“It was a really happy time, honestly. It’s funny how familiar it all feels, you know? I mean, I’ve grown up with it for 40-odd years.
And so you walk onto a set, and there’s a bounty hunter, a Jawa, and all these familiar faces in many ways. It feels like a world. You think, ‘Ah, yeah, I know these guys.’
Obviously, it’s a whole lot of fun. And I don’t say that in any patronizing way, but, you know, I really wanted to bring fun to it. I remember the original films just brought me so much joy and the fun that it seemed they were having – Carrie Fisher, Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill.
I wanted to try and draw on that, embrace it myself, and not take it too seriously.
[A lot of] that was made easy because the main cast is really our children. And honestly, living it through them was a really great addition for me. You know, it really highlighted the wonderment of the whole thing and an amazing group of directors. It was Jon Watts, but also The Daniels and David Lowrey and Lee Isaac Chung, and Bryce Dallas Howard, incredible directors who all brought their own [thing]. What was funny was, having been on it after a few months, I knew every day the first day they’d all be like— they couldn’t hide their own enthusiasm because, like me, they’d all grown up, and suddenly they were in that world, too.”
