    5-8 years ago this would have been fantastic news.

    But Filoni has spiraled into Great Value George Lucas.

    “Act as much like a plank of wood as humanly possible.” direction.

    Write as boring and inconsistent a plot as possible.

    Honestly, everytime I go back and watch ATLA, the first 2-3 episodes are really not that great. And after Filoni left the quality just improved from then on.

    Maybe Filoni + Lucas was some sort of magical fusion greater than the sum of its parts, or maybe it was just luck. Either way, Filoni on his own has become this boring stale potato chip writer and has the direction capability of a carpenter.
