George Lucas Has Been Sharing His Thoughts on The Final Season of STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS with Dave Filoni
For those of you who have been wondering what George Lucas has thought about the final season of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, he has been watching and he has reached out to executive producer Dave Filoni to share his thoughts.
Sam Witwer, the voice actor who plays Darth Maul, is the one who revealed that Lucas has been in contact with Filoni throughout the season. The Clone Wars was Lucas’s baby, this was the last Star Wars project he created and had his hands in before Disney bought Lucasfilm and now it’s finally coming to an end. Witwer said:
“George [Lucas] has been calling Dave and giving him nice little comments on the episodes. I really, really hope we get some positive feedback from the maker himself when this comes out. This show has such a special place in George’s heart. He was so happy when he was making this show, and we were so happy to be implementing it for him…you really did just get a directive from George, and that directive got discussed and translated by Dave Filoni, and then it went right to the actors, animators, lighters, everything. It just got done. That’s the fun of watching the Siege of Mandalore, because it just feels pure in its intention… It’s so cool that this is the last George Lucas produced Star Wars. The last Star Wars that has George’s fingerprints on it. I truly loved to hear that George was reacting well to [the final season of The Clone Wars]. And I’m happy to hear that he likes how Clone Wars is going so far this season and I really hope he likes our finale because that’s where it all counts.”
I can’t help but think that Lucas is much happier with how The Clone Wars series is ending than he was with the final Star Wars trilogy. Lucas created something so incredible and iconic with Star Wars, I imagine that wasn’t easy for him to let go of, even for $4 billion. Sometimes I wonder if he has any regrets.
If you’ve been watching the final season of The Clone Wars, what have you thought about it! Are you happy with how the story is playing out?
