00:03 I'm just excited for the group of people
00:17 that aren't fans yet, because this is a great starting point
00:20 for people to really enjoy the "Star Wars" universe.
00:22 Get drawn in by the story, love the characters,
00:25 and stay with that episode per episode.
00:29 The way this show unfolds is so shocking.
00:34 What I'm most excited for fans to discover
00:37 is probably the various fighting styles that are in the show.
00:40 We took a lot of inspiration from the levity
00:42 and the fast-paced nature of the fighting sequences
00:45 in the prequels, particularly.
00:47 I hope that they love the journey
00:48 and the story, the action.
00:50 And mixed with the mysterious suspense
00:52 and the thriller aspect of the show,
00:53 the action is a very driving force of the show.
00:56 Leslie builds humans and species that
00:58 are so well-rounded, vast, and dynamic.
01:01 Leslie, you know, has made something incredible.
01:03 I think it's a masterpiece, and I think
01:04 the storytelling is masterful.
01:06 All the different storylines and the twists and turns.
01:08 [SPEAKING KOREAN]
01:11 How much heart it has, the storylines that it explores
01:24 that are so relatable.
01:26 I am so excited for people to just get into the story
01:30 and, like, go discovering the mystery along
01:32 with us, the characters.
01:33 This is my dream.
01:34 I've been waiting for it ever since I was, like,
01:36 seven years old, and I'm so happy I'm living this moment.
01:39 Many have said that this is the golden era of the Jedi,
01:42 and I think Leslie really captured that.
01:44 Just how fun these characters are,
01:46 and how much they really continue the Star Wars legacy
01:49 and yet provide an opportunity to see
01:52 it from a whole new perspective.
01:53 The premiere on Disney+ can't come soon enough,
01:56 because I think that they're going to really feel transported
01:58 back to the first time they watched Star
01:59 Wars with what we've created.
02:01 Really stunned to see all the fans that are out here
02:04 and all of the Star Wars costumes.
02:07 Leslie made such a beautiful personal story.
02:10 Anyone can grasp onto whether they've
02:11 watched Star Wars a million times or never watched anything.
02:14 So I'm excited for people that just get introduced
02:16 to a new, really great story.
02:18 The more these universes get expanded,
02:20 the more energy that goes out, the more
02:22 positivity goes out.
02:23 It's just lovely.
02:24 To see a different part of the universe, a different time,
02:27 and a bunch of new Jedis, super stoked.
02:29 I am actually looking forward to seeing the martial arts.
02:32 You know, get down with the lightsabers
02:33 and all the other empty hand stuff.
02:35 It's the most meaningful thing to be able to see everybody
02:38 and celebrate this crew.
02:40 We just love Star Wars so much, and we hope
02:42 that all the fans love it.
02:43 And I hope that the people who invest in it
02:46 will feel as satisfied as I do having made it.
02:49 I'm just really excited.
02:50 I'm really happy.
02:51 I'm-- ah!
02:53 That's not a word.
02:54 That's how I feel, though.
