Dave Filoni is currently overseeing a wonderful opportunity, steering characters he helped craft in animation into the live action realm. Ahsoka is in production, and clearly Filoni is having a dream of a time.

“Oh, it’s fantastic. 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, 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.'”
