fun fact: filoni and crew wanted the wolves to be both scary and wise to emphasize their wild and neutral nature, so they use a lot of audio and visual cues usually seen with villains (the kubrick stare, fading into the darkness with only the eyes visible for a moment, abnormally deep voices, Sith-like eyes, their creepy leitmotif) to unnerve the viewer and make them feel on edge in a way they can’t quite pin down.
