Sure, but can you provide a blurb about Filoni's role as an introductory for the video?
There's so much to say I don't know where to start...
How about this:
---------------------------
Dave Filoni
Dave Filoni (
Executive Creative Director, former cartoon showrunner and avid wolf fetishist) is the current head of Disney Lucasfilm's story group and creative efforts moving forward. While usually touted as the "savior" of the franchise and treated with divine reverence by younger fans for the creation of Ahsoka, Dave Filoni has caused more harm than good during his long career with Lucasfilm.
Originally a storyboard artist who rose to prominence after serving as director for several episodes of
Avatar the Last Airbender's first season, Filoni was scouted by George Lucas to head his new animated series based around the Clone Wars era of media (acting as a pseudo-spiritual successor to Genndy Tartakovsky's Clone Wars miniseries from 2002) in hopes of attracting the same level of attention to the new series as A:TLA, a decision that would ultimately give rise to a rather chaotic age that would begin as George's misguided informant and creative lead to usurping George himself, to the point of even denying George's desire to kill off one of Filoni's pet characters, and ultimately replacing him within Disney's Lucasfilm years later while never even bothering to adapt George's original Underworld series (the main reason he even sold SW to Disney in the first place), a rather ironic turn of events as George had originally intended to mold Filoni into his successor after his own children refused to take up the family legacy, with things only being made worse by Filoni not only moving attention away from George's own creations but Filoni putting all focus on his own creations instead to the point where some of his creations now hold more prominence and importance than most characters that came before, even the original trilogy protagonists, with Filoni's most notable creation Ahsoka now being seen as the new face of the franchise.
Dave Filoni's efforts throughout all his shows have been notable for not only his very weak writing style, which has been compared to pointless sidequests or macguffin chases seen in video games, but he has also been noted for his inability to portray realistic battle scenes and his inability to maintain consistent continuity and characterization with not just past films and material (even turning Obi-Wan into a Jack Sparrow expy and Anakin into a stereotypical swashbuckler with none of the nuance of Genndy's re-imaginings) but even his own creations lack consistency, with errors even occurring multiple times within not just the supposedly "interconnected" shows, but even multiple inconsistencies existing within a single one of his many shows' seasons.
Even when other writers tried to question Filoni, they would quickly be shut down by either Filoni himself or by him snitching to George when things didn't go his way, something George himself was finally forced to accept after Filoni's changes to
The Wrong Jedi. But his most unusual contribution is his chronic desire to insert wolves or allude to them in everything he's involved with, a desire that stems from his fixation with the film and novel
Never Cry Wolf by Marley Fowat, noted for his autobiography where he sexually experimented with dogs and even the protagonist of his book has a rather chronic obsession with wolves. Filoni carries these views to their most extreme (minus the sexual fetishization which we have not yet witnessed) to the point of not only making deceased jedi become wolves but even making wolves gods, the protectors of the universe and even the teachers of humanity, and there are even cartoon wolves who guard the core of reality. He has even named his in-universe self-insert "Trapper Wolf".
His wolf-fetishism aside, Filoni is also noted for his
unrelenting favoritism towards characters he becomes attached to, being unable to kill any of his favorite creations and giving them the most ridiculous methods of survival, even reviving a throwaway spider alien multiple times because of his preference for him. At one point, Filoni even wanted to revive jedi master Plo Kloon, a character who was clearly blown to smithereens during the events of Revenge of the Sith, with some of his arguments for his survival getting so bad that George had to outright state that if Filoni ever brought him back he would just kill him in a more horrible fashion. To make up for this, Filoni overexposed the character in his first animated series and even initially planned to have him back for the Mandalorian which some tried to poorly pass off as a "prank". His most notable obsession though is Ahsoka, a character he grew feverishly attached to and has her become the ultimate lynchpin of the franchise, being involved in many of its major events and even having her be the only pre-Disney character, alongside the bastardized versions of Chewbacca and Lando (now known as Landonis), to survive past Disney's sequel trilogies, even comparing her to the likes of Tolkien's Gandalf, a role he previously reserved for Yoda.
Despite these flaws, Filoni has still managed to attract a large fanbase mainly comprised of not just disney drones, but younger fans who (as previously noted) grew up with Filoni's Clone Wars as their entry into Star Wars, and who many of which have obsessive or romantic fixations with Ahsoka Tano, to the point where they consider the idea of her getting the "Jake Skywalker treatment" as the last straw rather than realizing things went to shit when everyone else in the franchise received the Jake treatment. Another large portion of the fanbase stems from his involvement with the Mandalorian, which many saw as "saving" Star Wars" from the sequels, while failing to realize that
Filoni himself was also involved with the sequels (as noted in the picture to the left), even being the one to make some of its most controversial suggestions, and was even mentored on live action film making by Rian Johnson, and that Filoni and Favreau have admitted that the point of the Mandalorian is to introduce the First Order to serve as an entry into the sequel era to begin increasing appeal for it. And despite what little good grace the show managed to win back, it was quickly discarded for the sake of preserving status quo and ensuring the Skywalker downfall, and all so they could continue to sell gremlin dolls.

How's that
@5t3n0g0ph3r? I tried to keep it short, but there's just too much to say and then some but I'm not sure how I can squeeze it all in to a small size or keep out anything else. Hopefully the video and the links can do the rest. If anyone wants to suggest any edits to shorten the length or improve the quality (or wants to offer some details to add to the bio) then let me or
@5t3n0g0ph3r know.
