The Marvel Cinematic Universe may be the gold standard when it comes to movie franchises. Numerous other film franchises have tried, and most have failed, to copy the success of the company’s first few phases. Meanwhile, Disney’s other big global franchise Star Wars has had more ups and downs on its path to sucess. Now Lucasfilm’s creative chief Dave Filoni says he is taking “inspiration” from the MCU and Kevin Feige.
Following Rosario Dawson and more appearing at Star Wars Celebration in Japan, we have a lot more visibility into what’s going on in the world of upcoming Star Wars movies and TV series. Speaking with ScreenRant, Lucasfilm CCO Dave Filoni admits that building the franchise with multiple projects in development at once is “tricky” which only makes him more impressed with what Kevin Feige was able to do with the MCU. He said…
So we are figuring all these things out and looking at every project and yeah, it’s like project development. They don’t all develop at the same time. But in Star Wars it’s tricky because you need certain things to go before one another if they’re in the same space of the way the audience will perceive it, which is why, and I said this in an earlier interview, I really, I’m fascinated by what Kevin Feige was able to pull off. I think it’s so special and so unique.
