By Star Wars: Skeleton Crew
“Star Wars: Skeleton Crew” co-creators Jon Watts and Christopher Ford say that Dave Filoni was instrumental during the creation of the upcoming series, calling him a “figurative goalkeeper” who kept them to canon.
Watts says: “you feel like you can safely explore things creatively without making some huge canonical mistake” because Filoni was there to help. The series itself premieres on Disney+ in December. [Source: EW]
