Dave Filoni says the New Republic era turns the tables on the Empire.
One major element of Star Wars has always been the battle between the Empire and the Rebellion. When A New Hope was released, the Rebels were a rag-tag band of underdogs operating on a wing and a prayer. They needed a miracle to win, and they got one in the shape of Luke Skywalker.
However, for Dave Filoni, attempting to tell a story set between the trilogies laid out a minor issue - how can you have a major threat from the Empire before the First Order, but after the destruction of the Death Star and the Emperor? The answer was quite simple: you turn the tables and make the Empire the underdogs. This is a theme we've seen all through the Star Wars television series so far, particularly in The Mandalorian.
The latest season took us to Coruscant, the capital of the Republic, where the Imperial remnants had been 'reprogrammed' to assist in rebuilding the Empire - although some had never considered giving up their old ways. But they have to operate in the shadows now, as seen most clearly when Elia Kane - the former associate to Moff Gideon - recruits Doctor Pershing for some late-night snooping around a Star Destroyer in a scrap yard.
Dave Filoni Explains How to Keep the Battle Alive, Even with the Tables Turned Speaking with Empire Magazine, Filoni explained the importance of keeping that conflict between the two sides alive, even if it meant having to flip the switch on how both go about their business.
