00:00I would hear you one day and you she would be like, okay, I have to do this scene Charlie
00:03Um, are my eyebrows moving? I think are they moving? I mean like little you couldn't move them in there, but I'd be like no
00:09Daph there's nothing I'd be like nothing. I'd be like I'm lifting my right one. Can you see it? And they'd be like, no
00:16This isn't about good or bad
00:20This is about power and who is allowed to use it
00:30The coolest shot so far happens in episode 4
00:33Which is the moment that every Jedi ignites their lightsaber at once and it sort of goes down the line
00:37I want to know how cool that was on the day of the shoot was did it look equally awesome?
00:42You know what?
00:43It was equally awesome about until the second that Daphne started to try and run and fell on a fern
00:50That was really what made it a human moment like a few takes. It wasn't like I fell I kept
00:56She kept
01:00Once we pulled him out that was pretty solid. Yeah, it was really humbling. We all felt really cool. It was like, ah, yeah
01:07At least you didn't get a horn into you know, thank you. Actually, that's really dangerous. Yeah
01:12shit, you know
01:14Come some go home a pretty true. Yeah, that's seen you mentioned
01:17What we you know kind of shot it with the light actually coming on and the lightsaber
01:22So it felt very realistic when I get the domain I need this
01:25There's a good
01:27Bangalore and when we saw that red lightsaber come on for the first time
01:31It really felt like a big event was gonna happen or a big fight scene
01:35So it was a really exciting moment on set as well
01:40Rebecca, I'm curious jealous of the co-stars who didn't have to endure the makeup chair or or really happy with your look
01:46Really happy with my look
01:48Definitely look better green would prefer to always be
01:52It was so sad when they took it off and like my skin underneath like red and gross
01:58Yeah, I love being green. My eyes are actually green. So it made my eyes really pop and I yeah, I thought I looked fantastic
02:06But it is a long process
02:07it was three hours at first and then two hours we got it down to and then taking it off was a
02:12Process and when I like blew my nose for the week afterwards, it would be green. I
02:17I
02:18Honestly loved it. I can't think of many cons. I it was really good to get into the character
02:24I think it gave her a completely different dimension
02:27I'd imagined her in a way and then she became something completely different when I was in the makeup, which was really nice
02:32also just from like a
02:34vain like human point of view having your face taken away from you just takes so much pressure off you because you don't have to
02:40be like thinking about you're just the character and from a
02:45Like a comedy point of view it meant that any time we went out with the crew no one knew who I was
02:50They were like, it's nice to meet you and I'd be like I have been working
02:58Oh, yeah, well they took it's also really difficult to act
03:01I use my eyebrows a lot but it's really difficult to act without any eyebrows and I kept being told off by Leslie
03:08She'd be like you're not acting
03:09I'm doing so much
03:11Obviously if you do if you cover this it looks like you're not doing anything
03:14So I was giving like the most deadpan performance ever, but to me I was overacting so much
03:20I was like no because but all you could see was this. Oh, I thought that was a choice
03:30She would be like, okay, I have to do this scene Charlie. Um, I'm eyebrows
03:35I mean like you couldn't move them in there, but I'd be like no
03:38There's nothing I'd be like nothing I'd be like I'm lifting my right one. Can you see it and maybe like no
03:47Destiny is not decided for you by an anonymous force
03:53If you want to pull the thread
03:56Don't change everything
04:00And pull it
04:03We finally get to get into four switches, which is an incredible thing to discuss
04:07How much research into this corner of the universe did you have to do and who could you turn to when you needed questions answered?
04:13Leslie is pretty much like a walking
04:17Star Wars
04:18Encyclopedia that was one thing that was like really great about it to know like the person
04:23The most closest to the project was right there for you me to just be like, okay explain this to me explain that to me
04:31thank God for the Internet because you know in lieu of
04:36reading a bunch of books
04:38When you don't necessarily like when you're literally thrown into some things
04:42It's good to be able to like go down a black hole of doom scrolling
04:46but
04:48But what was nice is to be able to talk to a person right because it's like there's so much information out there
04:52And so to actually be able to like to talk to someone who is so knowledgeable about it
04:57I mean, Leslie really walked me through everything
05:03I would say I had the most conversations with director and showrunner Leslie headland
05:09I mean, she is a mega fan. So she has like an encyclopedic knowledge of Star Wars
05:14So whether it was any questions, I had about you know, the background the backstory
05:21About the characters she was really able to answer all of them
05:25We have force teacher which is for me one of the coolest part aside from our
05:31Unbelievable stunt team and their leadership. Alex was leading us through our own
05:36Connection to the force. So we threw meditation through movement a lot of that
05:41I took in just kind of centering myself and applying the physical nature. We all as actors
05:47We always have a different inlets, you know might be physical. It might be
05:51Imagery it might be costume. It might be shoes or music through that experience. I really
05:57Grasped a better control or knowledge of how physical can play such a huge role. Alex was incredible
06:04No, really, I think Star Wars. It's so invested in its characters, you know, it's it's really
06:11So much about each character and you don't often get that kind of special attention
06:17To character and story in all sci-fi
06:21Productions like a lot of times it's it's really about the bigger picture and not necessarily about like what is granular about each character
06:31What happened
06:39Part of the joy of getting to watch these episodes is that I'm sharing them with my son right off the bat
06:44Who's he's a college student. He's home from school. He's watched Star Wars with me all my life
06:48I'm curious if there's a family member who is who introduced you to this world
06:52or maybe even a family member who you can't wait to share these episodes with because of their
06:56Shared love of Star Wars. The answer is my dad and my dad
06:59I watched them with my dad when I was young and he's so excited. I'm in this show. It's beautiful
07:05I know I was doing some press yesterday and the the answers of the two people I was with yesterday
07:09Also, like watched it with my dad watch it with my dad. So there's obviously like a big that's I love that
07:15What's even joy?
07:17Yeah, of course, my family is extremely excited for the acolyte to come out
07:22she
07:24Hung with a chop. Actually, there's gonna be a group of my friends, you know watching it the day it comes out
07:29And then also my family members. So no John JJ. No, I'm kind of torn
07:34They're saying I should come to each of their meetings and I don't know where to go
07:39I'm
07:43Close your eyes your eyes
07:48Can deceive you tell me what comes into your mind
07:55Rebecca you can't mention the High Council the Jedi Council without us wondering if Yoda who's been around for a really long time
08:01Might potentially show up touch your nose if this is a character who you're familiar with or if I'm really with Yoda
08:09Yeah, or might see in the acolyte at some point down there down the line touching
08:12No, unfortunately, you're not gonna you do not unfortunately, but I don't know maybe in the second season third season Daphne before they kick me out
08:20I just need to know as someone who was in Logan what your reaction was to Hugh coming back to the role
08:25Were you shocked? I was I was so shocked because when we were shooting he was like
08:29I'm never James like I love it
08:30But I've been doing this for 17 years and I'm I want to leave this behind so it was a real shock to see it
08:36But the trailer looks incredible, so I'm just really excited to see it when it comes out
08:40I will be in the cinema for sure. Yeah
