While we’ve already seen his creative hand at work, the Disney+ Star Wars miniseries seem to be mounting in ways that intersect and merge with each other. Now that Filoni has the trust and ability to manipulate the Star Wars universe, he can exert his influence in big ways. Once Filoni realized this wasn’t a joke, his insane fanboy side kicked in, and “that same producer told Filoni that she wanted to hang up on him.” But they had already scheduled the interview. Filoni was so convinced it was a prank call that he was very sarcastic with the person on the phone, but his disbelief saved him in the end. While it’s good to know that the people who produce SpongeBob have a sense of humor, his attitude almost cost him the job. "I was working at Nickelodeon, and somebody called from Lucasfilm Animation, and I'm like, 'There's no Lucasfilm Animation.' I thought I had been just so excited about Revenge of the Sith coming out and talking about it all the time that the guys from SpongeBob were just, you know, busting my chops over Star Wars."

And just like every hero does, he refused it metaphorically, that is. While working on the iconic 2D animation is when he got his call to adventure. But some may also know that he directed the first season of Avatar: The Last Airbender. And now, this modest boy from Pittsburg is the ruler of his own galaxy.ĭave Filoni started his career working in the art department for animated shows like King of the Hill, Teamo Supremo, and Kim Possible. The hero triumphs over incredible challenges, making him the master of two worlds. When Disney bought Star Wars in 2012 and Lucas stepped away from the world, Filoni might not have expected to become the new Lucas.
While his relationship with George Lucas has always been described as being like a padawan to a Jedi master. Walking the path of his own Hero’s Journey, Dave Filoni has now become the creative force behind most things Star Wars.įiloni likely had no idea he was meant to be inheriting such a prominent position when he was chosen for the job. And when he was found to be worthy, he was thrown into a world of infinite possibility. He was called to meet George Lucas and couldn’t believe it when it happened. His story of joining the Star Wars universe has become genuinely similar to the tale of Luke Skywalker himself. It’s been common knowledge for the past couple of years that Dave Filoni is the prime inheritor of the magic of George Lucas.
