Supervising Director Dave Filoni at his desk.
Recently, fans of The Clone Wars got a nice treat from Supervising Director Dave Filoni who answers questions on his Facebook page about the current season and things to come.
Here are some of the highlights. Be sure to follow Filoni on Facebook here.
Is there an endgame for the series in mind already? Do you know what the last episode or mini-series already is, it’s just a matter of how long will Cartoon Network let you take to get there? — Beej Powers
I always have an endgame in sight. George and I have discussed it, but we just keep writing more stories and finding new and exciting situations for the characters. New stories come along that change the end game, so it’s still evolving. We know we are on a collision course with Revenge of the Sith, but there are details surrounding the fate of certain characters that are still in discussion. This is an exciting time for the writing team, because big things are going to happen with significant characters.
Are to see a revolution on Mandalore. The Essential Atlas mentioned AWOL ARC trooper Alpha-02 “Spar” being the one who returns the Mandalorians to their warrior ways. Are we going to see this event AND more importantly Satine’s faction fate? — Pavel Klimes
What you saw in Season 4 with the Death Watch was just a small taste of what is to come. I think the Madalorians are involved in one of the best story arcs next season. A great deal is at stake and big things happen. As far as Spar, the clones and the Mandalorians go, you have to understand that in the film saga, and the TV series, clones don’t really identify with Mandalorians. The vast majority of clones never met Jango Fett, and the series has focused more on the clones having their own culture, rather than adopting a culture that they never really came in contact with. Satine will be returning and I promise you she will have bigger problems than tainted Moogan Tea this time.
Why wasn’t Cody at Obi’s funeral? Isn’t he is second in command? — Leonor Cardenas
In order to keep the nature of Obi-Wan’s mission as secret as possible, the Jedi Council assigned Cody to a mission so he could not attend. A fact that did not sit well with the Commander.
My question is simply weather Obi-Wan and Satine will be seeing each other, face-to-face once more. — Madison Sneddon
That’s a very thoughtful question Madison, so I will answer you. YES!
Are there any plans to convert General Grievous to Episode III, with his six fingered hands instead of four? — Bryce Martin
We have never updated Grievous since we did the original model but that’s overdue. Let me talk to Kilian and see what he says, but I think that’s a really good idea. The show has evolved, and maybe that should too.

Good questions and nice to know he cops to the tea as being a lame plot device. Wish they found a way to fit the Mandolorean culture into the clones though since Traviss’s books were so well writtten if a bit long.
Are the night sisters force sensitive
that would be cool they obviosly have powers but weather it is the force or not is a mystery
like the idea but it would be cool if the ending was the same as revenge of the sith because it would be a remake by drawings!
Yeah they should recreate revenge of the sith in clone wars form (aka cartoon) with modifications including extra scenes involving the other characters
I can’t wait for season 5…I’m a big fan of Mandalorians, Death Watch, Satine and of course the evil Pre Vizsla!
I’m more interested in the fate of the characters that we didn’t see in revenge of the with such as Ahsoka, Rex, Wolfe, Bariss Offee, Ventress, Savage Opress, Darth Mual, etc. than watching the Mandolors. Sure there pretty awesome but there fate doesn’t appear to be all that important. Plus I think its obvious that most of them probably die.
Bariss dies in episode 3 she’s the one riding next to luminara on the speeder bike and in wookipedia it says darthmaull survived but this might change.
Zach, that was Stass Allie on the speeder – she’s the cousin of Adi Gallia, and both were on the Jedi Council (Adi was originally killed by Grievous in the comics, but by Savage on Clone Wars).
Barriss was on Felucia, where Aayla Secura met her fate. She was overwhelmed with Battle Droid’s, which back her up in front of an AT-TE crawling towards her, and then shot her down. Luminara was gunned down by Clones on the Kashyyyk beach in plain sight of where Yoda was standing with Chewie and Tarfful. Both of those Order 66 deaths can be watched in the “Order 66 animatic” from the blu-ray set (similar to CGI, but generic-looking, with generic dialogue).
Hi, I have a question that many of fans may be asking to Mr. Feloni and Mr. Lucas since Clone Wars started on 2008, “Where is Durch Character, the first companion of Ventress in tartakovsky’s and Dark Horse comics ? ” Why he did not appears on this story ?
Hi Dave,
What happens to Rex, Wolfe, and Ahsoka
I would like to know that too but i think we might have to wait. And what will happen to Darth Maul?
