With the second half of Season 3 off to a running start, Dave Filoni talked to Wired's Underwire blog about the future of the series, its political and military inspirations, and, as Wired puts it, "disrupting the absolutes of good and evil."

Here is a notable bit from the interview that touches on the live-action series:

Filoni: [Laughs] At heart, I am a fan, so I try not to find out about that other show. So I can watch it when it comes out. It’s nice to have some parts of Star Wars remain a mystery.

Wired.com: Somehow, I find it impossible to believe that you don’t know everything already, my friend.

Filoni: [Laughs] Well, I do know certain things, and that’s cool. But George is still the Jedi master. He has his secrets, which I’m all for. It’s a very tricky thing to know all this sensitive information and not say anything, actually.
