Dave Filoni, the visionary behind many of Star Wars’ most beloved stories, recently offered insights into the future of media during an interview with The Hollywood Reporter.
As the co-writer of the upcoming The Mandalorian & Grogu film, set for release in 2026, Filoni touched on the evolving role of AI in content creation, particularly within children’s media.
Although there have been rumors, Filoni’s comments were more about the potential of AI in the future rather than confirming its immediate use in the writing process for The Mandalorian & Grogu.
When asked, “Does AI have a role to play in kids’ content?” Filoni responded, “I’m sure it will. However, we must teach kids that their creativity and imagination are what drive this new technology, and there are no shortcuts to acquiring true knowledge and experience.”
For now, Dave Filoni’s creative vision remains the guiding light for The Mandalorian & Grogu, with AI as a potential tool for the future rather than a current collaborator.
Fans can continue to expect the thoughtful and human-centered storytelling that Filoni has always championed.
The Mandalorian & Grogu: A New Chapter in the Star Wars Saga
The Mandalorian & Grogu film is one of the most anticipated projects in the Star Wars franchise.
Building on the success of the Disney+ series The Mandalorian, which first aired in 2019, the film is expected to continue the story of Din Djarin (played by Pedro Pascal) and his young companion, Grogu, affectionately known by fans as “Baby Yoda.”
The original series, set in the years following the fall of the Empire in Return of the Jedi, captivated audiences with its blend of Western-inspired storytelling, action-packed sequences, and deep connections to the broader Star Wars mythology.
Grogu, with his mysterious connection to the Force, quickly became a cultural phenomenon, drawing in both longtime fans and newcomers to the franchise.
