Dave Filoni is officially the new co-president of Lucasfilm, but the appointment has landed unevenly with fans, particularly following renewed scrutiny of his comments about one of the franchise’s most acclaimed recent projects.

The first season of The Mandalorian was widely embraced, but subsequent series struggled to generate the same momentum. The Acolyte faced heavy backlash and was ultimately canceled after a single season. Even Obi-Wan Kenobi, despite bringing back Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan and Hayden Christensen and Anakin Skywalker, drew a notably mixed response from both critics and longtime fans. That is what made Andor stand apart.

The series trades lightsabers and legacy characters for grounded political tension, espionage, and the slow mechanics of resistance. Rather than framing rebellion as a mythic destiny, Andor depicts it as a series of compromises, moral failures, and quiet sacrifices. Its storytelling is deliberately restrained, focusing on ordinary people navigating authoritarian rule rather than galaxy-spanning heroics. Much of the show’s acclaim stems from that restraint. Fans and critics praised Andor for treating its audience seriously, leaning into mature themes such as surveillance, radicalization, and the cost of dissent. The series was frequently described as less concerned with expanding lore and more interested in examining power itself.

And yet the man set to take over the creative reins of a galaxy far, far away isn’t a fan. Dave Filoni Isn’t a Fan of ‘Andor’ – And Fans Are Alarmed According to The Wrap, Filoni “disliked” Andor. “The series, a stark spy thriller about how tyranny takes root, is unquestionably the greatest creative triumph of the [Kathleen Kennedy] era,” the publication wrote in a recent report. “It was also, according to an individual who worked inside Lucasfilm, a series that Filoni disliked.” Credit: Lucasfilm Needless to say, some Star Wars fans haven’t taken well to the news. Many think Filoni’s anti-Andor sentiment is indicative of the direction the franchise will take under his tenure. “So the best thing that they’ve put out in the past 10 years they will make sure never happens again?” one X, formerly Twitter, user wrote. Another said, “Of course, it didn’t take an old EU novel and shit all over it. That’s Filoni’s favorite way of writing ‘Star Wars.'” I’m not surprised dave filoni could never write something as strong and as powerful as Andor.

Regardless of Dave Filoni’s feelings towards the show, a third season isn’t on the cards for Andor. While showrunner Tony Gilroy initially envisioned the show as a five-season project, he ultimately decided to condense the storyline into two dense seasons after realizing the full extent of Season 1’s production process.

It’s impossible. That’s more than a decade doing just one show. It’s impossible to…
