Summary

- Kevin Feige's Star Wars Movie Could've Involved The Russo Brothers
- Dave Filoni Sees Thrawn As The 'Big Bad' Of Star Wars' New Republic Era
- “The way I look at it, there are [small] stories, and then there’s the big story of the day, too. A New Hope, Empire and Return Of The Jedi tell the important parts of the tale that really define the history of the period. There are all kinds of sub-stories underneath that. We’ve been building all these small stories. To me, a theatrical experience has to have a big idea — a monumental moment in the time period that changes what’s happening. What Tony [Gilroy] has done [in Andor] and what we did in Rebels, everything then changes when Luke blows up the Death Star. You’re looking for those moments that define an era, and that’s what the films really should be about — whether it’s characters coming together, or a defining moment. There are little things along the way that I’ve built across different mediums, all in preparation for things that come later.”
- When asked if Thrawn is the "big bad of this New Republic era," Filoni answered without hesitation, "Definitely, in my eyes." He added: "Thrawn became this very iconic villain, because he was different than anything we'd seen before. He wasn't another helmet-wearing, lightsaber-wielding bad guy."

| 0:02.2 | It's probably not as Incognito as you think. |
| 0:04.8 | Google recently settled a $5 billion lawsuit |
| 0:07.5 | after being accused of secretly tracking users in Incognito mode. |
| 0:11.4 | Google's defense? Incognito does not mean invisible. |
| 0:15.2 | In fact, all of your online activity |

| 0:35.9 | express VPN. They reroute all of your traffic through servers that are secure and |

| 0:46.0 | It is literally one click and you're protected. |
| 0:48.6 | It works on a ton of different devices, your phone, your laptop, your tablet, and more, so you can stay protected anywhere. |
| 0:55.1 | And it's been rated as the best virtual private network by respected tech reviewers like The |

| 1:00.8 | I don't like the idea of anyone spying on my internet activity for all kinds of reasons |
