00:00I
00:04Need you to take the control
00:06Okay, so I first discovered Star Wars when the first film was released in the cinemas
00:13I remember it just blowing my tiny mind
00:16I've never seen anything like it from there on
00:18Running around my yard or schoolyard and arguing over who'd be Han and who'd be Luke was just a big part of my childhood
00:26I always wanted to be Han. Yes. I bet you have well depended
00:30I probably wanted to be Vader sometimes as well knowing me
00:33If that is your destiny
00:35My dad knows everything there is to know about Star Wars pretty much like the when I got the script for the first time they
00:41Like sent it over
00:42He gave me a little cheat sheet to know a little bit more about Star Wars and like all the like references and the aliens
00:49You know all this stuff my dad introduced me, but also my brothers
00:52I remember walking down on the stairs one day and they're playing a new hope but I heard all the sounds and I was like
00:58Oh my gosh, and then I saw Princess Leia and I was like
01:03That's right, my dad's been really one time is a new hope and I remember him just showing me all the movies
01:09I don't remember really liking them out of them
01:11I also remember him like taking me to the theaters to go see I think like Force Awakens rise
01:16It was like kind of a bonding moment for me my dad
01:19I like grew up with all the Star Wars movies. I recognized your foul stench when I was brought on board
01:26Charming to the last so the very first thing that we ever worked on together was a lightsaber fight starring Ford and I did
01:34All the lightsaber Photoshop. We had to export all the frames and do it all by hand airbrush tool
01:39Yeah, there was a lot of work, but I think it turned out great
01:42My favorite scene in all of Star Wars has to be the end of Return of the Jedi the final lightsaber battle between
01:48Skywalker Darth Vader when the music starts to come up and oh my god, he's turned to the dark side
01:54Beth
01:56I'll never turn to the dark side to be invited to be a part of this universe was just a
02:02True thrill, you know, there's something to be said for the play out of the movie
02:08As a child assuming roles running around wanting to be space pirates or saviors in that world was a leap of the imagination
02:16which is really at the heart of what my job is and so
02:19Becoming an actor and then being asked to be an actor in that universe is like a beautiful full circle. It still feels really
02:28Real it's it's really exciting. I loved the script when I read it for the first time. It's such a nice
02:32It was different to see this kind of story in Star Wars 2
02:35I think it's really nice. I kind of changes when you'll see the emotions to all these
02:40Classic movies that we all kind of grew up with. It's really beautiful and I'm so honored to be part of that
02:45I think what was interesting about being asked to actually work on a Star Wars series within the Star Wars world
02:50I suddenly felt yeah a real reverence for it and a real admiration and appreciation for it
02:55It was like being asked to actually work on a Star Wars series
02:58So reflecting on that has been really a lovely part of the whole process
