As we near 2021 and look back at a disjointed but Star Wars-packed year, Dave Filoni posted this message yesterday, thanking his stellar crews on The Mandalorian and The Clone Wars, the fans and offering a piece of wisdom given to him by his mentor and ours, George Lucas.

Hopefully we’ve helped you get your daily fix of Star Wars news this year, something which we pursue 24/7 and which certainly makes us happy.
