Dave Filoni (+7)
"One thing that I thought was kind of "inside" was the scene in Children of the Force where Anakin and Ahsoka go to talk to Chancellor Palpatine, and Palpatine stops her at the door and doesn't let her into his office. I thought it was a little tongue-in-cheek; the fans know that he's the Sith Lord corrupting Anakin Skywalker, but it's also for the fans who are perplexed by the question of why Ahsoka is there. Palpatine is dismissive of her, which I thought was kind of funny. I thought that they'd be glad that he dissed her so directly, so we did that very intentionally."
