Dave Filoni Talks With CBR

Posted By Mike on October 8, 2008

Dave Filoni continues to make the publicity rounds for The Clone Wars. His most recent interview is with Comic Book Resources and though you can see an excerpt below, you can check out the full interview here.



Do you consider ?The Clone Wars? canon or part of the Expanded Universe? Is the old Cartoon Network show canon? How do the two relate and where do the two series fit in the Star Wars Universe?

That?s one of the biggest debates in Star Wars, what counts? The idea of what is canon? When I talk to George I know that he considers his movies, this series and his live-action series canon. And yet as a fan, I bring him a lot of information that is in the Expanded Universe and say, well this was done and this was done too. I get that information in front of him to see how he wants to use it or review it. I?ll try to add little touches and things that I know that the fans that are well versed in the Expanded Universe will know; what we can work in from the Expanded Universe really does gel.

But there?s never an implicit connection between the micro-series that Cartoon Network did previously and the series that we?re doing now. I personally as a fan never think of it as discrediting any of the other material, it?s just that other material is from a different point of view, a different look at the war and take on the war. It?s an ever-Expanding Universe in a lot of ways.



Will there be episodes done from different points of view, maybe seen through the eyes of the Separatists?

An episode from the Separatist?s point of view, I think, is a great idea and it?s something we?ve played around with. We?ve gotten close to doing that. But we haven?t done one that?s particularly, a day in the life of General Grievous, or everything from a Battle Droid?s point of view, though we?ve discussed it. I think one of the nice things about doing a series is that we can use these different points of view, which I think is important and it really ties in with something Obi-Wan Kenobi always says, ?The truth we cling to depends largely on our own point of view.? Well, what is this Separatist?s point of view? Because I always thought as a fan that it was interesting that Dooku claimed that the Senate was corrupt, that his being a separatist is a completely just cause. Well, he?s telling the truth. From a certain point of view, the Senate is corrupt. I think that I?m very open to telling those stories and figuring out the best way to do one like that."
