[i]Dave Filoni: It’s a chance for us to explore a lot of things that George finally wanted to get around to. He’s not restricted to having to tell the complete cycle of six films that he really wanted to finish. Now, we’ve got the opportunity and he’s got the time, and it’s pretty exciting.
DF: I think one thing you find is that Star Wars is hugely popular — you look out and see all the fans. One thing George was curious about was: what’s its viability across different markets? It’s a huge film series, but how would it be approached as an animated series? I think Genndy and his team really proved that fans are hungry for Star Wars in many different forms and many different ways. That got George excited after he saw the response from the fans.
SS: Of course, it’s a luxury having a 30-minute slot as opposed to a 3-minute slot. What can you do in that 30 minutes?
CW: You’ve got the ability to really tell full narrative stories, get to know characters, explore themes. It’s a fantastic venue for us to explore the Star Wars universe further.
SS: So each show is unique but some of them are part of a broader story arc?
CW: Yes. The episodes are all written and produced as stand-alones, however some of them are two-parters, some are three-parters, and have an overarching narrative. You can tune in on any episode and know what the story is.
SS: What exactly is the story of the movie and also of the series?
DF: Boy, I’d love to talk about that.
SS: We can at least say…
CW: He’s not allowed.
DF: They never let me talk about that stuff. What’s great is…. as a fan myself, we get to explore even outside the movies and the storyline in the film, a lot of the characters I know fans like, that were just in the background. Boy, see, then I want to name one, and then I give something away.
CW: You can name one–
DF: It’s a great chance to explore other characters and get into it. I think George mentioned Kit Fisto. I have a lot of friends [who are] huge Kit Fisto fans, so getting to put Kit Fisto into an entire episode is very exciting.
SS: So the movie itself is a self-contained story?
CW: Yes, it is a self-contained story, and we really can’t share the plot yet, but soon.
SS: Such teases.
DF: If I can say a small thing…
SS: That’s where we meet Ahsoka.
DF: Yeah, we meet Ahsoka, and it’s an important element to the entire arc of what’s going on in the Clone Wars. What happens in the film will set you up for a lot of things that will happen in the series. So once you watch this, you’ll see that the stage is set and you’ll have a new interesting thing to talk about.
CW: We can talk about story development and how we came about the series. The thing about this show was we have written it for both the die-hard fan and the new fan. We worked really hard to make this for a broad audience. We have somebody in the audience who played a huge role in that. His name is Henry Gilroy. He was our story editor.
SS: Is Henry here? Henry, will you stand up?
CW: He did a fantastic job! It was a really… when I came on-board, for me, I… I love Star Wars, but Henry and Dave are walking encyclopedias. They are the true die-hard fan. It was a really interesting dynamic between the three of us.
DF: Yeah, it sure was. Because Henry and I can get together, and we start talking about a lot of things, and for Catherine, it would become a secret language! Because we’ll talk… one of concerns Henry and I had was with the existing material. So, I’d say, Henry, what about Sora Bulq? What are we going to do about that? Quinlan Vos? We’ve got these problems: the Dark Woman running around. We’d have a lot of things to talk about, and we’d look across the table, and CW’s like…. what are you guys talking about? I didn’t see that in the movie. So, we would run a lot of plotlines, and then we’d bounce them off Catherine, and ask, would you get that? Is that coming across? And she would say, no, that doesn’t come across at all. So it was a good way to kind of beat up ideas amongst the three of us, and then, really, you’d put it before George, and George comes down and says, “Guys? What are you doing? That’s not Star Wars,” or “That is Star Wars.” That was, in the end, the best education always was George. That was a critical part of the writing in the end.

So does this mean we won't be getting EU material in the Clone Wars? Or was Catherine just making sure that if there is EU material, it isn't confusing for people who don't read the EU?

The latter- they use her to gauge how a casual viewer would react to certain plotlines, to make sure the intent of the scene isn't lost if you are only familiar with the films.

SS: What has been George’s involvement in this? I think it turned out to be a lot more than he expected.
CW: When I originally came on, I was told that we may see him two or three times a year. We generally see him once a week. He has gotten extremely engaged over time as we got the show up and running. He’s of course the creator and the executive producer. He works with us on all key phases of the production. He developed it with us. He signed off on the look. And he’s very involved in all aspects of story.
DF: I’ve gotten a break lately, because he’s working on another movie. That Indiana Jones thing. That’s a relief for me. There’s a really good director on that one, but I hear he gets notes like I do. So that’s kind of a relief. Yeah, George is heavily involved. What was great for the team was that as we started out, George wasn’t sure what we were going to be able to do, but the gang has always been committed to making this as much like Star Wars as we possibly can. We didn’t care that it was on television. We didn’t care that we had limitations. We just said, let’s just go for it. So the more we did, the more he responded to it, and the more he challenged us. Every time he challenges, the crew just comes through, and it really gotten him involved.

Ok good. It's great how Henry and Dave are so big Star Wars fans. I can tell the Clone Wars is going to be great!

You know what, I had just finished reading the entire article before continuing down this thread and this was the one line I was going to highlight ... but you beat me to it. We heard awhile ago how George became much more involved with this series but it's awesome to hear a direct and clear amount of just how much he's invested into this production. Very cool.

Here is a Clone Wars theatrical poster design I have been working on:
That's great, man! Where'd you get that picture of Palpatine? Or the clones? That's really cool, dude! Great job!
I actually created the Palpatine picture myself.
It is a digital painting that I did in Photoshop based on this sculpture:

Here is the finished image:
As for the clones, the images came from toy packages:

Agreed. The entire interview was pretty cool, even though we've heard much of it before. I love the fact they bring up characters like Sora Bulq and Quinlan Vos; it's good to know Filoni is a huge SW geek.
I love the "PLO KOOL" stamp as well. 
It's also good that Lucas is involved, but not running the project IMHO; giving general advice is great, so long as he's not doing the actual writing/direction. Let the SW geeks carry his shield for a while...

I couldn't agree more. The SW universe is perhaps the greatest story/idea in recent memory. The universe has so much potential for great stories. But while GL clearly has created an amazing universe and is a genius at the macro level, I think the prequels have proven that he's somewhat lacking when it comes down to giving us the details of the SW universe. His set up is great, but is execution leaves much to be desired.
I think the CW set-up is an ideal one. GL there to provide the sweeping ideas and the overarching storylines, but others in place to handle the details like dialogue, continuity and actual story-telling.
That's why Indiana Jones works so well. It may be GL's ideas, but Spielberg handles the directing.

Dave really comes off as a true SW geek, doesn't he? I personally think that's awesome. It adds a fun and relaxed feeling knowing that somebody with such ... geekiness for lack of a better term ... is behind the series. Who really knows, but I bet we'll have quite a few little quirks/cameos that Dave and the others throw into the CW series.

I think that Star Wars is in great hands with Dave behind the wheel. George has expressed that he's teaching people how to make Star Wars. His involvement in this definitely expresses that and I'm definitely happy as a Star Wars fan that he's teaching fellow Star Wars geeks how to carry the torch.
