Star Wars: The Clone Wars has been watched by many people, including Star Wars creator George Lucas. Does the man who started this beloved franchise like what he’s seeing? According to the voice of Darth Maul, Sam Witwer; he does! The Clone Wars is on its final season and Lucas has reportedly been in contact with the executive producer, Dave Filoni. Witwer expresses:
“George [Lucas] has been calling Dave and giving him nice little comments on the episodes,” Witwer says. “I really, really hope we get some positive feedback from the maker himself when this comes out. This show has such a special place in George’s heart. He was so happy when he was making this show, and we were so happy to be implementing it for him…you really did just get a directive from George, and that directive got discussed and translated by Dave Filoni, and then it went right to the actors, animators, lighters, everything. It just got done. That’s the fun of watching the Siege of Mandalore, because it just feels pure in its intention… It’s so cool that this is the last George Lucas produced Star Wars. The last Star Wars that has George’s fingerprints on it. I truly loved to hear that George was reacting well to [the final season of The Clone Wars]. And I’m happy to hear that he likes how Clone Wars is going so far this season and I really hope he likes our finale because that’s where it all counts.”
Lucas’ involvement in the Star Wars world will end with The Clone Wars. He’ll still be getting “created by” and executive producer” credits, but hey – if you could kick back and collect money, wouldn’t you? Lucas may have involved in The Clone Wars, but didn’t have any involvement in The Rise of Skywalker.
