Give filoni a bloody film to make, he deserves more than anybody.

[@tryanpost8]

James Roa a one hr low budget movie. Let see if he can make it goof

[@tryanpost8]

*good

[@Tom-bn6pr]

He needs to be Star Wars' Kevin Feige, I don't think he necessarily needs to direct anything but he needs to have control and a presence over everything

[@MovieGuy0896]

James Roa I agree

[@MovieGuy0896]

Tom 22 exactly

[@bettercallmaul5810]

George Lucas sold and stepped down from Lucasfilm at age 68, Kathleen Kennedy is 64, when the time comes for someone else to run Lucasfilm, Dave Filoni should be considered.

[@user-kt4cg2fn7l]

I'm still only in favor of a creative role. There's a difference between putting him in a role like Kiri Hart's, which I think Kristian should be saying, and running an entire film studio that will include multiple Star Wars films in development, probably Indiana Jones, Star Wars parks, etc.

[@CobraTrouser]

lets hope she gets an early retirement

[@aaronmichael6792]

Better Call Maul he probably wouldn't be about to continue being a creator. Or at least I would assume so.

[@Scrapluv]

Adrian Avelar You're literally the first commenter I've seen even mention Kiri Hart's name. She's the person in charge of the story group and development.

[@dondraper3898]

Adrian Avelar LucasFilm doesn't have much of a say in the theme parks. That's all Disney. That's the reason why Iger bought LucasFilm- to have a Wizarding World of The Force. Nobody wants Kiri Hart's role because it's effectively useless

[@BroBastii]

These are 21 minutes of preparation for tonight and relaxing while I am listening to the words of one of the greatest Star Wars creators ever!

[@bibleteacher1547]

hey I have just a little qustion, how many hours are left until the series finale becuase sadly I do not live in the USA and I have to wait until it gets uploaded to the internet in a random website or something like that ;-;

[@BroBastii]

I said "one of the greatest [...]" so that doesn't exclude George

[@Blballerboy]

Rod Diaz if it’s tonight then about 11 hours from

[@codus2559]

Switch2Kill wait till rebels recon hits KZbin and that's usually my sign to start looking for a copy to watch ;). From another viewer outside America.

[@gaundy22]

So agree with this Rian Jhonson says hes a fan but Dave truly loves Star wars. He would make a Amazing movie.

[@MrBreaker333]

Filoni should be the Kevin Feige of the Star Wars universe.

[@anthonyortiz3142]

DoN BrEaKeR Agreed!

[@ObviousTroll]

With Star Wars being so divisive right now you could say this is our most desperate hour. Help us Dave Filoni, you're our only hope.

[@ObviousTroll]

Noiseless Sounds fans do suck but the movie sucked harder.

[@stephenclark3230]

"It's only divisive because fans suck ass." Even if that were so, fans are the reason Star Wars has endured for so long. Fans are the reason you got new Star Wars movies in the first place. It wouldn't exist without the fans...so if you like Star Wars, then you owe those very same fans that you hate a debt of gratitude.

[@ObviousTroll]

Noiseless Sounds nah fam my expectations weren't that high, i hated it because it was a huge mess from start to finish. I have specific reasons but i doubt you care to hear them. And if you think over 70 likes is a lot then wait till you see my final form.

[@ObviousTroll]

Noiseless Sounds well if enough people have the same criticism then it's probably true.

[@ObviousTroll]

Noiseless Sounds can't speak for everybody but I didn't get my opinions off the internet.

[@SwaggerLikeUz]

Dave Filoni!!! Wish this interview was a hour long, thanks Kristian. :)

[@whitewing2]

There is an hour long Q&A

[@nivekian]

Christian said there was a longer one on Jedi Council, didn't he?

[@derekrichardson7853]

Filoni talks about making sure Kanan’s death has meaning, not just for the other characters to know and understand the meaning but also the audience. If only Luke got that kind of treatment.

[@Pycpdbcoc]

True.

[@chesterfumblenutts6935]

Derek Richardson Yeah, they straight up treated him like an inconvenience. Oh, Luke's back, but we want him gone by 9 so, bye-bye. Bullshit.

