Dave Filoni seemed trepidatious before Favreau quickly cut in with excitement, “I- George. George Lucas. That would be the best cameo.”
Filoni continued to exhibit caution before stepping in with an idea that he thinks could possibly bring Lucas into the fold.

“I don’t know… He’d have to be the son of Baron Papanoida or something like that. I don’t know. I wouldn’t even speculate on that. It’s hard for me to imagine what that day would be like.”
Favreau’s mind seemed to wander to times when he had seen Filoni and Lucas working together before, hoping that the magic could be recreated once more.
“Well, he’s been on the set when Dave’s been directing, so I love watching Dave and George together. George, I have tremendous respect for. I’ve been very fortunate to have great conversations where I’ve learned a lot. But when I see Dave and George Lucas together, that’s like a whole other– ’cause how long did you work together? Twelve years?”
The Clone Wars showrunner then responded with some of the ideas and lessons that George Lucas had imparted on him during their time together:
“Yeah, close to that. Yeah, like at least, ten… I mean, it was a masterclass everyday. It was a masterclass. So I’m trying to apply that everyday and pass on what I’ve learned. I mean it is the Jedi experience, I’ve had. And so honestly, that’s probably my biggest responsibility now, is to try to explain to people what George explained to me about why this all works, why it’s different and unique from any other fantasy series or fiction out there… George leant into a unique point of view and it’s something that we have to take care of and work on again, and again, and again.”
