Transcript
00:00What was your last day on set like? Do you remember?
00:03Yes, I do.
00:06You know, I'm going to tell you about my second last day on set.
00:09So my second last day on set was, I think, my most favorite day of filming ever in my career.
00:17And that is the big sequence at the end of episode three, when there is that dance number.
00:23And we had almost got to it, and then we had this strike.
00:27And so we had to go back and film it.
00:31And Tony was there, and we were all there together.
00:34And there was such a collective joy to be back and to be finishing it.
00:38And it was artistically really satisfying.
00:41We were really reaching for something.
00:43And the costumes and that set, they're just like a Renaissance painting.
00:50It was beautiful.
00:52Were you able to keep anything from set?
00:54Do you know, I didn't.
00:55And I feel a bit cross with myself, because people are asking me that a lot.
00:59I should have.
01:00I don't know.
01:02Has anyone else?
01:04No, other people said they didn't want to get in trouble.
01:06I think so.
01:07You know, it's big.
01:09It's Star Wars.
01:11So no, I didn't take anything.
01:13But I take it with me in my heart, right?
01:17This show is so beloved by Star Wars fans.
01:19Why do you think it has resonated with them in a way that maybe some other Star Wars series haven't?
01:23I feel like Andor lives under the umbrella of Star Wars.
01:32But at its heart, it's really just an exploration of us, of our humanity.
01:36That heroes can be broken.
01:39That it takes the courage of a collective in order to make a difference.
01:46That it requires all of us to stand together.
01:50I think Andor essentially is really about the courage of ordinary people.
01:54The sacrifice of ordinary people.
01:56And I think it feels epic and yet intimate all at once.
02:01Amazing.
02:03Thank you so much.
02:04Congratulations on this season.
