Sam Witwer, who has voiced Darth Maul in Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels, has revealed that creator George Lucas is reacting positively to The Clone Wars final season so far.
In a recent interview with Star Wars Holocron, Witwer revealed that George Lucas has been in contact with producer Dave Filoni and has had a positive reaction to the final season. However, he hopes Lucas likes “The Siege of Mandalore” story arc that will conclude the long-running animated series because “that’s where it all counts.”
“George [Lucas] has been calling Dave and giving him nice little comments on the episodes,” Witwer says. “I really, really hope we get some positive feedback from the maker himself when this comes out. This show has such a special place in George’s heart. He was so happy when he was making this show, and we were so happy to be implementing it for him…you really did just get a directive from George, and that directive got discussed and translated by Dave Filoni, and then it went right to the actors, animators, lighters, everything. It just got done. That’s the fun of watching the Siege of Mandalore, because it just feels pure in its intention… It’s so cool that this is the last George Lucas produced Star Wars. The last Star Wars that has George’s fingerprints on it. I truly loved to hear that George was reacting well to [the final season of The Clone Wars]. And I’m happy to hear that he likes how Clone Wars is going so far this season and I really hope he likes our finale because that’s where it all counts.”