Rex and Wollfe look so cool in there new suits.
how did the prop guys make the lightsaber hilts for the movies
There where flash lights the blade was edeited in after the Sences done so the same way u make a regular flash light
p.s. There is a web site where u can make your own personal light saber
Um..When will season 5 be out?Will it possibly will unleash Order 66????Hope you can reply to this! T y!(Thank u!
I know I’m dying here dave please hurry i can’t wait much longer the mystery of some characters fate like ahsoka, darth maul, and rex is kiling me
hi dave i was thinking about anakin obi wan and ahsoka i thought about for a season finale for season 5 the jeditemple gets raided by the separtists and anakin has to face his destiny and learn the truth about palpatine AKA sidious and if obi wan has to face the truth about sidious
Thats basically the third film near the end of it. they wont be doing that lol…I’d say perfect way for ahsoka to die is to die by the hands of Count Dooku or General Grevious. nuff said.
Can we have several questions
1. Will we see Gen Grievous vs Dart Maul and Savage.
2. Will we see Bullwark fleet.
3. Will we see how is Qymaen-jai-Sheelal became gen. Grievous
and last
4. Will we see The Devastation the sistership of the Malevolence.
I’m glad you said Quimaen Jai Sheelal instead of ‘Kalee Grievous’ and I have also heard of the Devastation in my incredible vehicals book I have and I hope Grievous absoloutely kills Savage Opress and injures Darth Maul.
i think that all of that would be so cool
hi dave what happens to Asoka and rex? and what does it mean when palpatine trys to turn anakin to the dark side twice?
will padme be preg in this season if she is plz plz plz dont let her die and one thing i need to ask will ahsoka ever find out about anakin and padme and if anakin turns to the dark side will obiwan ahsoka and padme have a epic fight and bring him back to the good side ive seen the movie but i was wounder can you change some thing like how you broght darth maul back to life
padme will not be pregors in this season, or she wont have a bump at least due to the fact that anakin was gone for a long while in revenge of the sith on a mission to rescue palpatine and when he returns to coruscant, he finds out shes pregnant from there. so mainly it will be unknown. Maybe she will be and the bump wont be shown, maybe she wont be, that answer will be most likely unknown for a long while. sorry to bring your hopes down.
1. its the tv show is for kids around 7 so i don’t think that will happen to padme. 2. the tv show is not going to follow the movies at all.
Sorry, but Padmé will not be pregnant in Clone Wars. And they’re not going to redo that whole Revenge of the Sith scene. Although, now I kind of wish they would. That’s a really cool idea!
how vil the season 5 came out on tv ??
will cody by evil ? wen they order – order 66
Have you seen Revenge of the Sith, obviously not because Codi gave the command to shoot down Kenobi at Utapau
hi dave, i will just say that you are very great !!
and will al of the clones by evil in order – 66
I was wondering if there will be any other major Separatist leaders in season 5 like Shu Mai if the commerce guild or passel argente of the corporate alliance since we briefly saw wat tambour and nute gunray in season 1.
I really want to know this, it’s a major question; Who is stronger, General Grievous or Assaj Ventress. I’ve tried many sites and I haven’t had a proper answer. The battle in Massacre was unjustified because Grievous still had 3 lightsabers left and could have got up very easily and would’ve continued the duel.
i was wondering that same question too because ventress has force but Greivous is stronger physically but weaker mentally and he has more lightsabers
Also, Grievous is a better fighter than Ventress because he knows all the 7 techniques of saberfighting (Makashi, Vaapaad, Ataru, Soresu, Shi-cho, Niman, Shien)
And Grievous has got the speed of a machine and he has killed 18 Jedi and Ventress has killed none
And Grievous is much tougher than Ventress mentally, HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT FANMAN, Grievous can analyse every saber fighting style, he is a tactical genious in battle and he is one of the best pilots in the galaxy.
By the way, here is a list of every jedi General Grievous has killed:
1. Nahdar Vebb
2. Jmmarr
3. Nystamall
4. Puroth
5. T’chooka D’oon
6. B’dard Tone
7. Flynn Kybo
8. Daakman Barrek
9. Sha’a Gi
10. Tarr Seirr
11. Soon Baytes
12. Adi Gallia
13. Pablo-Jill
14. L’lacielo Sageon
15. Roth-Del Masona
16. B’ink Utrilia
17. Roron Corobb
18. Foul Moudama
In general, who do you think is tougher, I think Grievous, EVERYONE SUBSCRIBE TO THIS PLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.
