Dave Filoni Talks ‘Rogue One’ and ‘Rebels’ Future Connection

dave-filoni-850x478

Empire Online caught up with Rebels creator Dave Filoni to discuss the third season of Star Wars Rebels, what’s on the horizon and if the show could possibly align with future Star Wars films. Read on for more!

 

 

Rebels creator Dave Filoni, who is now “overseeing all aspects of Star Wars Rebels production as Executive Producer and occasionally directing episodes” already has fans going nuts in the third Disney XD season. With the introduction of Grand Admiral Thrawn, the return of a certain Sith Lord and the return of some notoriously bad guys, Ezra and the crew of the Ghost must work together in order to slow a tyrannical Empire’s control over the galaxy.

 

In a recent Empire Online interview, Dave Filoni spoke about the new series of Star Wars Rebels, and commented on how he plans to align the TV show to the Star Wars movieverse.

How close are you to the time of Rogue One? Will any aspects of Rogue One will be connected to the show in the third season?

I would say that there will be things that definitely have influenced each other and have been definitely accounted for. Something that I’ve been interested in, is I’ve been aware of kind of the look of the film and the characters in the film for a while. If you look at Rogue One, it’s a much more gritty and very realistic-looking world and Rebels is a much more, when it starts out, colorful world. I’ve been slowly adapting, because I’ve been in the know, so that as we get closer to each other, things are going to naturally line up. I think our show will always be a bit more colorful, but it’s meant to be able to ingest the look of certain things that are happening in the film. I think that will be a lot of fun for people.

Season three has just begun. What can you say about season three without saying anything, because that’s the way the game is played?

That has been the last twelve years of my life: How do you get people excited without revealing anything? For me, the fact that Darth Maul will be back is very exciting to people. I think that’s something to look forward to, because he became such a more dimensional, interesting character when we had him in Clone Wars and I thought Sam Witwer played him brilliantly last year. So well that we want to do more with him and really get into why is he there? Why was that important to introduce him? That’s kind of a big part of what’s going to be happening in season three.

 

Holocron 02

 

Then you have the consequences for Ezra with his actions in the last season and the discovery of this holocron, this ancient Sith knowledge. That’s always a difficult temptation for a young person that sees his friends in trouble or in need. The guilt he might feel over what’s happened to his friends. Kanan was injured and Ahsoka is missing in action. They didn’t come off with a complete victory at the end of last season. It’s a transitional moment. Take Fulcrum, the name of what Ahsoka was known as: It’s a fulcrum point for the whole thing, because as we came back, everybody was a little bit older. We jumped time a little bit. Things have been happening and people have started to change. That’s what’s very exciting.

    I hate what they did to Maul. They took a silent assassin and turned him to a monologuing one note villain very much suited for Saturday morning cartoons. What made Maul so awesome in Phantom Menace was his sheer animalistic presence. He was a hunter who did not need to waste time with words.

      Look at it with George Lucas eyes – a it is “that other Star Wars universe”. Ignore all that “canon” stamps – it is there to milk more money from fanboys – and enjoy the show as it really is – a cartoon for kids! You will be more happy and your silent hunting dog Maul sill remain the same, including chopped in tw pieces and rotting in some pitt on Naboo….

        George Lucas did TCW and did the story with Maul coming back. He considers TCW part of his canon.

      True that. Rebels biggest failing in my mind is devaluing characters by unecessarily voiding and avoiding deaths. It’s disrespectful for the characters, the story and the audience.

      @tuaregmahoma:disqus makes a good point though and I’ll still tune in and just retain my movie-head-canon…

        It wasn’t Rebels that did that, it was The Clone Wars and it was George Lucas’ idea to bring Maul back.

      I think that’s just it, at the time..Maul was just a silent assasin. Nothing more, nothing less. He believed his destiny lied with his master and the Sith getting their revenge against the Jedi; ambition for this guy was limited, believing only in the way of the Sith without question.