[@talondiwisch5206]

Yeah. Haha. Most random death I’ve ever seen to a main character in a movie…

[@juanszapatapaez5875]

He is the chosen one. He is going to bring the balance in the force into Lucasfilm. Guys #Indavewetrust

[@Thurgor_Supreme]

May the Filoni be with us

[@Zen-t2j]

I think it's too late now, they're already two thirds of the way through the new trilogy. Not sure what else they can do

[@ink200mm]

Juan Sebastián Zapata Paez #indavewetrust

[@skeeyee1643]

watching kristian unable to hold back his smiles made me smile

[@erickcleveland2597]

After listening to this interview, Lucasfilm MUST make Filoni head of all creative. The dude just GETS IT. Make it happen!!!

[@Thurgor_Supreme]

I just wish he wasn't so damn humble. The executive sharks will skip right over him because of that.

[@grafffuller3265]

Great interview. Love to see Witwer vs. Hidalgo on a Star Wars Schmoedown. Make it happen.

[@BloodyFlowerFilms]

Graff Fuller Oh... never thought of that. Witwer is the king but Hidalgo would beat him for sure. It’s literally his job to know Star Wars.

[@MasterDoctorBenji]

BloodyFlowerFilms I could see Hidalgo correcting the quiz.

[@alexhayden219]

Put this guy in charge of everything. He shouldn't have to be graciously invited to participate in anything. He should be the one making the big decisions. Clone Wars is the best thing about the prequel era and Rebels is better than the sequel movies. George trusted him and rightfully so. He knows knows, understands, and loves this shit.

[@armatey007]

I'm impressed with how Krisitan can display his supreme fandom while still being professional.

[@chazertronfivethousand4425]

He says he's not a storyteller on the level George is yet, but I would say he is already a fantastic storyteller. I cannot wait for the finale and then to marathon this last season! I wish they were releasing this last half of the season as a theatrical release. I would love to share the experience with other fans on that level.

[@Tampertownmediagroup]

This is the only person who can save Star Wars!!!!!

[@kisaragitown3934]

Star Wars doesn’t need saving. Never did.

[@deathinabottle6759]

@@kisaragitown3934 Cute opinion

[@parkerstevenson5023]

and he just did

[@haskell420]

The only problem I had with this...is that it wasn't 1-2 hours LONGER! What an awesome 22 minutes!! Excellent interview Kristian! Dave gave us some good answers, while not revealing anything "official"! We all could see the excitement & energy coming off of you during the interview, and maybe it was just me, but I saw you were so close to just bursting with certain questions, Canon etc..lol....

[@PatrickBrophy]

Execute Order 66 already Emperor Filoni. Time for you to take it all over!

[@carloz1536]

Patrick Brophy in the voice of the emperor "ultimate power must me miiinnne!"

[@DechantMusic]

Amen. if we could vote on it K Rat would be GONE.

[@user-kt4cg2fn7l]

Dave seems very happy in his role and the power he wields. He talks to all of the creators, he can veto things that originated with him, and contrary to Kristian on some level, he seems to prefer smaller or lesser connections, depending on the fit. Like no Scarif here or very little Chopper and the Ghost in Rogue One. So if Dave's happy in his role, then I'm happy for him.

[@juanjaramillo9390]

Kristian literally thinks Dave reads everything & knows everything to the point where he comes up with everything by himself

[@CubbieBlue902]

Filoni is a creator who really understands Star Wars. Harloff is a fan who really understands Star Wars. I wish more creators and more fans were like these two.

[@Brook11223]

I am surprised that he is not directing a live action Star Wars film. Clearly he cares about the story and understands the mythology. Kathleen Kennedy clearly needs to hire Feloni for a project.

[@stevenirizarry1304]

Raghu Seetharaman he understands mythology...but story is a different matter...he needs to really consult with the guys at Pixar to make a well structured screenplay with depth on its own terms

[@dbatteries1]

He should be directing the movies and running lucas films

[@avocado6623]

Kathleen Kennedy should step aside and let him run the story.

[@GeekyNerdTheatre]

He probably doesn't have time. There is a very strong chance that he is already in development on the new series for the streaming network.

[@WingXCustom]

Pixar sucks.

