George Lucas and Dave Filoni Talk The Clone Wars, Plus Anthony Daniels Stops By! 

The end must be nigh

@@noahknauss1255 Lol

“This is impossible!!!”

hahaha same

@@noahknauss1255 omg

And they did it so masterfully

Well...yes

And so Karen Traviss couldn't go off on anymore tangents about them being glorified slaves.

And it did

@Hanakin Sidewalker Dare I say it was so... *artistically done?* ;)

But which was destroyed... the master or the apprentice?

One to embody the power, the other to crave it. Rule of two 😔👌

“And you have been replaced..”

Ah, yes. Master Filoni and... wait... Who's the apprentice?

I was going to comment this, but somehow knew it would already be here.

I almost didn't recognize him without his hat. But I think the dude actually has a pretty decent head of hair.

You call him Dr. Filoni dawl!

lol true

It is I, Dave Filoni! You probably didn't recognise me because of the -red arm- no hat

👀

Minton May The Forth be with you when the day come!

@@user-cv6kj9cl6w and you!

Shaak Ti: May the Force be with you.

I'm not ready for the final!!!

only two days before the end will begin

For real we’re lucky to have Dave holding the mantle and being apart of clone wars and mandalorian and hopefully ahsoka spin off

@@DanielLopez-fj9yz he still doesnt have live action down yet he had the worst episodes of the Mandalorian granted they weren't that bad they just werent as great as the other ones.

Son of Dathomir I disagree I liked them

@@DanielLopez-fj9yz c'mon you have to agree that episode 6 and 8 are better than 5 like I said I like the episodes they're just not as good as the rest done by different directors

I wanna like this comment, but it's at 420 likes, I can't mess with perfection!

And the padawans are Timothy Zahn, James Luceno and Drew Karpyshyn 🙂

I mean, Charles Soule is a better Dave Filoni. I love some of Dave's stories, but most of them are just okay or Bantha poodoo

@@bradneece2409 lol what? You realize Dave wrote the Siege of Mandalore and lots of Mandalorian episodes right? Aka the best Star Wars content ever.

@@sam8404 yes. And like I said, I love some of his stories, those included

@@bradneece2409 Charles Soule can't hold a candle to Filoni.

Right! But I’d actually rather see him write and direct ahsoka spin off

What about the Clone Wars movie?

@@josh_jack True. But, it was George's idea to take the first four episodes of The Clone Wars and turn them in to a connected storyline, to show just how cinematic the show was meant to be. Unlike some, I liked The Clone Wars movie...and saw it opening weekend...my theater was pretty full. Now that Dave has directed a handful of Live Action episodes/chapters of The Mandalorian (Season 1 and Season 2), he's certainly closer to managing a full-length Star Wars film. I'd be happy if Filoni co-writes the Kevin Feige-Produced Star Wars film, while The Russo Bros. direct.

AnthonyRU-vidFan that would be awesome, yeah!

Alex proton and give this man a movie

execute Order 😢

I agree

Makes me sad my friend also

I feel a disturbance in the force, as if thousands of viewers cried out, and were extremely saddened.

Hello there.

Lmao so true!

Rocko Steel People who understand anything about George realise that those episodes were his through and through. That’s the precise reason why many say that he must despise the unoriginal choices made in the sequels...

@@GodAtum season 5 episode 11 . A sunny day in the void. He says it in the interview

I loved that arc. Elegant, variety and fun.

George loves droids. The original draft of Star Wars supposedly started with like 20 minutes of Artoo and Threepio wandering around with not a human in sight. The studio quickly told him that nobody would watch this .

I was looking for that comment. I knew my fellow Star Wars Fans wouldn't let me down :)

@@Wastydest uneexpected, but not unwelcome. ;)

Summed up perfectly

Yes!! So true man.

Nah.

@@DoubleRDubPlays Nah what?

Can't said better.

Star Trek: “First Time?”

Erik Thomsen I only started to watch Star Trek and I know how big the franchise is and how much is means to fans. Im 16 right now so I wanna watching it before I get too old.

Thundering14 53 I am 17. And for past few months I have been sitting with my father each Friday and watching one episode from the Next Generation and Voyager. Before that I hadn’t watched a single Star Trek thing. It may not be the most suspenseful franchise. But I have come to appreciate the ideas and other intriguing aspects of these show. May the force be with you, always.

