00:00 Yeah, I think there's still a couple more episodes to go,
00:02 so I won't say too much,
00:03 but yeah, I've really been enjoying it.
00:05 - Kenobi is all that matters now.
00:08 Is that understood?
00:09 (upbeat music)
00:12 - It was so cool to get to put
00:20 the Anakin costume back on again.
00:22 That was actually my very first day on set,
00:27 was that scene that we did.
00:29 And it was just a special sort of way
00:31 to come back to Star Wars, looking like Anakin.
00:36 Yeah, no, that was on location.
00:37 And I always enjoy it when Star Wars goes on location,
00:42 it adds a different sort of slant to the whole thing.
00:45 And yeah, I mean, Ewan was there,
00:50 but he was actually wrapped for the day.
00:53 They had finished his coverage,
00:55 and it was just so sweet what he did.
00:58 He insisted on staying to be a part of my first shot back.
01:03 And yeah, it was just a very special day.
01:08 - Anakin.
01:12 - While I was in the Bacta tank,
01:13 fully submerged in water,
01:15 and I had to hold my breath for all of that too,
01:18 for some reason, I couldn't breathe through the regulator.
01:23 Although when I saw you inside of it,
01:25 it looked like he was actually getting oxygen through his,
01:28 'cause you could see the bubbles going.
01:30 But no, I had to hold my breath,
01:31 and I really enjoyed it.
01:35 I mean, I found it very peaceful in the Bacta tank,
01:39 and very sort of meditative.
01:43 Just a lack of oxygen.
01:46 Maybe a little bit, but no, I enjoyed the whole process
01:52 of getting to do the Bacta tank.
01:53 We knew I was gonna have to hold my breath for it,
01:55 so I got to work with a dive instructor
01:59 to help build up my breath holds.
02:01 And I think when we were filming,
02:03 I got my breath hold up to like two and a half minutes,
02:07 which was not bad.
02:08 - It's not so easy when you have a choice.
02:14 - Yeah, I'm really enjoying the show.
02:16 I really loved the scripts when I read them,
02:21 and I think they're coming to life
02:24 in a really exciting way that presents these characters
02:28 in a new light.
02:30 Yeah, I think there's still a couple more episodes to go,
02:35 so I won't say too much,
02:36 but yeah, I've really been enjoying it.
02:38 - What have you become?
02:41 - I am what you made me.
