Transcript

00:00Bueno, hola, chicos. Es Gonzalo de Hipertextual en España.

00:02First of all, congratulations.

00:03Again, it's amazing.

00:05It's amazing.

00:06Thank you, Gonzalo.

00:08Thank you.

00:09My first question is for you, Genevieve,

00:11because this show has given Mon Modma

00:14the importance that she actually deserves

00:17because she has always been a secondary character in Star Wars,

00:20but she's actually one of the most important in the whole galaxy.

00:24So how has it been for you,

00:25this whole experience of having a chance to explore her more?

00:29Thank you.

00:30Thanks.

00:32I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to play her,

00:37this extraordinary character, this version of her.

00:42I think it's testament to Tony Gilroy's writing

00:45that he wrote this story for this woman.

00:48I think you're right.

00:49She has been important within the world before,

00:52but she's not been there very much.

00:56So for him and his writers and the team

00:59to allow story time for her to learn about her

01:04and what it costs and what it takes to be this woman

01:06was a privilege that I can only be grateful for.

01:12I'm thrilled for me because I got the opportunity to play this

01:16and I'm also thrilled for the character.

01:18I'm thrilled that she got a platform

01:20and thrilled that we get to see her.

01:22Yeah, that's something that lots of fans were expecting,

01:25so that has been amazing.

01:27I think we can all agree that Andor is something different.

01:31Also from season one, we all had this perspective

01:34that it's something different in the Star Wars universe.

01:36How do you think that Andor has changed Star Wars as a franchise?

01:41Yeah, I understand that there's this feeling around it's different

01:46and lots of people have said that it's impacted them in a different way.

01:51I think the main thing is that it's about human relationships

01:55and human beings and stories that we can all relate to

02:02that happen to be set in a galaxy far, far away.

02:05And I think that resonates with human beings that are watching the show

02:08and we hold the mirror up as the storytellers

02:11and we go, does this look like you?

02:15So for me, I think it's had a personal kind of effect on people.

02:20I think the umbrella of Star Wars or the idea of science fiction,

02:27when it's at its best, which is what Tony, I think, is writing,

02:31is that it is universal or intergalactic in its themes,

02:37but at the heart of it, it's very intimate.

02:41It's about people and relationship, like Faye said.

02:46Yeah, I totally agree.

02:47Lots of people say that Andor has made Star Wars for adults, in a way,

02:52because it has always been a familiar franchise.

02:55Do you think that it can actually happen,

02:57that a Star Wars product can actually, I don't know,

03:01talk about some important themes or topics like this one,

03:05or this is like one in a time?

03:07I think Star Wars, when it's at its best,

03:10and that has been historically, crosses generations.

03:13I think it can reach grandparents, parents, and children.

03:18And I would have to say, yes, Andor is,

03:22and I think there's a lot of people who really appreciate its depth of story

03:26and its intricacy.

03:27So I understand adults feel like it's rich enough for them,

03:33but I would also say that my kids love it.

03:36Like, I do think Andor also can access many generations.

03:42I think it's that good.

03:44I like their perspective.

03:46To echo that, yeah, it's, I think the human relationships can draw people in.

03:51I think that the richness, I think that's a really good word,

03:54it's rich and it's full for everybody.

03:56Yeah.

03:57Yeah, by the way, I totally agree with you guys.

03:58So now I want to ask you because we have seen some very sad moments

04:05in the recent years in Star Wars where some people criticize it

04:09for being like woke or too diverse or something like that.

04:13So which one would you say is the key for Andor to success

04:16when it's actually the most reivindicative show?

04:19I think what is really important to note,

04:23and that I feel quite passionate about,

04:24is that this is just normalizing the normal,

04:27that this has been going on, you know,

04:30queer people and gay people have been going on

04:31since the beginning of time, and it will go on till the end of time.

04:34And I always remember talking to Tony in season one

04:37and him just saying that he wanted it to be

04:39just like any other relationship, that there's no big reveal.

04:42They're just two people who happen to be both female.

04:45We're normalizing the normal.

04:47And the more exposure we can give to that

04:49and the more, I don't know, just human kindness we can put into that,

04:55the better it is for all of us.

