Executive producer Dave Filoni walks us through the revelations and mysteries.
Heres a deep dive into the new footage, with insight from executive producer Dave Filoni.
Flashbacks
The teaser begins with a lot of flashback.
Disney XD
I wanted this trailer to have a sense of This Is It, he tells EW.
This is going to sum up everything about this particular Star Wars family.
Sometimes you fail, but you’re free to overcome those failures, Filoni says.
Disney XD
Not pictured: surly droid Chopper.
They have to decide what theyre going to do about that."
An Ascetic Look
Prior to the rescue, Kanan cuts his hair.
Disney XD
Filoni says, wasnt part of a budget cut.
(Flowing things, like robes and hair are expensive in animation.)
For once, it is not a cost-saving measure!
Disney XD
But if we were playingFamily Feud,that would be one of the high ranking answers.
The One Opinion That Matters
For Kanan, its purely story related, Filoni says.
Its a meaningful transition moment for him.
Disney XD
…Even if Hera isnt a fan.
Perhaps she’ll grow to like it.
People get more concerned with filling in gaps between things and making them all mesh.
Disney XD
But he wants the show to be more self-contained.
Sabine With a Lightsaber
Expect the final episodes to be more mysterious and intimate than explosive.
I think audiences are almost fatigued with Is it big enough?
Disney XD
In terms of volume of battle and explosions, Filoni says.
I think they want it to be emotionally fulfilling enough.
I hope thats what we actually hit with the end of the show.
The Mortis Gods
These are the Mortis gods a.k.a.
The Ones who are a kind of Holy Trinity within the Force.
Theres the father, in the center, providing balance.
These temptations pull on us for what we want versus whats better for the group.
Those are the natural temptations Emperor Palpatine will exploit in Ezra.
The Final Boss
Ian McDiarmid is reprising his role as the twisted, evil overlord.
The big bad in this time period ofStar Warsis The Emperor, Filoni says.
He is the one running everything and the evil of the land.
We dealt with his lieutenants, and Vader is a lieutenant.
Disney XD
This is the ultimate source of darkness in the galaxy.
Hes a sophisticated villain, Filoni adds.
That makes you more worried for Ezra.
Disney XD
The Emperor can appear so many different ways.
He can seem frail at times or powerful at times.
Hes the ultimate deceiver, and he plays on your own wants and greeds.
