From Project Contributor to Creative Leader
Filoni explained, "In the past, in a lot of projects I would be brought into it, I would see it after it had already developed a good ways… In this new role, it’s opened up to basically everything that’s going on. When we’re planning the future of what we’re doing now, I’m involved at the inception phase."
He emphasized that he's not there to dictate, but rather to assist in telling the best story possible. Filoni even joked, "I need to be a help across the galaxy here, like a part of a Jedi Council almost… Literally, hours now of Star Wars storytelling I have done. See… I even phrased that like Yoda."
A Closer Collaboration

This new position allows Filoni to have a greater influence on the direction of the beloved sci-fi universe.
