Dave Filoni Promoted At Lucasfilm, Will Oversee Next Generation Of Star Wars Movies & Shows

Summary
  • Dave Filoni, the writer, director, and showrunner, is now Lucasfilm's Chief Creative Officer, giving him a much larger control over the future of Star Wars.
  • Previously, Filoni would have a say on projects after they had already been developed, but in his new role, he is involved right from the beginning, shaping the future of Star Wars.
  • This promotion is a significant milestone in Filoni's career, as he will now have a say in every Star Wars TV and movie project, solidifying his position as George Lucas's true successor.
Star Wars' future is now firmly in the hands of Dave Filoni as the writer, director, and showrunner becomes the Chief Creative Officer of Lucasfilm. Filoni began his career in Star Wars way back in the early 2000s after being sought out by George Lucas himself as the overseer of Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Since then, Filoni's resume has only grown from the continued animated projects of Star Wars Rebels and Star Wars: The Bad Batch to live-action projects like The Mandalorian, Ahsoka, and an upcoming Star Wars movie.
