00:00What was it like stepping back into this world for season two?
00:03It was exciting. You know, this character I get to play in Saw Gerrera, I love him.
00:08He's like a rebel, a true rebel, a rebel amongst rebels.
00:12So it's kind of nice to do it and to be in this world, this Star Wars universe,
00:16is one that you don't get that often chance to be involved with.
00:20So it's great to be a part of it.
00:22I saw some fans speculating online after watching the trailer for season two
00:27that there might be a big reveal coming about your character.

00:32I can't say anything about it. There is a big reveal. I can say that.
00:36That's what I did.
00:38And this show is so beloved by fans.
00:40Why do you think it has resonated with fans and become such a hit in the Star Wars universe?
00:44Because I think it's this simple story about usually one person trying to make it the end
00:50and they're fighting against negativity, fighting against darkness to bring people into the light.
00:55You know, may the force be with you to empower people.
00:58I think people know that's what it means.
