00:00 Congratulations on the show. I'm hearing very good things.
00:03 So lovely headline from Forbes. I can't remember what it said.
00:06 It said some very positive words.
00:09 Oh, that's good. That's good.
00:10 Let me watch it though.
00:11 I don't read anything. My wife just gives me the weather report.
00:15 I was going to ask. Are you the most nervous or the most confident woman here today?
00:18 I'm terrified. I'm absolutely terrified.
00:21 I've worked on this for four years. It's my baby.
00:24 I have combed every moment, every performance, every stunt.
00:30 I have tried to perfect this so that when it goes out into the world,
00:34 it's a representation of not only what I love,
00:38 but the insane amount of work that the cast and crew put into this.
00:41 I think you can see that on the screen or on your phone.
00:46 Doing something like Star Wars as a creative, especially like show running something like this,
00:51 it has to be a potential, has a potential to be one of the most rewarding things you could ever do in your life and career.
00:57 And also one of the most terrifying, scary disasters you could do in your entire career
01:01 because the people are so passionate about it.
01:04 I was saying before, it's like Star Wars is so powerful that I think if you,
01:12 even if you're not a fan when you watch it, there's some feeling of ownership over it.
01:16 It feels like, especially when you watch episode four,
01:20 I think there's this feeling of, because you have such a deep reaction,
01:27 there's this feeling of like, this is happening to me.
01:30 You know, it's a masterpiece written by a genius.
01:32 You know, like it feels so personal when you watch it.
01:36 So it makes sense to me that there would be a lot of discourse with a capital D, you know,
01:41 but that there would be a lot of passion for people when they watch Star Wars media.
01:48 And finally, there's been, people love it so much, there's been so much Star Wars content,
01:51 like increasing Star Wars content over the last few years.
01:53 The news we're hearing out of Disney at the moment is that they're going to scale it back a little bit,
01:57 leave people wanting more, maybe a bit less, a few less series, a few less movies, but keep it going.
02:02 Do you think that's the right move? Keep people on the edge of their seats?
02:05 Well, first of all, I have no idea what's going on at that level.
02:09 I feel like I've been so in the micro of my show that I genuinely don't know what's going on in the macro.
02:15 I just know that I love Star Wars so much that the more Star Wars media, sorry, media that we can get, the better.
02:22 So to me, when people talk about Star Wars fatigue, I'm like,
02:27 What's that?
02:28 I don't know if I can say this, but I'm like a pig in shit.
02:32 You can say it. That's fine.
02:33 Just, I would like more. And getting to add to it is, yes, it's a dream and a nightmare.
