- I like the idea of a character that is willing to
sacrifice everything to bring freedom to the galaxy.

Being part of this universe was already enough for me.
I would have said yes if they offered me
to be a storm trooper, or whatever, in this film.
I thought Cassian was a great character.
Because it is...
it is a true hero to me.
It's an inspiring character that shows you that
you're capable of doing great stuff.
This group of rebels are these heroes that are
just ordinary people, but doing extraordinary things.
And showing that if you work as a team,
you're capable of many amazing things.
And I kinda like that, I like the idea of
a character that is willing to sacrifice everything
to bring freedom to the galaxy.
That believes in a cause and goes all the way.
That is ready to get his hands dirty for a good reason.
- Why does she get a blaster and I don't?
- What?
- I know how to use it.
- That's what I'm afraid of. Give it to me.
Where'd you get it?
- I found it.
Trust goes both ways.
- My character is an intelligence officer,
he's a spy.
So he's not very good at relating with other humans,
with other people.
He's very closed, he's very mysterious,
his best friend is a droid that he reprogrammed.
So that tells you a lot about him.
And I like the journey of this,
and the arc that this relation has.
It's two people that at the beginning, they don't think
they can actually achieve anything together.
And by leaving differences aside,
they understand they're stronger together,
and they realize they have a lot in common.
And that is kinda cool, I think.
And it says a lot about how we have to...
approach this modern world, we cannot live in our bubbles.
We have to understand we're part of something bigger.
If you're really doing this,
I want to help.
- Good.
There was a lot of complicated moments.
I guess that all the fight scenes.
Because that is a choreography, and involves so many.
And you need a lot of time to prepare those.
Like piloting, and shooting,
and all of that was a lot of fun,
but these ones are literally like choregraphies,
where you have to understand what everyone else is doing.
And it's quite complicated.
It was a challenge.

(alarm ringing)
On your right!
We were doing all the stuff, most of the stuff at least.
Just when it was really dangerous,
they would ask us not to do it.
But normally we would like to do it.
We wanted to be the characters.
We wanted to make sure every choice was made...
by us.
I don't know, I didn't want to see anyone
walking in the distance as Cassian.
I wanted to do it.
I wanted to make sure I was behind every second
of this character on frame.
