word,” teases Filoni, speaking to Empire at Star Wars Celebration. His journey just got a thrilling new destination. Next up? He’s directing a feature film, as confirmed by Kathleen Kennedy at Star Wars Celebration – tying into the Mando-verse and looking likely to unite characters including Din Djarin, Ahsoka, and the villainous Grand Admiral Thrawn. And few Star Wars journeys have been as epic as that of Dave Filoni – the storyteller who was hand-picked by George Lucas to help steer The Clone Wars, studied for years at the hand of the master himself, before creating his own corner of the galaxy and moving into live-action with Mando and beyond. Star Wars has always been about epic journeys – whether it’s Luke Skywalker’s transformation from farm boy to Jedi Master, Din Djarin’s foray into fatherhood in The Mandalorian, or Rey’s path to self-discovery in the sequel trilogy.
