Transcript

00:00Of course, you're on this remarkable sci-fi run with both the Acolyte and then Tron,

00:04you know, that we can't wait to sort of see.

00:05I don't want you to give any details, but I'm curious if you found them to be

00:09wildly different production experiences, even though they're in the same genre.

00:13I mean, yes, completely different production

00:17experiences, even though same genre and same studio.

00:21You know, Star Wars is really its own thing.

00:24It's like its very own special universe, like no pun intended.

00:29And then, you know, I also had the privilege of doing it with

00:32you know, what I did was to work specifically with one director

00:37who I love so much and admire so much.

00:38So in a way, we were kind of making our own like a little movie

00:43in in in what we did.

00:46But yeah, it's just it's just completely different.

00:48I think I think Star Wars is so invested in its characters.

00:55You know, it's it's really so much about each character.

00:59And you don't often get that kind of special attention

01:03to character and story in all of in all sci-fi productions.

01:09Like a lot of times, it's it's really about the bigger picture

01:12and not necessarily about like what is granular about each character.

01:17And so that was, you know, one one thing about being a part of this is versus Tron.

01:22And then, you know, I think I think I think I got to do a little more

01:27a little more action in like Tron was definitely much more action

01:32focused for me.

01:33It was like very, very, very physical.

01:35I mean, Star Wars was also had its own physicality,

01:38but Tron was like balls to the wall physicality.