      Fast foward to Rebels, the dude has been through a lot…like A LOT. Plus he’s mainly on his own now, no master to guide him or an army to command. Although he still craves revenge, Maul has had to achieve his goals through more ambitious and calculative ways as appose to just “killing his next target”.
      I prefer Rebels version of the character, TPM Darth Maul was bad ass, but was lacking serious personality and little depth. His character and personality had to change in order to adapt and achieve his ultimate desire.

        I think what was appealing about him was that we didn’t know anything about him. Obi Wan said something like ‘what was that creature’ when they first encountered him. He was a scary-ass dude and got chopped in half and the movie series moved on. I don’t think we needed him back, or that he needed to develop beyond what he was. Same with Bobba Fett. Sometimes the less you know the better, not everything needs to be fully fleshed out.

        That said, as someone before me mentioned here; the clone wars and rebels are just cartoons. I don’t get wound up by it, but I’ve said before that spider-legs maul was a bit silly, but then those cartoons are there to get kids into star wars so they’ll buy the merchandise and watch the movies. Disney might consider it all canon, but I’m not really invested in them enough to watch many of them. However, some of the clone wars episodes I’ve seen were very good.

          That’s fair, I find you have to look at the extended canon outside of the movies a certain way to enjoy it, or in some cases see it the same way as the movies.

          Someone here mentioned that there is a big difference when comparing Mauls character to Boba Fett; he was a main villain. It’s easier to accept Boba’s lack of character and silence because he was more of a side character, with Maul you would expect to see more depth and background to the guy, much like Vader, Kylo or any other villain.

          In the end I get your opinion, but I differ in a sense that while mystery is great, I eventually like to know more about a characters history or background, it just makes me appreciate the character more for why they exist in the first place.

          I’m sort of with you on this. As I’ve mentioned before, I actually liked what they did with Maul, but I probably wouldn’t have gone in that direction. I was pretty miffed when I heard about him coming back to the universe; especially after being chopped in half. I agree that some characters are better left as interesting and fleeting glimpses. I hated how Fett was integrated into the Prequels. It was silly. But yeah, as much as I enjoy most of the Clone Wars and Rebels, they just don’t carry as much weight for me as do the feature films. I know they’re defined as canon, but I approach things a bit differently in the animated shows than I do with the films.

        I get that he is jaded but just to get a whole new personality is a little crazy to me. I would have much rather seen him go back to his old assassin ways.

          It’s not a whole new personality. It’s a personality. He was a subservient assassin in TPM. There was no room for him to be seen as a character. TCW allowed for that to be explored.

            He had personality. He was a no nonsense assassin that valued efficiency and harbored a huge hatred for the Jedi. He was also arrogant. He showed all of these traits through his actions. I personally do not need him to monologue these things to me in order to get them.

            I don’t think anyone needs monologues to “get him”. But really, he was a pretty flat character in TPM. He was rad, but there wasn’t a whole lot to him. I wasn’t a huge fan of his return, but that has more to do with me not liking villains returning from the dead (yes, I get that according to the story he wasn’t dead). That all being said, what they ended up doing with the character turned out pretty interesting and it’s great to see him rounded out a bit more.

And then provide relevant points to counter what you’ve managed to string together into a few coherent sentences.

            Then, you make personal attacks when you’re unable to continue argue the points you are trying to make about Darth Maul being fail after he was granted a story line, personality, and relevance to the over arching story of Star Wars.

            You came to a Star Wars fan site and expressed an opinion that was unpopular in a forum beneath an article. People engaged you in debate about this opinion; that’s what happens in a forum.

            You are entitled to express your opinion. The forum goers are entitled to engage you on it and express their own.

            You were unable to respond to those who had offered their own opinions in an adult manner and started to vomit forth childish and ineffective insults to those who didn’t agree with you.

            Your point, which at the beginning of this magical journey of devolution was well thought-out and explained is now lost to simple-minded trolling you have failed to execute in a way for you to retain any semblance of face or integrity here.