Obviously Ashoka and Rex and Wolfe have to die or quit because they don’t appear in Star Wars III Revenge of the Sith.
I think that if Ahsoka doesn’t die se will have to be expelled from the Jedi Order because i doubt she would ever quit and there are many possible ways of death such as order 66, sacrificing herself for the Jedi, etc. i have searched many sites for her fate but have come up with nothing.
I think you made a goof-up! How is it that Onaconda Farr is killed in season 2 “Senator Murders” and is in Season 3 “Pursuit of Peace” helping Padme for the vote against the bill for more clones? Was he revived or did they go back in time?
i noticed that too and I’m wondering if he is dead or not its possible that season 5 will give us the answer to that question
Hey Dave I have a couple questions about season 5 and im pretty sure u have heard this already but does ahsoka and lux’s romance continue? And if so does this involve other possible endings for ahsoka?
Hello Dave, I have an idea for Ahsoka, Grievous could be the one who kills her angering Anakin for Ep 3 showing why he killed the separatist leaders so mercilesly, please reply.
I think that’s a fantastic idea, by the way, I’m not Dave, it would be so awesome if Grievous kills someone worthy of recognition. Thomas Capecci-I hope your idea becomes official.
SOMEONE MAKE THAT IDEA OFFICIAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How dare u want ahsoka to die she is the best Jedi in history!!!!!
Ahsoka won’t die she is a main character and Dave confirmed that she will survive through the 5th and 6th season.
grievous could have killed ahsoka before in duel of the droids, and he could do it again!
Well duhhh she didn’t die hello and again she’s a main character and again George Lucas confirmed a 6th season with her in it!
But what about a 7nth, eh? Grievous is the best, no question.
now that i agree with!
is there going to be any season 6 of star wars the clone wars
Ok, in season 5 or season 6 can you make the comic official and make a battle of Boz Pity and make Grievous kill Soon Baytes and Adi Gallia because Grievous has dueled Gallia twice and in one stage knocked her out, now it’s time for the kill
I’m curious about Captain Rex and what trials he’s going to face in this season. Its a fanfic ideal, But I was wondering if Rex and Ahsoka would have time to become a fighting team again.
when will season 5 come out
when will season 5 will be released ?????????????????????????????????????????????????
how much long will take to come out ???
plzzz reply fast
hi Dave,
i was wondering if Ahsoka’s and luxs romance will continue and also how many seasons are you making ive heard that it will go up to 10. Also i hope when order 66 is issued ahsoka survives and does anakin know that lux kissed ahsoka plz answer or reply
No offense snowsha but I’d rather see rex and ahsoka paired up together instead of lux and ahsoka becuz I’m not a fan of them together and lux is technically still a separatists
I know the Clone Wars doesn’t have a time frame, but will there be at least up to 10 seasons? Everyone’s wondering if this is the last season. (Which I highly doubt.)
You are a great director an I enjoy your shows!
how rex dead
Hey Dave,
I was also wondering if Ahsoka’s and Lux’s romance will continue and grow. Their are so many good stories on fanfiction about starwars you should read some. some time. Also in Season 5 I hope there is more of obiwan and satine great job with the series there all really great i just got season 1 to 3 on dvd and season 4 verysoon when it comes out or when it does come out well anyways like i said great job.
i wanna know if Aurra Sing will ever be back! She is a kick butt bounty hunter and every episode with her is so intense and i love it. i think itd be cool to have her come back. Any plans???
Does Pre Vizsla die?!?!?!
I hope he don’t, because Vizsla is my favorite person in the Clone Wars seris!!!!!
So are the Mandalorians.
Sadly pre vizsla does die in season 5 when he is killed by darth maul
Hey Dave, I would like to know two things and plz do respond because Im dying to know:
thank you
1: Will Queen Neeyutnee be appearing again, any plans for her?
2: how many seasons are left in the series?
do you consider padme a main character in star wars the clone wars? i wish she would show up alot more!
hi , i just wanted to know if there is going to be a seson 6?
I’m confused.. Is there going to be a season 6? And there was something on a couple other websites about they may explore new Star Wars eras or close to that. What should be expected in the future & is there a approximate date?
Look, the answer is certain, but I just want to here what people have to say, if Pre Vizsla didn’t die with Darth Maul and because he hated the Separatist he planned an attack, entered General Grievous’s flagship, and confronted Grievous, who would win?
