Star Wars: The Mandalorian producer Dave Filoni cherishes how “great” the late Carl Weathers was during their time together on the award-winning Disney+ series following the actor’s recent passing.Speaking with Entertainment Tonight at the 51st Saturn Awards, Filoni recalled his time with Weathers, who starred as Greek Karga on The Mandalorian while also serving as a director on the acclaimed show. Filoni’s heartfelt tribute hailed the “energy” Weathers brought to production and believes his legacy as a decorated actor will be well-preserved going forward. “He was the best, I dunno how to describe it. Just the fact that I got to meet him, to know him… He was one of the first people I directed, and he’s such an exceptional director… and he is great on and off camera. Jon [Favreau] and I were thrilled with what he did as Greef Karga and then as an episodic director for us… just the energy, the power that he carried in his stature and his voice…I mean, it’s rough. We’re gonna miss him dearly… and his legacy will continue on in ways we can’t even imagine,” he said.Tributes have been pouring in since Weathers, aged 76, passed away in his sleep on Feb. 1, with no cause of death yet revealed. Weathers, who is perhaps best known for starring as Apollo Creed in the Rocky franchise, was hailed by co-star Sylvester Stallone following his passing. His Happy Gilmore co-star, Adam Sandler, also paid homage to Weathers, who also starred in notable films such as Predator and Action Jackson.
