We have other stories that are taking place that we want to make sure are consistent. And Dave’s really the pivot point for all of it.
Jon Favreau revealed their process involves meticulous world-building, which in fact led them to make Ahsoka and Skeleton Crew. He explained,
It was pretty fresh snow for a while, you know? You had the clues from what we knew from the movies that came before this. We know what’s happening after and we knew The Clone Wars. And then there’s even EU material — Legends — that have been embraced by the fans. So, we want to account for everything and take everything into consideration.
One thing is for sure, given how giant the galaxy of Star Wars is, it will never lose its hype, and with these two at the helm, fans can be assured that their beloved franchise is in excellent hands.
