00:00I love my cast. Each of them embody their characters perfectly.
00:07I play Mae and Osha. They're twins.
00:12Osha lives now as a mech-mech.
00:16And has been shielded from some of the realities of her childhood.
00:23Mae is very connected to the coven of witches that she was raised within.
00:29Loyalty to her family is the most important thing in the world to her.
00:34Star Wars is about the light and dark side of the force.
00:37I thought that this idea of contrast and difference was more interesting.
00:41And so I decided to make them very different from each other.
00:44I have two Jedi to kill after Torben.
00:46I need a drink.
00:49We meet Chimere as a former smuggler, former trader.
00:53He spends most of his time in the apothecary.
00:57Maybe drinking a little too much.
00:59Maybe sleeping a little too much.
01:01He is trying to find his way and ends up being reluctantly pulled into this mission with Mae and her master.
01:28Why do you keep old hollows of your former Padawan?
01:31If you don't meditate on the past.
01:33We're doomed to repeat it.
01:35Jackie Nunn is a young devoted Padawan who is very talented and wise beyond her years.
01:41Master Solt!
01:43Your Fandar is a committed Jedi Knight.
01:47Invested into the council, to the Republic, and the forward movement.
01:53Brunestra Rowe is a revered Elder Jedi Master attempting to contain the events of the series as best she can.
02:02Mae targeted these three.
02:04Four.
02:05Including you, Solt.
02:08Mother Anastasia, she's strong and powerful.
02:12She's a great warrior.
02:14She's a great warrior.
02:16She's a great warrior.
02:18Mother Anastasia, she's strong and powerful.
02:22Fiercely protective of her family, her coven, her children.
02:26Doing her best to preserve their way of life.
02:34You.
02:36Surprise.
02:37Initially learning about the duality of Chimera and the Stranger, I was ecstatic.
02:42I joke that I don't know if I'd be able to top this role ever and maybe I should retire.
02:48Let me go.
02:49What you're feeling right now, this anger, this pain, this is who you are.
02:55It honestly is, yeah, a dream role for any actor to be able to tackle because of the complexities of both characters.
03:04And you get to just show a spectrum of different personality traits and characteristics.
03:09And yeah, it was such a fulfilling thing to do.
03:12Taking on something like Star Wars can be really intimidating.
03:16They never showed that.
03:17They threw themselves completely into the project.
03:20And if it meant sitting through a lot of makeup, they were happy to do that.
03:24If it meant hours of fight choreography or training, they did that.
03:30It's just the best cast I ever could have hoped for.
03:37He's here.
03:39He's here.
