In what online “Star Wars” fans are calling a well-deserved promotion, LucasFilm has added another title to Dave Filoni‘s already impressive list. Filoni’s official profile on LucasFilm’s leadership website now reads Executive Producer / Executive Creative Director.

You can see the listing here:

Fellow title holders include John Knoll and Doug Chiang.

Variety Senior Entertainment Writer Adam Vary points out this isn’t a new position, just a tech update.

Star Wars fans noticed today that Lucasfilm's website now lists #TheMandalorian EP Dave Filoni as the "Executive Creative Director" of the company. This isn't new, tho: A rep tells me Filoni has had this title since last summer. The site just updated this week with it. pic.twitter.com/rCD09pJPZV
