- "I always get worried about disrupting continuity. I seem to get blamed for that a lot."
- ―Dave Filoni
Dave Filoni is the director of the Star Wars: The Clone Wars feature film, and the supervising director of the Star Wars: The Clone Wars TV series. Never intending to become an actor in the series, he provided a voiced bit part for Embo, a character that was intended to be killed off at the end of the seventeenth episode of the second season, Bounty Hunters. However, due to the popularity of the character, the episode was re-shot, allowing Embo to live with the potential to resurface later.[1]