[@shivelyfilms]

Dave has heart for this franchise and its something it needs right now, Help us Filoni you're our only hope.

[@megalord2598]

THE LEGEND OF GUY WHO KEEPS STAR WARS COOL DAVE FILONI!

[@blakelockard1808]

Harloff is so giddy, and rightfully so.

[@masamune2984]

Amazing interview, Kristian! Really shows why you are one of the best in the business! You know how to be both a fan and a professional at the same time. And to Mr. Filoni, thank you orb EVERYTHING. There are many legends in the Star Wars universe, but you are one of the best...AND you're also canon :)

[@haskell420]

BTW, Right now on Disney XD is the REBELS Marathon that has been going on since yesterday! Watching them all, back to back is so damn awesome!

[@daliasaravia1443]

I wish this interview was 2 hours long! Filoni is amazing🤭

[@Imylover]

I am so happy for you, Kristian! I know how much this meeting means for you! And you are certainty the right guy to do it.

[@dondraper3898]

Here's what Iger should say in a press statement "Kathleen has done such an amazing job at revitalizing Star Wars for future generations which has opened up so many new possibilities. To help realize her vision, we are appointing Dave Filoni as an associate producer on upcoming projects". That's the best way to spin demoting Kennedy without getting killed in the press

[@erikc157]

Sorry Dave hasn't done a live action film ever,so let put him the head of story group

[@dondraper3898]

Eric Kern The problem with that is the "story group" doesn't get heard other than when they have to do damage control or come up with backstories for Snoke's slippers. I said associate producer, which is as a generic and ethereal title Hollywood has next to a producer. Really, what did Kennedy do for Spielberg?

[@mayeastrise]

I really think that this would be the best solution. Kennedy is more of an organizer which is also very important but she lacks a general vision as shown in the sequel trilogy. Filoni could be the guy who has the vision what Star Wars should be. He would essentially be the guiding hand that ensures that all types of media (e.g. Rian's trilogy) feel like they belong in the same universe.

[@dondraper3898]

Phil zu Neide My issue with Kennedy being in charge of anything stems from how she became a producer in the first place. From my understanding, she was an enthusiastic, eager secretary for Spielberg who became a producer because he deemed it so. Her husband, on the other hand, worked under Bogdanovich, Scorsese to Spielberg, handling everything from location manager to second unit directing

[@mayeastrise]

Don Draper I don't really see how that matters. She must be good or she wouldn't have stayed so long in the business or be entrusted with one of the most valuable franchises.

[@wiffles88]

Thank You Kristian and Collider for making this interview happen! This is great!

[@teddyrattlesnake2991]

"Please help us Dave, you're our only hope!"

[@darthoblivion2615]

Love Dave Filoni. He should be in charge of all creative decisions at Lucusfilm.

[@chasadavis]

Outstanding conversation. I'm impressed that the subjects you were curious about were directly answered by Filoni.

[@thebacons5943]

AWESOME. So glad you got to do this interview Kristian, happy for you

[@nizzrao]

What an awesome interview I could sit here and watch these two talk about Star Wars all day. SO HYPED FOR THE FINALE!!!

[@michaelpace99]

Cody Parker Can't wait! 😀

[@dominikroberts6681]

You guys are amazing, thank you for keeping us all up to date and bring on rebels later 🙌😍

[@futbolerstogo8992]

this man should be running Lucasfilm

[@archtac]

Happy you got to interview him again Kristian!! :) Your love for all this makes star wars even more fun!

[@christianwright1114]

Nicely Done Kristian! So happy you got to interview the Great Filoni

[@benny2755]

That was so awesome. Glad you were able to pull off that interview. Keep up the GREAT work. Man hopefully JJ taps him in the shoulder and uses Dave to his fullest extent to build his story/film to improve it dramatically.

[@theodorehumphreys907]

Awesome Interview!! Love Dave Filoni. I agree with Kristen that Dave should be consultant on all starwar content. Clone Wars was great. Love Rebels! can't wait for his next story.

[@colinfitzgerald007]

I just have to say I am SOOO happy that you got this interview. Kristian, you are the PERFECT person to be asking the MAN...Dave Filoni, these questions. Loved it!!!

