We’re weeks away from The Book of Boba Fett, and itching for more from The Mandalorian but there’s also the not inconsequential matter of Ahsoka to consider, and Dave Filoni is brim-of-the-hat deep in writing on that hotly anticipated series. It’s Ahsoka, a character close – possibly the closest – to Filoni’s heart, and the responsibility of that isn’t lost on him.

“It’s thrilling, I gotta tell you,” he Filoni of the scripting process. “It’s something you imagine doing for a long time. And then it’s kind of startling when you’re sitting there, and now you have to do it.”
As you’d imagine, the show is offering him the chance to tell an Ahsoka story he’s always wanted to tell – with some new additions. “I thought of this adventure for Ahsoka for a long time, and it’s interesting to see how it’s evolved,” he says. “Years ago, I never would have imagined that it was sprung from a branch of a tree that had anything to do with a guy [like] Din Djarin, or a child that looks like Yoda. It’s a great lesson for me on how, when you have other creatives like Jon Favreau, they can help lend such dimension and depth to what you’re doing.”
