With the fifth season of The Clone Wars - which won Emmys for Outstanding Special Class Animated Program and Outstanding Performer in an Animated Program for guest star David Tennant - hitting Blu-ray and DVD today, spoke with Filoni about how the many game-changing story beats of the year came to be, why a break from Darth Maul is important, and what it would take to get a New York Rangers reference into the show. Currently, Filoni is serving as executive producer on the highly anticipated Star Wars Rebels animated series, which explores the time period between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope, and is also overseeing the completion of select final episodes of The Clone Wars. ThatвЂ™s all largely due to supervising director Dave Filoni, a gifted artist, writer, and director who guided the series, and whose ability to combine visual spectacle with witty dialogue and high-stakes, emotional drama was essential to the showвЂ™s success. Perhaps most significantly, it kept Star Wars alive for older fans and introduced the world of Jedi, Sith, and starfighters to a generation of new ones. The show introduced major new characters like Ahsoka Tano, Savage Opress, and Mother Talzin, while further developing the sagaвЂ™s icons and backstory, including the integral friendship of Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi.