Erik Thomsen Live Long and Prosper

This has to be the best reply section I have ever seen on RU-vid! While the Star Wars fandom is divided in 2, the Star Trek fans and Star Wars fans are actually coming together and having a civil conversation. See, this is proof that humanity becomes better over time, thank you for restoring my faith on my own species!

Mac Ledram hats of to george

Mac Ledram I don’t think it’s that deep mate, he just doesn’t have it on

LS SH legit😂 everything is symbolism in this fan base even down to interviews

Son of Jesus or it could just be hot in there 😅

got too expensive to animate that bit of CGI

👍👍👍👍

The Shadow they probably do talk about for hours

I feel the end of The Clone Wars is the beginning of Dave's Jedi Knighthood.

Anakin Skywalker use my knowledge I beg you

Always two there are, a master and an apprentice

Kathleen Kennedy is the Palpatine, creeping in the shadows waiting to strike.

_Always two there are. A master and an apprentice._

That be hevean

Retcons

Jude Gross well she does have a ton of influence or maybe not maybe she just hired ppl who have her ideas on the board

Yeah, let's go overthrow her from the cair

He kind of already is. Literally everything he’s been in charge has been loved by the community while the new trilogy not so much... At the end of the day they’re a business and will go with the person that will make them the most money.

CoachChrisGeek'd these were the original ideas for The Clone Wars Season 7, so they are still in reality George Lucas’ and Dave Filoni’s plans.

It was altered due to rebels and changes to the asoka whereabouts arc .

Dave Felony is a hack.

@@jdarkholme how?

Filoni also does "The Mandalorian", so I support the GOAT title.

They were good episodes! Really strong sense of adventure that parallels A New Hope

Lmao

It's also something completely different and out of the ordinary, which is George's MO. At the time the first Star Wars was released, it broke ground in visual effects, in sound, in story telling, it was something that truly hadn't been done. The prequels were giving a visual style that was radically different than the original trilogy while style retaining certain aesthetics and were the foundation for the move to the digital medium for filmmaking. The Clone Wars was a CGI animated tv show that was head and shoulders above other CGI tv shows not just from the technical side of it but from the story telling side of it. Very few shows have reached that level (Dragons: Race to the Edge is a fair rival to Clone Wars). As a filmmaker, George is all about trying new things, pushing the envelope of what can be done; whether it succeeds or fails doesn't matter, as long as you do something new and different.

Gregor was the man

Well it's the only arc where we see Greggor in action, so props to it

Yeah, another "The people vs George Lucas!" So fun and balanced!

Nah that's impossible

?

"He will avenge us"

He will bring unity to the fandom!

He doesn’t want to be in charge of LucasFilm, he’s already in charge of the whole animation department, that’s enough for him. LucasFilm is a business first and foremost, someone who understands business needs to have that position. He just wants to continue making good stories, that can run counterintuitive sometimes with business.

@@amransom26 Who exactly that was responsible for the awful Disney Star Wars movies do you think "understands business"? The movies were so bad that nothing outside of Dave Filoni's efforts since George Lucas sold have had any success or critical praise whatsoever, and Disney's additional planned films have all been canceled or put on indefinite hold. If you have a good product, it sells itself. If you don't have a good product, no amount of business sense can overcome that deficit for long.

@@fakecubed most people liked those movies, so they were all very financially successful.

@@coin3720 ofcourse it was financially successful because the brand name/reputation sells big in the cinema world, but did everyone like the movie? There was a huge drop on merchandise toys (which is really important) and especially the epic fail on the new Star wars attraction that visitor didn't come

@@MRxSimpleDude the attraction that launched less than 2 months before Covid? It's not really surprising that numbers didn't suddenly jump up like that. As for toys, while it's not as cashgrabby as the Prequels, they're still selling a ton. The main reason is because everything's moved to mobile games. Look at in app purchases now vs 6 years ago. If a kid wants to play Star Wars, odds are they're going to do it on their iPad rather than go out and buy new toys. It's sad but it's true

Anish Selar I miss George making Star Wars.

@@darthkso3745 nostalgia

RESpECT anD wORSHIp THE HOLy DIvInE GOD THE FaTHER OF JESUS CHRIST.

I love Anthony Daniels. He’s definitely a Star Wars fan himself.

Jonathan Crane respect the man for voicing C3PO in the clone wars, shows his love for the character as well

@@Anonymous-ct2kg not just that. He is c3po from the very start

Rangga Clio my point exactly, love the man

Hoping to spotify

They’ve been out since May 2018, actually. Go to Amazon and see.

