THE EXECUTIVE PRODUCER DISCUSSES THE MAKING OF SEASON TWO’S CLASSIC FINALE.
In the final installment of our recap interview on Star Wars Rebels Season Two (and in case you missed it, you can check out part one here), executive producer Dave Filoni and StarWars.com discuss the memorable season finale, including Sith Temple design, the return of a certain Zabrak, and a duel that was years in the making.
StarWars.com: I want to start off with Malachor itself and how you came to develop the look of it, from the bodies on the ground to the look of the Temple.
Dave Filoni: I liked the idea of the episode occurring on a graveyard planet. As Simon Kinberg and I developed the story, I started thinking about Sith Temples and how this one might be underground in a massive cavern. That would allow us to poke holes in the ceiling so beams of light could stream down into the Temple. When the characters are above ground, it’s daylight and they’re looking down at a black surface. When they are below, it’s nighttime and they’re looking up at what seem to be stars. The design elements were important to reinforce the concepts of night and day, light and dark, life and death. Those things are part of Malachor’s DNA and its architecture.
