00:00You get to play like a kid with toys. I think this season is better than season one.
00:05It's gonna make people see Rogue One in a different way.
00:08Jager, hello.
00:09Hello, how are you?
00:09You look like a fine wine. You look like a fine wine. You look amazing.
00:13I don't feel that way. No, no, no.
00:15Are you all right?
00:16I am. I am all right, but it's been 10 years.
00:20No, no, I feel great. I feel great because I care about this, you know,
00:24because I'm in love with what we've done, with the journey and the connections I've made,
00:31with the material, with the writing of Tony Gilroy, with the whole crew.
00:37So it's easy to wake up and work for this show.
00:39Well, I won't ask you about your skincare routine. I will ask you about that.
00:43Thank you very much.
00:44Cassian, how did it feel knowing that you're reaching the end?
00:48Because we know what happens next. Was that on your mind quite a lot?
00:51Well, yes. I mean, yes, but in a good way, you know?
00:54You want to live something when it's exciting, when it's fun,
00:58when you're still learning things, you know? And this is the moment for that, you know?
01:02It's been 10 years of my life. I've gone through a lot, you know, with these people.
01:10And I'm keeping all of them here. And it's good to say goodbye when,
01:16also when you're proud of what you're doing, you know? And I'm still very proud of this show.
01:21I think this season is better than season one. And I think it's gonna make people see Rogue One
01:28in a different way, you know? Therefore, it's gonna make somehow Rogue One better, you know?
01:34Well, yes, or at least pertinent, again, for you to watch it, because it resignifies Rogue One.
01:39You don't know what's behind the sacrifice you see Cassian doing in Rogue One. Now you'll know,
01:45you know? So it's good to live it this way.
01:49So were you even surprised when you read the script?
01:52Well, not really, because Tony and I talk a lot. And I can tell you one thing,
01:58when he pitched the story at the beginning, it's the same story we shot, you know?
02:04We got full freedom, you know, complete freedom from Lucas and from Disney to execute the show
02:14the way Tony dreamed it. And that integrity you can see in the show. And not much TV starts knowing
02:24what the end is, you know? And we do. And I think that makes this show special.
02:29You're teasing us. And you're now a Star Wars legend. What is that the maddest thing that's happened?
02:35Legend is a big word. I mean, I am part of the Star Wars family and I'm proud of that, yeah.
02:43What's the maddest thing that happens? Because people must absolutely adore you. They dress up
02:46as you people. The nicest thing is like you get to play like a kid with toys you wanted when you
02:53were a kid, but you didn't get, you know? And this time I got to pilot. I got to do crazy,
02:58crazy stuff that reminds me how important this universe was when I was a kid. And so is your
03:06house now full of toys with your face on it? No, no, no, no. That would be creepy, right? That would be
03:11creepy. It's funny. May the 4th coming up. Yes. How are you celebrating? What do you do?
03:15Yes. This one I'm going to be celebrating how this season was received because I think if people
03:23liked season one, they're going to love season two. Please dress up as Cassian. Just leave it on your own.
03:27Okay. I'll do that. Thank you.
