Pedro Pascal reflected on his journey with the Star Wars universe during the event and said, “As soon as I saw this, I knew that it would be a new authorship of a streaming experience.”
He went on to recall growing up watching Star Wars films with his family and spoke about how meaningful it is for him to now be a part of that legacy. “But I always had a dream in my heart that it would be on a big screen because that’s how I was developed as a child. I went to the movie theatre so much with my family, and I saw the Star Wars movies on the big screen,” he added.
