00:00Buongiorno. Buongiorno. Oh, that's so cool. How are you guys? We're good. Yeah, we're good. How are you?
00:10Well, I'm a little bit excited and I'm a little bit nervous because I'm in front of some of the highest officials of the ISB
00:19and I don't think you would like what I think of the Empire, so I try to appease and flatter you.
00:28Great. Flattery really works with me. I love it.
00:32So, how does it feel to have become a part and a brilliant one of the Star Wars mythology?
00:45When did you realize you are now such a big part of what Star Wars is?
00:52I think the first Junket we did, Kyle and I did it together and we hadn't seen the show.
00:57Yeah. And everyone, we had this series of amazing interviews where everyone looked so happy with the show
01:06and we were like, oh my God, this seems like, yeah, is this, I think this is good.
01:12And then when I watched it, I thought, oh my God, I felt, I really understood then what a privilege it is.
01:20And I don't say that in a way of, I'm just so privileged to be here and part of this thing.
01:23It's genuinely to be in a show like this with people I admire so much in a kind of a thing that has existed for so long,
01:33like where a grandfather and a grandson could talk to each other about this thing.
01:37That doesn't happen in any other thing, you know, like somebody who saw the original can talk to somebody who's just started watching it.
01:44I feel like I'm part of something really special with some really great people.
01:48So, I'm thrilled.
01:50That's what, that's what happened with me.
01:53My father saw the first season of Endor and he is, he exploded with joy.
02:00He told me that's the first Star Wars product that really, really, really resembled the feeling of the original.
02:11Wow.
02:12That's amazing. Thanks for that.
02:14What's the secret?
02:17Us.
02:18Tony Gilroy.
02:19Yeah, it's Tony.
02:21Really good answer.
02:21There's a couple of secrets.
02:23There's a couple of secrets.
02:24I think you have to get the look right.
02:27You have to be faithful to what 1979 sets, the electronica stuff that they had.
02:34I think that was the great secret in Rogue One, that they were slavishly attention to detail.
02:39And then you have to come up with storylines that resonate that, but resonate now.
02:45But, and, or does it par excellence?
02:47Because it's, it's so adult, so shocking, so, you know.
02:52So chic.
02:53And the costumes are really something.
02:56Yeah.
02:56In my opinion, there's another reason.
03:00The original Star Wars talked about reality, about what was happening back there through the sci-fi.
03:08And that's what Endor is doing right now.
03:11I don't know when you filmed the second season, but how do you feel today watching what's happening worldwide in parallel to what happened during the second season of Endor?
03:29Well, when we filmed this and when Tony and Dan and everyone wrote it, it was before now.
03:37But I have realized throughout my history in theatre of working on really great writing, great writing is timeless.
03:44And so you can do a play that was written 100 years ago, and people will respond in the moment to themes that are relevant to them in the moment now.
03:55Like, I did Angels in America on Broadway 30 years after it had been done originally, and it had this whole new thing that people were responding to.
04:04And I feel like to localize the themes of this show to now sort of does the show a disservice because it's talking about throughout history and the rebellions.
04:15Because all of the themes, all of the themes that everyone is getting, fortunately and unfortunately, a lot of the time, things haven't changed much, have they?
04:26So I feel like I want to hear what people's response is rather than us telling you what it's about or what we think it's about relating to now, because we made it at a time that wasn't now, like I said.
04:39And so it'll be really interesting to hear from audiences what they respond to in it, because I think it will be a deeply personal experience for people.
04:50I have goosebumps more than once. I can't spoil anything I know, but during a particular speech, I really was moved.
05:02Yeah, it's remarkable. It's like, whoa.
05:06And that's what we want. You know, you want to be part of something that's engaging people on a level that's like, it's not just, it's not an intellectual thing.
05:14Your body has a response to these things.
05:17When you get the goosebumps, that's the magic. That's the best thing that can happen as an audience for us.
05:23We're delighted when that happens.
05:26And since you talk about bodies, there's an aspect of the villains in Star Wars that I love.
05:35And it's the body language.
05:38They're also austere, they're formal, they're solemn.
05:42How much you had to work on your body language to play this solemn and austere character?
05:52Well, Ben Caron just told me in the first episode when I got the gun and the coat and the collar and the thing, I was moving my hands around a lot.
06:02And he brought me to the monitor to have a look.
06:04And he was like, it's a bit swishy.
06:06And he was so right.
06:07I was losing all my power with this fixing.
06:10And he said, why don't you just try it with your hands behind your back?
06:13And suddenly it became that Deirdre just doesn't ever let this down.
06:18And then she has like a tick.
06:22So it's just that.
06:23And I think we had that in the dinner party, getting ready for the dinner party scene,
06:27where they're both going through all of this up here.
06:31But you just can't.
06:32So I had help from, I'm used to having to do like big movements because I'm on stage.
06:37But I think distilling it all down into something very, very cold and still was key.
06:45And we have a real advantage too.
06:47We can watch A New Hope, right?
06:49Star Wars film number one and go, oh, okay, okay, okay.
06:53And they are, you know, these old, very venerable kind of, you know, English actors that are going like,
07:00I am, you know, you know, that have a lot of authority.
07:04Yeah.
07:04Yeah, yeah, yeah.
07:05And you can ape that a bit and play around with it.
07:08The power of like an eyebrow raise.
07:11Yeah.
07:11And the costumes, right?
07:13They do a lot.
07:14Michael Wilkinson's costumes, especially for Cyril, were just so tailored to within an inch of their life
07:20that I didn't have any other option.
07:23Yeah.
07:24But I could have said something.
07:27But I thought, oh, no, this is really interesting.
07:29And how confined and how constrained and how much the costume,
07:34the sort of spirit of the costume is informing the character and vice versa.
07:38Because you can't, I noticed with some of this, supporting artists.
07:43It makes you stand up.
07:44Because if you slouch, it wrinkles.
07:47Yeah.
07:47So you have to see.
07:48Everything in that costume brings you just art.
07:51Yeah, it does.
07:52And the big things and the cape.
07:54The cape was awesome.
07:55And the gloves and all of that.
07:56Yeah.
07:58His cape work was really something.
08:06So, Ben, about your character.
08:09When will...
08:11Claudio, let him finish his question.
08:14I'll give him a very quick answer and then we're done.
08:16Please.
08:16When we saw your character be back, we know things here are really going to get serious.
08:26How do you feel it?
08:27How do you express it?
08:29It's a great moment when we saw you and we know, okay, okay, okay.
08:34I know where we're going from there.
08:36Thank you.
08:36How I do it is to take the text that's written.
08:40I know what Tony's referring to because he's giving me secret whispers.
08:45But I know where we're going.
08:46And I know that Death Star will be built.
08:49So, now we're going to go on a journey of this is how it's going to happen.
08:53And I need you, you and you to do this.
08:57And we're going to do it like that.
08:58Why?
08:59Because these people are like this.
09:01Don't you know?
09:01And if it has to be that, slowly, slowly, I'm going to take you to a different place.
09:05And Claudio, it is a great pleasure to meet you.
09:08Once again, goosebumps.
09:10Thank you, guys.
09:13Bye.
