Lucasfilm President takes up seemingly impossible task of uniting every generation of Stars Wars fans

From the beginning of its journey decades ago, Star Wars has become a worldwide phenomenon through the years with its multiple projects. Each and every project of the franchise has contributed to the fandom getting bigger and bigger.

However, it cannot be denied that even though Star Wars boasts a huge fandom, it is divided into multiple generations, each having their own preferences. In a recent D23 panel for Worldbuilders, Dave Filoni unveiled his plans to unite the generations of fans of the franchise.

Dave Filoni’s plans for Star Wars fans and more

While speaking at the panel, co-president of Star Wars, Dave Filoni, pointed out the “several different generations” of fans of the franchise. He noted that there are some fans who enjoy the original trilogy, while some are more inclined towards the prequel and sequel trilogies.

There are many fans of the “Clone Wars” and the “expanded universe” as well. As these fans are of different generations and also have “different interests”. Hence, for the future of the franchise, Dave Filoni is eager to “bring them all together”. He also adds that he is “always” looking at ways that are “going to serve all these different interests” of the fandom.

As the fans have the “common love” towards the Star Wars franchise, it is significant to bring the fans of different generations together. Though Dave Filoni has plans to unite the different generations of the fans together, it cannot be denied that the path to this is not going to be an easy one. It will be intriguing to see how Filoni manages to bring the generations of fans together in the upcoming projects of the franchise.

Several projects are already lined up for the franchise. For the franchise’s 2027 slate, Ashoka Season 2 has been confirmed. The first season of the series had an immense positive response from the viewers, who have now been eagerly waiting for the upcoming storylines.

The series dives into the story of Maul and his journey to bring back the criminal world. Though there is no official release date for the second season of this series, Matt Michnovetz, the head writer and executive producer for the series, revealed that the second season will drop next year.

It must also be noted that the franchise will celebrate its 50th anniversary next year, which makes the year even more crucial for the fans. To celebrate this milestone of the franchise, the viewers will be able to experience the original 1977 movie once again at the theaters.