            You’re welcome to make up a new accusation, or to try and revise what you were saying or attempting to accomplish with this discussion, AGAIN, if you’d like.

            But it just makes you look worse than you already do for having tried to salvage what you turned from an opinionated discussion into a pointless, droll, and pedestrian internet argument.

            Congrats. You have succeeded at nothing but making your own self look silly. Again, and again, and yes, again. It’s an Internet Face Plant Hat Trick.

            Now really, time to close up this waste of time and space and try engaging the community here in a manner that isn’t disrespectful.

      I disagree with what you say. In EPI Maul was a cool looking one dimensional character. He was flat as a board. For now he gain motivation, real characterization with deep background, purpose to fight and history.

        He does not need to monologue to show his characterization. I guess it is a kid’s show so they just have to spell everything out for them but if that is what Maul is to you now then that is cool.

          You’re right in that he doesn’t need to explain himself in a visual medium, “show don’t tell” and whatnot. But let’s be fair here, what did TPM show us about Maul? He was a skilled saber duelist using one of the most dangerous hand weapons we’d seen thus far, he’s clearly a skilled tracker as well, and yet he has no thoughts or feelings outside of “Yes, Master”. There’s another Star Wars villain that showed us these traits (minus the dueling), Boba Fett. The difference is that Maul was supposed to be the main villain, and Fett was always supposed to be a side character. So it’s okay that we don’t know much more about Fett, but we ARE supposed to know more about Maul.

            Wrong. The main villain was the phantom menace – Darth Sidious. Maul was nothing but a tool, the longer hand of Sidious.

          Lack of screen time, lack of characterization, that’s what I see. Thanks to TCW/REbels Maul is now fully grown….he is adult, not just a speechless killer. I see your point but Maul is not the Predator. You would liket to see him as the most brutal predator ever, but he is not. In EPI his charisma was nothing but his agression towards the jedi. We didnT see him as the ultimate hunter, but you would like to see him as a hunter. We didnT see him, as a predator, but you would liket to see him as a predator. I feel sorry because in EPI his charachter wasn’t used well. TCW/REbels by far the best thing that could have ever happened to Maul.

            Why was he iconic?

            He died in a movie and was wasted? He was replaced with an actor who did not do a very good job of portraying the character he was given crappy dialogue for.

            We also wondered wtf was up with George giving us Grandpa Sith.

            Maul looked cool. At the time. But time has not been kind to his make up. He doesn’t have the same impact he did back then visually and before the character was revived in Clone Wars and given an actual identity he was completely wasted.

            Why get excited when you watch Episode I for Maul when you know he’s just going to die at the end and serve absolutely no purpose in the film other than killing Qui-Gon?

            The pretension oozing out of your comment is thick as jam.

            You are correct. You haven’t come close to being much of anything but smug and opinionated. Far, far, away from something like clever.

            You my friend are a far, far, away from something even remotely close to competence.

            Competence? In relation to what? Now you’re not even making sense.

            Probably not making sense due to your lack of competence lol.

            And this comment proves that you didn’t know what you were talking about, either.

    Anyone see the new Plinkett review?

      1. Off topic.
      2. Yes, it was desperate, grasping and unfunny. They should not have come back. You can tell that TFA is much more well made and thus does not provide much fodder for their jokes. Without a decade of people complaining (like they had with the prequels), they can’t come up with much of their own.

        I personally think that TFA did show a lack of imagination and creativity. But even with that it was still entertaining. The fact that “Plinkett” had to devote half of it to rambling on about something called “Star Wars Ring Theory” spoke volumes. He would’ve done better with something like Star Trek Into Darkness IMO.

          I do think it lacked some of George’s more original planetscapes and aliens, but I found it to be creative in other ways.

          but the same people who worked on the prequels (art department) worked on TFA. Maybe they just lacked inspiration or guidance to trigger those truly original art pieces.