[@justingilmore123]

What a fantastic interview! Dave Filoni is such a creative genius and excellent storyteller.

[@09blackcobaltss]

Man Dave Filioni is such a Humble guy and is so amazing in his knowledge and story telling. I hope one day he gets his shot to connect most of the star wars world.

[@fiveheed]

Dave is awesome!!! Thanks so much Kristian for getting this interview!!!!

[@MikeSidious]

Filoni should be the head of creative content at Lucasfilm. Dave is the closest thing we have to Lucas and it would make sense, that he steer this ship into the future.

[@anonymousdan7205]

Dave Filoni is the freakin man! Hope one day he gets to direct a film

[@ronniepooch]

Filoni... a fan = why he connects to the fanbase so well and is on the mark with his story choices. Everyone that's head creative should be required to go through a test to see if they're truly a fan of star wars before making decisions which effect canon. ahem... K. Kennedy..

[@ChristianRPorter]

I am praying for a Star Wars Rebels sequel right now.

[@Drotori1]

I want to thank Dave Filoni for his vision and artistry in Star Wars. We want to see a live action movie directed by him! Thank you Kristian for making this interview happen.

[@diskjokk]

Had to watch this interview right after the finale. Filoni gets Star Wars! I still can't believe I actually teared up at the end of the episode. Great interview Kristain! I'm gonna really miss Rebels.

[@ryankeefe1236]

Great interview Kristian also I really can’t believe it’s coming to an end I’ve grown more attached to these characters more than I realized

[@hulksmash849]

Filoni is a genius! Much respect for his love of Star Wars and creativity. Stay humble my friend.

[@diamondrattler7453]

I hope to God that Filoni takes over all creative aspects at Lucasfilm. Gonna miss Rebels and the lore that it has introduced and explored. Hope Filoni has something in the works and it comes soon!

[@WhoWouldWantThisName]

This is why I'm not saddened by the ending of Rebels. They already have a show underway. While we've been watching S4 they've been putting together the next TV show.

[@AbjectPermanence]

This is cool, I'm glad y'all could get together like this.

[@manuelcardoso5519]

Filoni for creative control of Star Wars .😁😉.he is the only one who can put things back on track for star Wars😉😁😁.. What a wonderful person. A true star wars guru. He has done great work congratulations . Great interview

[@juanjaramillo9390]

Manuel Cardoso question..... if Dave Filoni loved TLJ... would you take back what you’ve just said?? Because assuming that he enjoyed TLJ i don’t see how he would put it back on track in your eyes since for him its currently on track :)

[@manuelcardoso5519]

Juan Jaramillo We can assume a lot of things but even you have to agree that there is something not right going on with Star Wars ...and i do not want to go into the political side of it...because Star Wars has always been diverse. The problem is more on the creative side that is lacking....Kathleen may be a fantastic producer and she has the credentials to prove it but she lacks the imagination and creativity to understand Star Wars at least thats how i see it. Doesnt...mean that someone like Filoni in charge would resolve anything but some change is needed... even though i liked TLJ ...yes i did like the movie but I didnt love...it.! overall....i felt that it was a huge step down...and found it to be disapointing especially when it comes to Star wars. And the more i see it... the more I understand the problems that came with some of the choices that were made with it. And if the franchise is to continue these problems should be taken into account and not ignored.

[@juanjaramillo9390]

Manuel Cardoso she didn’t write the story though & btw I have a feeling I know what political stuff you mean ;) Lemme guess its something to do with “feminist agenda” right ;)

[@riverrush8422]

Ya it does and although she didn't write the story she influenced the script and it was obvious based on how shit it was. Now go stfu #Disneyfan +Juan Jaramillo

[@juanjaramillo9390]

You are so deluded & hateful & yes i am a disney fan is that supposed to offend me?

Incredible interview Kristian. Luv this guy! Thank you Dave Filoni. The last 4 Episodes of Rebels were AMAZING!

[@beachdweller]

Wow, that was great Kristian, loved the questions asked and answered

[@Stikman_13]

I honestly wonder if Kathleen Kennedy even knows who Dave Filoni is.