@@MedievalFantasy93 those ones are on spotify, just these ones are the original edits of the soundtracks, so for example episode III intro sounds more accurate to the film, etc.

They just reassembled the original soundtrack albums from the original masters instead of the film masters as has been done previously. These remastered versions have been out for quite a while now, so I would suspect these interviews were done several years ago. But I can't help but hope that complete versions were worked on because it would be a waste to only remaster the stuff that hit the album. The complete versions are probably ready to go, just need a final sign off from John Williams and a lot of time for the release. But the minute they announce the complete scores to the original films they have my money!

@@andyvawser4943 that would be awesome, hoping so. Sorry the misunderstandimg haha

More like Qui-gon and Obi-wan. Can't see much of Anakin in Filoni!

I agree it's more like Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan.

Anakin is Kathleen Kennedy. She was the chosen one to bring balance and joy to the main films...and then...

werewolfx51 Nah, Kathleen is more like Palpatine; she was always corrupt. JJ Abrams is a lot more like Anakin. We put all our hopes and dreams in him, but together with his empir-I MEAN company, he let us all down.

They are like Anakin and Ahsoka to me.

Exactly what I was thinking 😂

Hahaha Disney must learn

ewayfiojfdhjfduogiyh Prequels: Great Story! 🤣

@@grungelover4020 better than the sequels by far! Atleast it's cohesive and you can more or less follow the story along! Can't say that for the sequels

ewayfiojfdhjfduogiyh No Millennial!!!

Which Francis Ford Coppola advises George in doing. Which is why George made the prequels on his own.

@@hopelessent.1700 The real reason is Lucas had a bad experience with kershner on Empire.

@Ancalagon George really REALLY should have made the prequels the way he made Clone Wars (working with other talented directors and writers to bring his vision to life). It would have been so good...

@Ancalagon Look, I do believe George is as nice and innocent as Tom Hanks. But I wouldn't let him anywhere near a writers' room.

Looks at Rian Johnson

Always 2 there are a Master and an apprentice.

Nicholas Damiani, I love your videos.

But he doesn't have the experience in running a company soooo

He should definitely be in charge of all creative decisions, but maybe have him and Jon Favreau teamed up so he isn't given 100% supreme authority, because that seems like one of G.L.'s problems with the prequels...too many yes-men. Basically, Dave in charge of everything we see, but with someone to keep him reigned in so he doesn't go mad with power as everyone is capable of doing.

James Suraci id be good with both they both share that knowledge and care Star Wars deserves. Just can’t wait to see what they both create after this

@@jamessuraciart he is. Favreau is there on Mandalorian because Lucasfilm needed skills to handle a cinematographic filmed series - only George used to master that in Lucasfilm. Filoni is a 100% animation guy. Favreau had all this experience from the Disney and Marvel movies he has made in the past years. But I guess both worked together closely, whithout much friction. It's a win-win partnership for both and Dave will be even more skilled now (and it shows on this last season of Clone Wars), and also for us spectactors: Mandalorian was very good.

@@WhiteWolf496 here's the solution: jon favrou for bussiness and dave for the creative.

Kathleen’s been real quiet lately

She needs to be . Let the real deal take over !

@@rumpio5505 Her influence is still apparent though...

@@jamessuraciart You mean the, "Female-centric" series coming to Disney +? I don't think that's gonna make it beyond the beginning stages...most likely, it's in the same boat as Rian Johnson's trilogy.

I wish people were like this before he sold it. I just want to hear the fandom say, "We were wrong George, please come back!"

Even when it's not on it's next to him 😂

Adil do you mean saga because trilogy would just be 3 films ?

Matthew Moores wrong comment?

Matthew Moores Might I interest you in Nicholosity’s comment?

Theodor Martin I don’t know how that happened 😂

Georgie out

Agreed

Link Aran I really don’t like the new woman.

I don't like this Anthony guy

Nano please please dew It! The old weekly format was just perfect

Lucas Galvan I think it coming once a month makes it have this level of quality where they can get people like Anthony Daniels and George Lucas on it

Frostburn no more

Yep, 7, 8 & 9 made no sense whatsoever

Well the Nightsisters aren't completely but the Geonosians are

Ügiustus Keiserus Yeah iknow about merrin and shelish.

In rebels there was a geonisian and he was protecting an egg so there's maybe hope

Merrin was in the fallen order and there was one geonosian in the Rebels so there is hope for both of them.

@@smoky7451 Filoni confirmed that the egg ended up being an a queen that can't lay eggs. However, he said that there maybe other queen eggs deep deep underground in Geonosis.

