Why Dave Filoni Should NOT Run Lucasfilm
Dave Filoni is considered by many Star Wars fans to be George Lucas’s Padawan ever since he first appeared on the scene by the maker's side. Working on great works like The Clone Wars and Rebels, he has had his hand in many of the creative aspects within the Star Wars Universe.
