In a recent interview with Dagobah Dispatch, Ahsoka showrunner and creator Dave Filoni has provided an update about how production on the series is going, and called the experience “everything I could hope for.”
“Oh, it’s fantastic,” Filoni revealed. “I mean, it’s everything I could hope for. I never dreamed of [running a live-action series] as I was learning over the years. But to have a character that’s just come up over the years with a lot of fans as they’ve grown up and now she’s at the point where we can do this, it’s wonderful to be this same person guiding it across the different mediums, I think lends a consistency to the character that’s very uncommon.”
“A lot of times when you’re an animator, you watch your creation kind of spin-off and it’s taken by other people, you never know,” Filoni continued. “And you want to take care of these characters because you know them so well and it’s a really unique situation we’re in, but it’s awesome. There’s no other way to put it. The simple answer is just, ‘Yeah, it’s awesome.'”
Star Wars: Ahsoka, written and executive produced by Dave Filoni, with Jon Favreau executive producing too, it is expected to debut on Disney+ in 2023.
