Dave Filoni says his untitled live-action Star Wars movie has been in development for a long time because the events of the Star Wars shows not only coincide with but change the events of the film.
“It’s a long development, and one of the reasons is why is I like to work on very long arcs. And I try to factor in all the things that I’m creating simultaneously and looking at them and saying, ‘Well, how do we do unique things? What are unique set pieces? Where is the story going? What is the point of the story?'" Filoni told Collider. "I ask myself these questions, and I have general outlines for all these things, general timelines for all these things, and I keep moving the pieces on the board like a big strategy [game]."
