00:00So in the beginning, it was very challenging, but now it's second nature.
00:16Or die.
00:20I won't fight you.
00:21Hi.
00:22Hi, how are you?
00:23Great jacket.
00:24Thank you.
00:24Oh, wow, it looks so cool.
00:26Thanks.
00:27Nice.
00:27So in Endor season 2, they say that rebellions are built in hope.
00:32Nowadays, we are living in such dark times.
00:35Do you believe that we can still have hope?
00:36Oh, I think we need hope.
00:38I think we will always have hope.
00:40I think that's one of the wonderful things about Star Wars is this constant exploration
00:45of hope and what that looks like, you know, in characters that give grace and forgiveness
00:51when you can't possibly fathom it.
00:53You know, I think it's not about, you know, having things be so black and white, you know,
00:59and thank God for Luke doing that with his father.
01:03Thank God for, you know, having that revelation between her and Anakin that could allow her
01:09now to be a teacher in Sabine.
01:11You know, I think it's about this evolution and development for all of these characters
01:15that is what makes it resonate to all of us so much that we are not defined just by one
01:20day,
01:21one choice, one situation, you know, that we get to make a different decision sometimes
01:26and we get to see what the repercussions of our actions are and change and evolve.
01:33And I think that is one of the reasons why the story has been so beloved, you know, intergenerationally.
01:41It's not just fantasy.
01:43It's not just something in escape.
01:45It, I think, really delivers a sense of hope to us because it reminds us what we're capable of when
01:51we care.
01:52It's, I have to say, one of the most incredible experiences of my life,
01:56learning how to be ambidextrous.
01:59You know, it's really fun, you know, and we're doing some training and, you know,
02:05watching, you know, some of the other actors on set and, you know,
02:09they'll switch sometimes to the left hand and talk to me about just,
02:12whoa, that's actually really, really hard.
02:14Even some of the stuck folks who are not used to it.
02:17And it's interesting because for me, I'm at the point where if I do too much with my right hand,
02:21my left hand feels off.
02:23Like, I'm used to kind of doing the stances and doing both at all times.
02:27And so it's actually really amazing because I was saying, like, even on this trip,
02:31I've been eating, you know, sushi with chopsticks in my left hand.
02:35And, like, really kind of, it's really just sort of opened up a different sort of physicality,
02:39which is a really interesting thing to do when you get older and you get so set in a certain
02:43kind of way.
02:44And so in the beginning, it was very challenging, but now it's second nature.
02:49I was so nervous when we weren't able to promote the show because of the strike.
02:54And then seeing, you know, we weren't even told about the fan premieres that were happening.
02:59I saw it online, like, when it started just airing.
03:03And to see the fans' responses to it was just so unbelievable.
03:07And it's because of them that we get to do this next season.
03:10And I'm so excited because I think, you know, there's still so much to explore with these characters.
03:17And they just, they mean so much to me.
03:19And it's so beautiful how much they mean to everyone else.
03:22And, you know, it's our story.
03:24It's our adventure together, you know.
03:25It's like, this exists because of the fans.
03:28So I'm really, really excited that we start filming in a week.
03:34I think we really want to talk about when the season, when the show came out,
03:37we weren't allowed to promote it.
03:39And then it was the fans who did that.
03:41It was the fans who made it successful and made it possible for us to be able to watch it
03:45and continue to be able to start filming a second season.
03:47You know, like, watching the fan premieres that happened around the world
03:52and all the people showing up for the students who were doing everything everywhere
03:55was just, like, so powerful and so emotional, you know.
03:58Like, that's the dream, you know, that this thing that you love so much
04:02is also so embraced and celebrated and that we get to enjoy it together.
04:06And I'm just so grateful, you know.
04:10I think that, you know, so much of what I love about the character of Ahsoka is her character.
04:17I think, you know, she's just someone who we got to watch evolve
04:21from being this spunky teenager, you know, who fucked authority
04:25to kind of becoming this incredible leader.
04:30And even though she left the Jedi Order, you know, she always continued to follow the way
04:34and really represented what I think the heart of what To Be a Jedi really is.
04:39And, you know, and I think it's been really beautiful to see how selfless, you know,
04:43she's been, you know, in this sort of Roman kind of adventure lifestyle that she's led.
04:49You know, it's something I've wondered about her loneliness and that experience.
04:54And so I, you know, when I saw her in Rebels and now, you know, with the show
04:59and being able to explore becoming a master herself with Sabine, it's really exciting to me
05:05to see her evolve as this person who, as much as she's, I think, been disquieted by a lot of
05:11fears
05:11from the touchments and the powers that could turn you into, you know, as she saw that mannequin.
05:18And it's really nice to see her have a different energy of hope, I think, and be able to pass
05:24that on.
05:24Because you saw her pull that back with Drogu. She wasn't willing to go there.
05:28But now we're seeing her willing to go in a direction she's never gone before.
05:32And I really love that for her. I think she's a really, really special character.
05:37She means a lot to me. And I'm happy to see her in her community.
05:41No, I'm really excited for her, you know, the saying that, you know, it's interesting thinking about her
05:47with, you know, kind of pulling back from the idea of teaching Drogu.
05:52But now stepping up to be a master for her new Padawan in Sabine.
05:58And I think a lot of what's possible with that is because of how much I've gotten to see her
06:04feel
06:04with her relationship with Anakin, you know, in the previous season.
06:08And, you know, and I think it was really, really beautiful to see her kind of confront her fears.
06:14I don't think that those totally and completely dissipate or go away, but I think something was very healed in
06:21that, you know.
06:21And that she could allow what I think was what we love about Star Wars so much is that no
06:27one is defined by any one action.
06:29Not even many actions, you know.
06:31But there's always a possibility for grace. There's always a possibility for forgiveness.
06:36There's always a possibility for growth and development.
06:39And thank God for Luke doing that with his father when no one else could have possibly imagined that there
06:45could be any redemption.
06:47And so I think that's really cool to be able to see a social element.
06:51I think it's really cool to see that there's this evolution in her, you know, as masterful and capable and
06:58incredible as she is,
06:59and how willing she is to put herself on the line.
07:02There's something else, too, in that same way that she saw her as a kid, you know,
07:07leading someone else and being responsible for them as well and passing on what she's got.
07:13And that's really, that's been a really, really fun thing to explore.
07:29Thank you.
07:30Thank you.
07:31Thank you.
07:32Thank you.
