00:00:00.810 --> 00:00:03.173
- [Narrator] That's what
a reckoning sounds like.

2
00:00:04.043 --> 00:00:05.880
- [Luthean Rael] Cassian Andor,

3
00:00:05.880 --> 00:00:07.803
the empire is choking us so slowly.

4
00:00:10.290 --> 00:00:11.690
We're starting not to notice

5
00:00:13.271 --> 00:00:16.232
(upbeat music)

6
00:00:16.232 --> 00:00:17.940
- Now what, if anything, from Rogue One,

7
00:00:17.940 --> 00:00:19.530
or the Star Wars films in general

8
00:00:19.530 --> 00:00:22.560
did you draw upon for
a sense of character,

9
00:00:22.560 --> 00:00:23.940
or the larger mythology,

10
00:00:23.940 --> 00:00:26.752
or even the tone of this of series?

11
00:00:26.752 --> 00:00:31.752
- I watched all the, the, the,
the movies chronologically

12
00:00:31.890 --> 00:00:33.480
which I know there's so
many ways to watch it.

13
00:00:33.480 --> 00:00:35.503
I decided to watch it
chronologically because I

14
00:00:35.503 --> 00:00:38.820
I almost felt like I was
doing these like, almost

15
00:00:38.820 --> 00:00:42.240
like a period piece where I
needed to understand where

16
00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:44.730
in time I sort of was living

17
00:00:44.730 --> 00:00:47.520
and I needed and Bix would've
known what happened before

18
00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:48.960
like we do in just normal life.

19
00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:52.440
So I, I, that to me was really
important to feel secure

20
00:00:52.440 --> 00:00:54.873
and safe in the world.

21
00:00:56.160 --> 00:00:56.993
And then from then on,

22
00:00:56.993 --> 00:01:00.330
I think, just conversations with with Tony

23
00:01:00.330 --> 00:01:03.240
and with, with Diego himself and

24
00:01:03.240 --> 00:01:06.900
and through rehearsals,
these sort of, sort of

25
00:01:06.900 --> 00:01:08.250
sort of start fitting in.

26
00:01:08.250 --> 00:01:11.790
- Wow. I mean, I think the
tone was really developed

27
00:01:11.790 --> 00:01:15.060
from Tony Gilroy's story writing.

28
00:01:15.060 --> 00:01:17.610
And you know, his connection

29
00:01:17.610 --> 00:01:19.450
with Rogue One is obviously there

30
00:01:20.467 --> 00:01:22.140
and the homage that he had paid

31
00:01:22.140 --> 00:01:24.870
to the earlier films was
within that film as well.

32
00:01:24.870 --> 00:01:26.910
And so it's interesting

33
00:01:26.910 --> 00:01:29.520
you say, kind of like coming
into a smaller picture

34
00:01:29.520 --> 00:01:31.590
of what was a prequel, a smaller picture.

35
00:01:31.590 --> 00:01:33.840
But as we're getting
into the smaller picture

36
00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:37.920
of Andor is actually
like really fucking huge.

37
00:01:37.920 --> 00:01:38.753
- The detail!

38
00:01:38.753 --> 00:01:40.170
- You've got multiple storylines

39
00:01:40.170 --> 00:01:43.230
with a number of different
characters, all intersecting

40
00:01:43.230 --> 00:01:45.783
and interweaving for the same end point.

41
00:01:47.150 --> 00:01:50.940
And the, the real human cost,

42
00:01:50.940 --> 00:01:53.730
and the human story that's being told

43
00:01:53.730 --> 00:01:57.270
in a really different way to, I think

44
00:01:57.270 --> 00:01:59.760
Star Wars series thus far.

45
00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:01.710
- No, I didn't, I didn't see any of them.

46
00:02:01.710 --> 00:02:03.240
So I approached it entirely,

47
00:02:03.240 --> 00:02:05.250
like it was like new writing to me.

48
00:02:05.250 --> 00:02:08.460
I just, it just happened to be Star Wars.

49
00:02:08.460 --> 00:02:10.530
But when I read those first three episodes

50
00:02:10.530 --> 00:02:11.520
and I'm not even in them,

51
00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:13.830
like usually I'm reading TV scripts

52
00:02:13.830 --> 00:02:14.760
and I'm like, where am I?

53
00:02:14.760 --> 00:02:16.320
Where am I, how big is my part?

54
00:02:16.320 --> 00:02:17.153
Where am I, where?

55
00:02:17.153 --> 00:02:18.330
But with this, it,

56
00:02:18.330 --> 00:02:20.793
the writing was so good
that I was so invested

57
00:02:20.793 --> 00:02:25.650
in all of these people before
my character even entered.

58
00:02:25.650 --> 00:02:27.840
And I thought that's enough for me.

59
00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:30.120
As long as I know my
character has a journey.

60
00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:31.923
I'm so up for this.
