But here the twist comes when Dave Filoni decided to try something fresh after 46 years of using George Lucas’ renowned way of introducing Star Wars storylines. His unconventional tools to break theStar Warstradition have been used extensively inAhsokaandThe Mandalorianremains the best use of it.
How Dave Filoni Breaks theStar WarsTradition
Every Star Wars fan is aware of the beginning scenes of the movies; no credits or long start names were displayed. No one made films before George Lucas without first giving the performers and director credit. Even though this alteration was welcomed, Lucas did run into some issues with it; yet, it is one of the key characteristics of a Star Wars film. Ahsoka started with a different format and had no opening crawl. Dave Filoni transforms the writing to a blood-red color with foreboding music in place of the familiar Star Wars font, setting the tone for what will happen next.
The MandalorianintroducedThe Volume, also known as the enormous LED screen that ILM and Stage Craft constructed inside a sound stage, where they can project the backgrounds we see in the finished product in real time. The long-standing practice of employing green or blue screens is finally being replaced.

Dave Filoniduring theStar Warscelebration was asked if he intends to employ the Volume with his upcoming movie (which has not a script nor even a confirmed screenwriter), to which he replied:
“That’s a great question. If it applies, 100 per cent I would. I’m fortunate to have been on the ground floor of that, and having experienced it with my team, I know when it works and when it doesn’t work. There are certain situations where you want to use it, and there are certain situations where it’s better to do it on a regular stage with a blue screen. There are certain situations where you just want to go outside. You have to just know and trust your team for when is the right time to use it.
For me, in animation, I like to do a lot of previsualization. I like to work out a lot of things virtually beforehand. I can watch a cut of the film before I’ve shot it. And I brought the [directors of photography] into the process. So we look at it a lot, up front. Yeah, I would say it’s on the table, but I have no fear of doing it in other ways. I think it’s a different tool that you have in the box to use at this point.”

It’s too early for anyone to tell here, including Filoni. These are things that are part of the pre-production process, not planned before the script is in place. However, as seen in numerous behind-the-scenes images,Ahsokaalso made extensive use of blue screens, and rumors from the time of filming indicated that the railway yard at El Segundo would also be utilized.