[@AlexYBITW]

Stikman She just knows Jar Jar Abrams and Ruin Johnson

[@juanjaramillo9390]

Yep he’s just some random dude thats in charge of the animation mhm

[@chrisblaze1484]

Stikman I really hope not. He's a gem that must be protected from her. She's already got JJ and Rian. But hopefully, Dave will be protected by his wolves.

[@lancedenis5585]

You're an idiot

[@DechantMusic]

I hope she knows what unemployment will be like.

[@Ulghan]

I love the part where he's talking about meaningful death for Kanan. Love Filoni for that. I wish the sequel trilogy would do more of that. Han's death didn't really do anything for the progression of the story or characters, not even for Kylo. Snoke is killed off for shock value just to get rid of him and with snoke gone they had to write off Luke aswell in a very underwhelming way.

[@Icybubba]

What? What do you mean not for Kylo? Did you even watch TLJ?

[@Zetnas]

Han’s death played a role in committing kylo to the dark side. He made a choice to kill the Ben Solo side of himself. To say it didn’t do anything to the story just isn’t true. It’s selective to not look at the development in the story.

[@Ulghan]

Santez Henderson But did he really commit to the dark side? The whole Rey & Kylo plot is about how Kylo is still a conflicting character. Just like he was before killing Han. If anything made that switch it was Snoke's death, not Han's. Also, do you really think he's not going to be "redeemed" in ep9?

[@Wizard_Pikachu]

And Luke was written pretty well.

[@SienaJackson]

If I may say so, my feelings were they were going for funny and for shock value, and also to slap the fans in the face. I hated the dumb jokes too. They did away with any heart-felt scenes. If KK oversees all decisions, that was probably her right there. I wish someone would remake TLJ keeping Luke and Leia and also put Han at least a s force-ghost. These are just my feelings.

[@dungeonsdudesdragons]

I LOVE This, but also wish that you interviewed him after seeing the finale! Well done, Harloff! Great Interview!

[@reynaldomcwhiskey6689]

Woah!! We got an interview with Filoni!!

[@AngelaSealana]

Great questions & tone for this interview, Kristian. 👍👍

[@ThunderJ16]

This was such a fun 21 minutes. Loved every second of it! :D

[@Commander64]

*Great interview* it felt like just two friends chatting about star wars.

[@darthwint3823]

Master Filoni, Years ago you served the farther of Star Wars in the Clone Wars, Now we fans BEG you to help us in our struggle against Kathleen Kennedy. I regret that I am unable to present the fans request to you in person, but I live in UK & i'm afraid my mission to bring this message to Lucasfilm has failed. I have placed information vital to the survival of Star Wars into the message board of this podcast. Pablo Hidalgo will know how to retrieve it. You must see this message safely delivered to Bob Iger at Disney. This is our most desperate hour. Help us Dave Filoni, You're our only hope..

[@fmulder94]

I don't even watch Rebels and this is a fantastic interview and I would listen to them talk about canon for hours. I'm really hoping that Collider's new plans to cover/do more live events (live for crowds) will make it possible for Kristian to talk to Dave more this year

[@miguelsiguenza4014]

It’s awesome to hear an interview with a person who loves Star Wars ...👍🏽 give Filoni a movie .. he deserves a chance

[@samahsaadi839]

Never thought I could ever love another man this much. Filoni is the GOAT. Great interview, Kristian!

[@irishnexus1180]

I love Filoni, loved watching this chat, especially considering Kristian's discussions on Jedi Council about him

[@johnsummers9660]

Just watched the filnalé and I can't wait for the next series Filoni does. Especially if it picks up soonishly after the end of Rebels. Filoni has made so many great animated series at this point, he could crap in a bag and I'd watch it.

[@dtevol]

I find it encouraging that Filoni and all the new filmmakers so far have spoken and/or collaborated somewhat. I also found it interesting how Filoni squashed this idea that he had everything pre-planned for Rebels. That's the gift of tv that film doesn't allow for...space and time. There's been more screen time for Rebels (27.5 hours total) than all of the prequels, OT, rogue one, TFA and TALK combined (19.5 hours)! TV is a lot more flexible and forgiving that way.

[@auntvesuvi3872]

Many thanks to Mr. Harloff and Mr. Filoni! ✨
