He has helped make some of the most popular stories in Star Wars.
So...never change?
'Cause Lucas made the OT. Then the PT.

Well, his spotlight character is a woman, so he obviously must hate other men.Is this the part where I start complaining about a woke agenda, despite the fact Filoni is a white guy?
It's worth keeping in mind for everyone freaking out because they didn't like some of his recent stuff, that this more of a consulting or oversight role, so he's not going to be writing or creating everything himself.
All subjective I realise, but of his stuff I only really like Mando seasons one and two, and Ahsoka. I dislike Clone Wars, Bad Batch, Rebels and whatever the other animated show was.
So hardly promising from my point of view.
"Help me Dave Filoni, you're Star Wars only hope."
So... someone with no apparent real-world experience outside of the antiseptic, emotionally stunted hallways of Lucasfilm animation, who, unlike Kennedy, never had firsthand experience of working with the likes of Spielberg and Zemeckis? That doesn't inspire much confidence, but, time will tell.

There could be a bit more connection between different shows and films as they go along. Remember that the Pergill were from a seemingly filler-like episode. Now they are massively important to two series and referenced in two other series. Just because it seems unimportant doesn't mean Filloni won't go back and make it important later on.
I never had that impression. Ezra's taming of the purrgil in "The Call" was quite significant, as was the encounter of living creatures capable of jumping into hyperspace. The whole episode began and ended with the purrgil defining the action.
Plus those Mining Guild TIEs were cool AF.
"filler 13. (television, music) material of lower cost or quality that is used to fill a certain television time slot or physical medium, such as a music album" [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/filler#Noun]
This aligns with how the term has been used for decades, for example under the idea that the filler on a record album is inferior to the hits.

I believe the mistakes that Lucas had made were sanctioning the return of Maul in "The Clone Wars" and selling Lucasfilm to Disney.
Depends on who you're talking to. Certain people like to declare "filler!" anytime a given episode doesn't (in their view) contain some major revelation, advance the metanarrative plot, upset the status quo somehow, or most often then not: they just didn't like it very much. Whether these assessments have any objective merit is besides the point; they get thrown around all the same.
For proof, look no further than literally every show/season's spoiler thread on this forum for the last two decades.
Me too, on both counts.
There was a one-shot anthology comic years ago called Visionaries in which Maul made his return with a mechanical lower half, to fight Obi-wan in the desert where, ironically, Owen Lars killed him with a blaster shot to the side of the head after a ferocious lightsaber duel. I think this was the inspiration for Maul's return, and I wish they'd just let him stay dead. Everything he did in TCW could have been done by Asaaj Ventress.
And the fight presented in Visionaries was re-imagined in the Rebels episode Twin Suns, where Kenobi and Maul have that final duel on Tatooine, resulting in Maul's demise.
