Dave Filoni

“My hope is that, in years to come, people will still be watching 'The Clone Wars,' and they'll still hold up. That's my goal - time tested.”

“Animation in itself has so many different looks and styles and possibilities.”

“Working on 'Clone Wars,' it was always canon.”

“It's a guilty pleasure that things I loved as a kid I now have the power to put into motion and up on screen.”

“As a kid, I remember hearing about Boba Fett before I even saw Boba Fett.”

“I love the place 'Clone Wars' has on Netflix; it's very accessible, and I think it's great.”

“I've been very fortunate in animation - when I get on a project, people tend to keep me, so I have long stays of work rather than bouncing around.”

“'The Clone Wars' was rooted in George Lucas and his characters.”

“The look of 'Rebels' is based much more on the classic 'Star Wars' trilogy, where the 'The Clone Wars' was a prequel era series.”

“'The Clone Wars' is certainly set in the darkest possible time throughout the whole 'Star Wars' story.”

“The best compliment we ever got on 'Clone Wars' was a parent coming up and telling me that it was something they could watch with their kids. I really love that.”

“Every 'Star Wars' film was about pushing what was possible in terms of effects, puppets, matte paintings, stop motion and, now, digitally.”

“Sometimes a villain is very quiet - it makes them more deadly, more intellectual.”

“I do love my hometown. It really forged who I am in a major way.”

“As the director, to have the opportunity to work with actors of the calibre of David Oyelewo is just fantastic and special.”

“You're stuck with me Skyguy-Ahsoka”

“I think, sometimes with fans, what a lot of studios miss is it's just the gesture: it's the idea of knowing that they do matter, that we do care about what they think.”

“All animation is a tremendous amount of work, but when you put 'Star Wars' on the top of something, there's already this bar that people are going to put on it.”

“You know, 'Star Wars' - even when it gets dark, it comes back to the light - it makes you feel good. I think families enjoy watching it and sharing in it.”

“I think it's important that 'Star Wars' characters speak universally, to kids and to people.”
