00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:05.070
- What can you share about
what your favorite stories

2
00:00:05.070 --> 00:00:07.080
or movies in genre are

3
00:00:07.080 --> 00:00:09.720
and did they inform your path as an actor?

4
00:00:09.720 --> 00:00:11.940
- I think "Star Wars" is such a part

5
00:00:11.940 --> 00:00:13.830
of our pop cultural history.

6
00:00:13.830 --> 00:00:18.077
You know, I grew up with
"Star Wars" as a child,

7
00:00:18.077 --> 00:00:20.888
you know, seeing "Return of the Jedi"

8
00:00:20.888 --> 00:00:25.888
as a young child, meeting
Ewoks for the first, you know

9
00:00:27.090 --> 00:00:30.480
they're a part of my, the
fabric of my childhood.

10
00:00:30.480 --> 00:00:33.660
I, and so, and the female,

11
00:00:33.660 --> 00:00:38.660
like Leia's role in "Return
of the Jedi" was huge.

12
00:00:38.820 --> 00:00:42.570
Her actively involved in
the rebellion, you know

13
00:00:42.570 --> 00:00:46.950
her running on that planet
with the gun on her hip,

14
00:00:46.950 --> 00:00:51.950
her bravery, that absolutely
informed my storytelling

15
00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:57.180
as a child which then makes me think

16
00:00:57.180 --> 00:00:58.320
I wanna be a part of that.

17
00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:00.180
I wanna be somewhere like that.

18
00:01:00.180 --> 00:01:03.063
I wanna play that as an adult, you know?

19
00:01:04.927 --> 00:01:08.250
"Star Wars" is part of the fabric of our,

20
00:01:08.250 --> 00:01:10.020
of our storytelling.

21
00:01:10.020 --> 00:01:14.403
And so yes, those
characters are important.
