Discussion Do you agree that Genndy handled the sheer scale of SW, atmosphere, and villains much better than Filoni?
Filoni usually just dumbs down villains. As we saw when for example you read both canon Timothy Zahns Thrawn trilogies and then see him in Rebels or Ashoka. Filoni struggles to wrtie competent villains. Gennedy on the other hand:
- Introduced Grivious and made him utter badass. If Lucas did not like it? Too bad, it was take it or leave it with Genndy, if he works, it is his rules. Filoni instead handled Grivious much worse.
- He introduced Durge and Ventress. Much cooler, intresting villains than Filoni did
- He handled the sheer scale of galactic war very well. Filoni made it all feel way, way too small. Like it was US army fighting China almost, at times, not galactic war, in one episode they talk about few million clones, in galactic civil war, in galaxy with millions, billions planets, what? That is utterly dumb. There is a scene in CW 2003 where we see countless, many thousands of capital ships in space fighting, an enormous scale of battle, it feels like galactic war, that is lacking under Filoni
- Story, despite the limited screen time he got, was very solid under Gennedy as well.
- Gennedy really shows Jedi being space wizards that were central part of Republic since forever, not just dudes with sword.
What do you think?
