Dave Filoni at 2016 NCWIT Summit on Women and IT.
"We're trying to create a diverse range of characters, especially female characters that are strong, independent."
"Rey, impresses Han Solo, the guy's guy. She impresses everybody, she goes up with Kylo Ren, she punks him right away. He's supposed to be this great guy who wiped all these people. She took that lightsaber and said I'm gonna take you out, and she did, and I'm all for it".
"I'm kind of like Luke, all he did was open that door and Leia out and she just went gangbusters"
"It won"t just stop at 2 movies"
