Dave Filoni Is Having a “Thrilling” Time Writing ‘Ahsoka’
The massive success of The Mandalorian on Disney+ has led to both Boba Fett and Ahsoka Tano receiving their own respective series, and now the show’s creator Dave Filoni has updated fans on the writing process behind the Rosario Dawson-starring show. “It’s thrilling, I got to tell you,” Filoni told Empire. “It’s something you imagine doing for a long time. And then it’s kind of startling when you’re sitting there, and now you have to do it.” “I thought of this adventure for Ahsoka for a long time, and it’s interesting to see how it’s evolved,” he added. “Years ago, I never would have imagined that it was sprung from a branch of a tree that had anything to do with a guy [like] Din Djarin, or a child that looks like Yoda.
