Dave Filoni Issues First Statement on Star Wars' Live-Action TV Future As Lucasfilm President Ahead of Ahsoka Season 2's Disney+ Release

Wait 5 sec.

Star Wars' live-action TV output reinvigorated the franchise after Disney's divisive sequel trilogy failed to leave a lasting impression on the fandom. The future of those shows has, however, looked bleak in recent years, and Lucasfilm president Dave Filoni has now weighed in on where the franchise is headed on streaming. Filoni took over as Lucasfilm president and chief creative officer when Kathleen Kennedy stepped down in January, with Lynwen Brennan serving alongside him as co-president, so he now has the power to reshape that strategy. Filoni was recently quizzed on the future of Star Wars on TV beyond Ahsoka Season 2, which arrives on January 20, 2027. He struck an optimistic tone, sounding especially excited to be in the driver's seat and "part of orchestrating" the storytelling to come: "Yeah. It's interesting, isn't it? It makes you wonder. And we'll continue to wonder and speculate, which is all part of being a fan. Obviously, in this position, I get to be part of orchestrating that type of storytelling structure in the future and where we're going to go in the galaxy. Very excited about that."  Read full article on The Direct.
