Hey my name is Dave Filoni, Supervising Director of Star Wars: The Clone Wars,
and today I'm here talking with Pottery Barn Kids.
Boy, watching Star Wars as a kid, the thing I remember most was probably the action at first, the sense of adventure,
the excitement, it was really action-packed, there were a lot of things coming at you really fast,
and no one had seen the type of effects,
the visuals that Star Wars presented, so the whole thing as a kid was just literally out of this world.
I liked that I could relate to these characters so well that even though it was so
far out, that it, all the characters felt like people you knew.
It still really holds up today, it's so timeless, it's a myth. It's mythology, it's fantasy.
We've tried very hard in the Clone Wars, that while we've tried to do Star Wars in a lot of new ways on
that show we've tried to maintain the design sense that the original designer Ralph McQuarrie
set forth in Star Wars with George Lucas. And in that way it's very smart, it's very wise to
maintain a look and a sense and a feel that fits in a room because it's so timeless.
It doesn't say it's from the seventies, it doesn't say it's from the nineties, it's just Star Wars.
The Pottery Barn collection for kids, it definitely honors that.
What's great about it is it's really maintained a lot of classic look
that I was familiar with as a kid with Star Wars.
And I love that. I mean, when I see that, I want to have that for myself,
but I also want to have it for kids I know that love Star Wars now.
because it's just as popular today,
as it was back then, and I think that people at Pottery Barn developing a room
looked at the history of that and said let's use this, this is great.
And let's maintain it's integrity because there is that sense with Star Wars and Star Wars fans that that's very important.
