A new report from LRM Online says that Dave Filoni is being tapped to oversee a connected universe of Star Wars series’ with a central storyline.
The Mandalorian was a massive success for Disney+, the streamer has already wrapped production on the highly anticipated second season, with a third already in early development, so it is not surprising that Disney and Lucasfilm want to expand on their Star Wars content on Disney+. According to LRM Online, the studio is drawing inspiration from the hit HBO series Game of Thrones.
Reportedly the connected universe will be comprised of multiple series including The Mandalorian, a live-action Ahsoka Tano series, starring Rosario Dawson (makes her debut in season two of The Mandalorian), a live-action Boba Fett series, a live-action Ezra Bridger/Grand Admiral Thrawn series and an unannounced series which I’m led to believe is the series being developed by Russian Doll co-creator Leslye Headland.
As of now, Lucasfilm has yet to confirm this news, LRM Online has a decent track record, but it should be taken as rumor now. Many insiders have reported on some of these series recently and Filoni is expected to be a big part of Lucasfilm’s plan moving forward, so don’t be shocked if this news gets confirmed down the line.
