Although the filler isn't cannon it still has to follow the current flow of the story. It will still have to be in the present. Also I think a Celestial Spirit arc is the best bet for a filler or any arc. Why? You have alot to work with and features some popular characters. First off side characters wouldn't work for a filler arc as at most it would only be 6-7 episodes which beats the purpose of even doing a filler arc you might as well just add extra episodes within the current arcs within the Manga. You also need an interesting story in which only characters I could see an interesting filler happening to is Natsu, Lucy or Erza. Probably Mirajane too but not really.

Lucy is Fairy Tails most popular character so ofcourse she is going to get the filler arc. Why wouldn't she? Also it hasn't been alot of Lucy lately considering during the GMG/Ecplise arc she got like 5 chapters focusing on he r and the Celestial spirits and the filler arc focused on the OS< Zentopia legion and collecting the clock and not on the Celestial spirits and barely on Celestial mages.

I don't understand how people think the story has been focusing on Lucy alot? Have you even been reading or watching the anime. There has never been an arc that actually focused on Lucy and Her Celestial spirits NEVER.