I want filoni to direct, not to be a suit

@@gelatinoustyrant3789 you are right, I just think since Filoni has done such a great job directing he would be a great pres

@@donoso1312 You have a good point, i guess i really just wish he could do both. which probably isn't realistic for one person to do

Mikel Zugarramurdi Sandoval i want to like this comment, but I can’t let it go over 66

It is critical that we send an attack group there immediatly.

It's a system we cannot afford to lose.

*in* the wookies?

@@felixm8733 Good relations with wookies I have!

I really like the final season, but there were too many episodes with Trace. They literally try to escape in one episode, and end up still captured in the end of the episode. The whole episode literally meant nothing, because the characters got nowhere.

I would to was wishing we got to see some of it like grievous kidnapping the chancellor, or the assault on the Jedi temple

Here's another incentive: the Mustafar duel would _shatter_ us, and we all know George Lucas and Filoni are tear vampires who feed off the fans' grief.

You must be wealthy then, that would cost millions

While you're at it, can you just pay them ti reanimate episodes 1-6? With less Jar Jar in 1 or an actor that is actually funny for his role, episode 2 as a semi comedy to make it more interesting, and a faster paced OT with stormtroopers that barely miss.

I’ve been wanting this for a while, with TCW’s voiceactors

TCW is animation, *perfected*.

John would be more suited as president, however george and dave would work great as creative directors

Can't believe she's in charge of the creative end for the next Indy movie. God help us. It will be a horrible film just like the last Indiana Jones film. Sorry I just didn't enjoy it at all.

If you seriously think that then you're not a real Star Wars fan dumbass!

Correction fake fan: The OT really is the best Star Wars content out there. Fact!

@@MichaelM28 your the type of person that got him to sell it to disney giving us the abhorrent sequels.

@@MichaelM28 you must be the guy who was complaining about ashoka in 2008.

@@MrRba122 to be fair ashoka when she first began was pretty bland with almost no flaws, she eventually evolved into a great character but the criticism there was kind of valid.

Luca Tulumello I don’t care

@@cloudstrife206 ok. Nobody asked you to care about me.

@@lucatulumello9346 Gottem chief

@@cloudstrife206 Then why reply?

Star Wars has so many great comics. It's literally one of the best and most underrated parts of it. Comics and games made me a fan. And the nice part about comics and novels is that new ones are always coming out. My only regret with comics is that they end so quick. I'll read them in a day, but a novel for weeks.

Jon Favreau also deserves some credit considering he's the showrunner of the Mandalorian

@@oscaraddison8040 Yes, and was smart to have Dave heavily involved in the writing of the show.

@@Nerveroxis Yea true

Fav and Filoni are the best thing to happen to the modern era of Star Wars. They just get it and actually have some heart n love

You can't say that Star Wars was saved if the conclusion of the Skywalker family story was absolute garbage.

He says that Attack of the Clones is the best Star Wars movie and Empire Strikes Back is the worst. It's his thing you know. Somebody gotta have the back of his worse work since ESB and the better episodes of the clone wars get enough praise.

@@kungolaf4499 I've noticed that too. He also says Jar Jar is his favorite. He actually has his reasons for all these besides just trolling. AOTC because it has the most references and influence from old movies he loves Jar Jar because he's the first fully CG character and George loves technical advances The droid episodes because it's weird and off from the human characters a lot like the beginning of A New Hope

@@sikid4000 yeah, George is a genuinely obtuse and out of the box person, and it's both his greatest strength, and biggest weakness

That’s why the clone wars really is some of the best Star Wars material out there. It’s just expands so well on all the basics of Star Wars and it refines George’s vision really shows you how amazing the prequel films could have been if he had less yes men

Bringing Balance back to Star Wars

You are right

Master kenobi, you disappoint me

Amen

lool

Favorite episode is Clone Cadet. That sense of family in a military unification is great!

Should always be appreciated

His ideas for 7-9 were some of worst things I've ever read. So happy he sold it to Disney before we got something worse than the prequels.

Kevin Strom I liked his ideas for the sequel trilogy. Thought they were interesting.

@@SSJ4Tarfful Dude...space whales that eat the force controlling everything....idk....it might have worked but it seemed way too out there Lol

@@BabysitterSky uh... they're not publicly available sooooooo

@@WhiteWolf496 Like scripts? Don't know if he actually wrote any. His outlines and ideas? They've been out for awhile.