04:56And I think Star Wars and Andor is a great platform for that

05:01because we have different planets, different cultures,

05:05we have creatures, we have, you know,

05:07we have every type of human and non-human

05:11that we could possibly have.

05:13And situation.

05:14So what a textured place to play.

05:18Yeah, it's hilarious.

05:19I never understood why people are not mad about Wookiees,

05:22but are mad about gay people in Star Wars.

05:25Now I want to ask you about Valencia

05:27because you actually showed the second season here.

05:30Yes!

05:31How has it been?

05:32Because it actually plays a big, big,

05:34it's like another character in this show.

05:37So how has it been?

05:38You were there much longer than me.

05:40I did two days there and was very upset about that.

05:43But it was beautiful.

05:44The views, the people, the food.

05:46But I'm going to...

05:46That's right, because we went to...

05:48We went to that beautiful restaurant.

05:50No, no, where did we go in the mountains?

05:51Oh, the mountains.

05:52Outside Barcelona.

05:54Where was that?

05:56Wait there, it'll come.

05:57Oh, we'll come to that.

05:58But then we went to Valencia.

06:00I can't imagine us ever having, being able to...

06:03It was like Valencia was made for us.

06:06That Museum of Arts and Sciences,

06:08it does, it looks spectacular.

06:11I remember one evening doing a night shoot

06:14and being there with Stellan

06:15and us having this beautiful scene,

06:17which I think is in episode eight or nine.

06:19And I remember the sounds of the city

06:22and within the architecture of that piece.

06:25I remember, I remember it so fondly.

06:28I wish I was back there now.

06:30Valencia, I brought my children, my husband.

06:32We all went, we walked along the beach.

06:34We had the most beautiful food.

06:36We went out for dinner.

06:38It was, we went hiking in the mountains.

06:43I mean, take us back there now, please.

06:46It was beautiful.

06:47I cannot remember the name of the...

06:48It's sort of up a hill in Barcelona,

06:52just outside of Barcelona.

06:53And there's a beautiful monastery.

06:54So, the monasteries.

06:55Montserrat, maybe?

06:56Yes, Montserrat.

06:57Thank you, thank you, thank you.

06:59Montserrat, that's what we were.

07:01So, yeah, Montserrat and Valencia.

07:02And you're right.

07:03It feels like a character within the piece.

07:06Yeah.

07:07It's actually, I think, very special

07:08because when you think about the Star Wars filming,

07:11you always think about green screens

07:12or the stagecraft.

07:14So, I guess, like, filming in a real place,

07:17it had to be something different,

07:19something special for you, right?

07:20But, yeah.

07:21Yeah, I mean, forevermore now,

07:25the Star Wars Senate will be Valencia.

07:28No, you're right.

07:29But I think you're right.

07:30When we're gifted as actors with real sets,

07:35with real locations,

07:37with the textures of the buildings,

07:39and we can access it.

07:44It's so beautiful.

07:46And it informs our performances.

07:49And Valencia will always be a part of that.

07:52Yeah, love it.

07:53And I want to ask you, Genevieve,

07:54because you have actually debuted in Star Wars 20 years ago.

07:59It's been a lot of time.

08:00So, I wanted to ask,

08:01how do you see the future of the franchise

08:03now that it has to face all these changes

08:05with Kathleen Kennedy looking for a substitute

08:07and all like that?

08:08How do you see the future of this franchise?

08:10I think Star Wars speaks across cultures,

08:17across generations,

08:18to many different people.

08:20I think its simplicity of message

08:22is something universal,

08:24and people love it.

08:26I feel terribly fortunate to be a part of it.

08:30And I think its message is a beautiful message.

08:34And I hope it can continue

08:37to bring thought and joy

08:41and compassion

08:43to people in the future

08:46as much as we're striving for in Andor.

08:49Yes.

08:50How beautiful is that?

08:51I have to wrap up.

08:52Guys, again, congratulations,

08:54because this show is amazing,

08:55and you did an amazing work.

08:57Thank you.

08:57Thank you so much.

08:58Bye, love.

08:59Thank you.

08:59Bye, love.
