Many happy returns to Dave Filoni, the prolific Executive Creative Director at Lucasfilm who’s passion, understanding and love for the saga has brought us The Clone Wars, Rebels, Resistance, The Mandalorian, The Bad Batch and up ahead The Book of Boba Fett, Ahsoka and more. What would the Star Wars landscape look like if he hadn’t been brought into the company all those years ago? Doesn’t bear thinking about.

To prove what a forward thinking fellow he is, check out these images of Dave at Celebration Anaheim in 2015, trying out the Star Wars: Battlefront 2 experience – Trapper Wolf, before there was a Trapper Wolf.
