Don't expect any hard-R projects from the galaxy far, far away—but Lucasfilm's chief creative officer knows there's an audience for more mature stories.

Remember when The Mandalorian maybe, probably, let Star Wars ’ first F-bomb wriggle into its dialogue? That isn’t going to become standard in the galaxy far, far, away, either on the big screen or Disney +, but Dave Filoni is well aware that Star Wars ’ fan base, which spans generations at this point, can handle a little variety. That said, don’t expect Lucasfilm to be like Marvel and nudge Disney into releasing a movie like the decidedly R-rated Deadpool & Wolverine .

“I think also with that audience, I also though want to still be hitting the imagination of the kids out there so that they can grow up and appreciate those things. It’s almost like your taste for food, your taste in cinema and visuals changes as you get older.” Filoni went on to give a personal example. “My dad had me watch Seven Samurai when I was a kid because he knew I liked Star Wars and he knew George worked with Kurosawa,” he said.
