00:00Tim, I don't think fans could have ever predicted that Boba Fett would go on this kind of vision quest from a lizard with the Tusken Raiders.
00:09So what was your reaction?
00:11Oh, I loved it.
00:13Yeah, we don't.
00:14It's so much fun to get to see all of these sort of new chapters.
00:19Yes, it's great.
00:20And I think that's what it's about is just revealing the real Boba, what he's been through.
00:25We're stripping away the layers, finding him at his vulnerable points, the influence of the Tuscans.
00:35They trained him to make him hard.
00:37They trained him to survive in these harsh conditions, taken into their tribe, becoming schooled in their arts, in their martial arts,
00:53having their sensei, the Tuscan sensei, take me under her wing.
01:00Actually, I must mention, she's done a great job.
01:02Joanna Bennett, she played that Tuscan who trained me.
01:07And what a wonderful job.
01:08Actually, I met Joanna on Aquaman.
01:11She'll be talking about that.
01:12And she was Nicole Kidman stunt double as well.
01:16So I had a wonderful relationship.
01:18I already knew.
01:19And that's why we had that kind of good rapport, too, with all the training.
01:23And I think this is what the series is about, revealing some of these stories and the background stories.
01:30So we've been blessed that we didn't see too much of Boba in those earlier episodes.
01:34So now it's a blessing.
01:35Now we can discover his world.
01:37Yeah.
01:38Along with the fans.
01:39So I'm glad you enjoyed it.
01:40Yeah.
01:40So we went on a trip, the rebirthing, I think that's what that was all about, finding the branch.
01:50I mean, what I loved when I watched it was really seeing Boba going from that solo, alone, bounty hunter, and then becoming part of the Tuscan tribe and family.
02:05And, you know, nurturing that sort of humanity in him that I don't think was there earlier on.
02:14And it was really, as a fan, as a Star Wars fan, it was remarkable.
02:18And it was so much fun to watch that transformation.
02:22And it's certainly going to get better.
02:24Better.
02:25That's right.
02:25Episode two kind of, you know, episode one had to do a lot of setting up, I guess, and a little bit of filling in the gaps.
02:31And then I felt episode two has really, really sort of went up a notch, I feel.
02:38But we'll wait and see.
02:39But it was very exciting.
02:41Very exciting.
02:42Wonderful place to work.
02:44Wonderful people we had to work with.
02:45Very talented people.
02:47Very talented.
02:47And we had a great time as well.
02:49Yes.
02:50Didn't we, Ming?
02:50We had a great time.
02:51We had a fabulous time.
02:53Can't wait to do it some more.
