today. Let's go to the news Star Wars Galactic Nights is returning to

Because he's an Ewok, oh and a lawyer. Kevin the Ewok esquire.
(music playing)
(people laughing)
(people cheering)
He's heading for that small moon! That's no moon...
We have TJ Ramini on the studio today
and we're gonna talk all about Battlefront because it's so close yeah
that must be super exciting for you because it's very exciting time yeah I
mean we shot for about four months, you know it was extraordinary I think we all
kind of knew even on the table reads this is going to be exceptional I mean
not only because it's a Star Wars project and it's something that we all
took very seriously we're very kind of passionate about but it's just a great
team it was just the right people in the in the right room at the right time in
the fact that we got to rehearse before we shot was massive for us because it
helped us to really find the characters and to understand the relationship
because I think for the three of us we know for myself and for Janina and for
Paul having the time to rehearse and sort of find those relationships was was
wicked. The team dynamic of the Inferno squad is obviously very important to the
story but the the team dynamic that you had with Paul and Jenna and working and
making this game can you tell me a little bit what that process was like?
yeah it was very easy really for the three of us to not only gel and kind of
bond but also to start talking very seriously about the relationships and
the dynamics between this sort of triumvirate of fabulousness that is
the Inferno Squadron. You have a good amount of experience working in video games was
there anything that was especially unique about walking into working on
Battlefront? I've voiced a few characters and some pretty sizable video games but
motion-capture is always daunting it's like making a film and a play at the
same time so you've really got to allow your imagination to flourish let's talk
a little bit about the Inferno Squad themselves so tasks I didn't they have
different specialties different backgrounds different personalities how
do you think that helps them work together? you know you need to have
people who bring different skills when battlefront two starts the unit is
already set and we know what it is that we bring and we know what it is that we
do and we know what the hierarchy is and Iden is very much the commander she
brings focus and concentration and this kind of resolute never-say-die attitude
hask brings this sort of razor focused zero
compassion zero empathy yes follow orders get things done.
Del brings enormous experience what he also brings because of his experience in the
fact that he's had such a sort of broad spectrum of training in all these
different arenas is humor. Right, Which i think is really important having that
ability to cut through whatever it may be and crack a little joke at the right
time just to kind of remind everybody what you're fighting for
I think it's massively massively important I think another level of that
is that you're portraying an imperial and you're bringing a relatability and a
personality to them what was it like kind of telling the story from that
point of view and showing that these aren't evil villains they're just guys
that are doing what they think is right exactly I think people looking at these
Imperial soldiers and thinking oh okay they kind of just like the Rebels but in
different outfits right of course we don't know where the baddies what would
you say is the one thing that you want players to walk away from this game well
I think just to sit back and kind of gaze in wonder and awe at how this Star
Wars universe just continues to expand and I think that that's gonna be one of
the things that players are going to enjoy the most is it it's a very very
Star Warsy experience but so much great new stuff and again for me that
was a privilege this franchise has just continued to give us so much and these
mediums are cross collaborating all the time and I think that that is something
that Star Wars fans whether you're a gamer or not will really appreciate
about this project I can't wait to play it