          Plinkett is even more out of ideas than the most uninspired idea in TFA

    I sure hope there is a connection between Rebels and Rogue One, it would be another connective tissue holding all the canon together. I know saw from the clone wars is in Rogue One, but since we’re so close to the same timeline I’d love to see a character pop up in Rebels.

      I guess capturing the very Y-Wings that would participate in the Death Star attack at Yavin just doesn’t do it for you, huh?

        Not a bit. That’s a reference to the orig trig, not the new upcoming movie. It’s extremely easy to throw in little nods like that anywhere in star wars, but expanding on characters in a different series so we can get backstory for them in the movie is a whole new level

          We’ve already had an episode that indicates Geonosis isn’t where the Death Star ended up being constructed.

          They won’t connect anything too directly since not everyone watches Rebels. The most you can hope for are the cameos, nods, and references.

            Well I figured since they pulled a character from the clone wars it wouldn’t hurt to have one of the rogue one crew show up in an episode of rebels on some whatever mission. I wouldn’t expect the movie to reference rebels at all, but the other way totally seems doable

          “expanding on characters in a different series so we can get backstory for them in the movie is a whole new level”

          I guess including Leia, Lando, Wedge, and others just doesn’t do it for you, huh?

    “He almost certainly didn’ t remember that in Jedi Leia remembered her mother.”

    I highly doubt that he completely forgot about it. Give me a break. More likely, it was brought to his attention at some point (if it even needed to be) and he just chose to disregard it. Also, Leia is Force sensitive. It’s quite likely that she retains some primitive, latent memories of Padme from before she was born or in the fleeting moments she spent with her. Remember, she tells Luke that she remembers, “just images really, feelings…” And that can certainly gel with what we end up with.

    I suppose Padme could have survived the Prequels only to die at some later date, but she had to die to really push Anakin over the edge; seemingly for good. Remember that the first thing Vader does when he comes to is ask the Emperor about Padme. Her death spiritually pushes him over the edge; again, seemingly never to return.

      Aaaah, the almighty Force, as usual, solve it everything, fill any plot hole. Before Revenge of the Sith all these years people thought that Leia’s mother died when she was a kid, not a newborn baby. Hell even the script was convinced about it. Organa’s handmaiden, right? And Leia was 4, right? Wrong, because continuity problems my butt. Again, I’ m happy fou whoever doesn’t care. And you know what? I am not a prequel hater, I am even George Lucas worshiper, go figure. I would rather see his vision of the future. But Padme dies at birth because she doesn’t want to live anymore, that will always be a fail and lazy writing.

        “…all these years people thought that Leia’s mother died when she was a kid, not a newborn baby.”

        So what? What does that have to do with anything? It’s lazy writing because people didn’t think that was what happened? That’s a lazy excuse.

        “But Padme dies at birth because she doesn’t want to live anymore, that will always be a fail and lazy writing.”

        You’re wrong. And the fact that she was dying because of some lack of the will to live is just what the droid told Yoda and Obi-Wan. I think it’s probably likely that her intertwined relationship with Anakin had something to do with that. Anakin’s turn to the dark side pulled something out of her that spiritually destroyed her. In a sense, they died together. It’s one of the Prequel’s more eloquent plot points, actually. But you’re likely to dismiss that as the Force filling another plot hole. But you’re not really giving the Force enough credit, which is silly because that’s really what moves this galaxy and differentiates it from other fictional worlds.

    You can believe that if you wish. It’s a matter of opinion. But Lucas certainly knew what he did with Maul. He also knew what he with Leia’s mother, but probably didn’t want to be hamstrung by an idea written in 1982.

    if anything, Maul’s return has given life to some terrific, imaginative new stories.

    I am sure us fanboys know more about the minutia of Star Wars than he does, but he remembers big things like Leia’s mother.

    Honestly, through all your grammatical errors, it feels like I am talking to a kid, so if you can’t make yourself legible and not insult people for liking something you don’t care, have a nice day, kid
