Passionate games Jackie, a human-thylin hybrid Padawan who plays a very important role in the recently released series of the galactic franchise. A new big step in his career after achieving world fame in Logan when interpreting Laura/X-23 already Lyra V dark matter.
The translator took advantage of the series’ publicity to introduce it to fans and the press in Madrid. Inspired, she visited Hipertextual to talk to us about what her involvement in one of the most important sagas in cinema history was like. First of all, he dreams of opening the way for many representatives of national industry. “I hope so because in Spain we have great actors and it’s time for us to break into Hollywood a little bit. We already have Penelope Cruz already Javier Bardem But… star Wars“, He says.
The Acolyte is a new Star Wars series.
A former padawan He reunites with his Jedi Master to investigate a series of crimes, only to discover that the forces they face are more sinister than they ever expected.
To love for star Wars
Passionate admits that she feels enormous gratitude for the opportunity that opened up to her with Novice. “Look, it’s really cool because as an actor you spend your life trying to get people to be interested in what you do and see it. star Wars You come with 40 years of fandom, 40 years of experience and stories, and people who are just as passionate about the project as you are,” he says.
“It’s always a struggle: ‘Please look at what we’ve done.’ And the fact that you’re doing something that you know matters and that people love comes with a lot of pressure, but it’s also a very rewarding part,” insists the actress. It was also especially important to her because, like many children, she liked star Wars since I was very small.
“My star Wars It was original because I saw it with my father. My father made me watch the originals and looked at them in the order in which they were made. And then, obviously, because of the generation I was born into, the sequels came out. Then I remember watching the sequel in the cinema,” he says. Passionate. Either way, he considers himself a big fan of all the trilogies. “I loved the prequels and the originals. I liked PadméI was obsessed Padmé because she’s so cool and so beautiful… And Anakin, Luke, Han Solo, Lei…I liked it,” he confirms.
star Wars for new generations
Just like she grew up with him star Wars classical, Dafne Keen hopes that it can offer a much more open and inclusive saga, starting with Novice. “It’s important that young people see themselves reflected in the content we consume. We live in a world that is absolutely mixed and nuanced, and especially in Gen Z there is a lot of normalization and weirdness,” he defends.
“I say this in interviews, Leslie Headland He wrote it very beautifully, and it doesn’t matter if these characters are racial. And I won’t talk about the sexuality of the characters, you take from there what you want. But that doesn’t matter, that’s the least part of the story. They just exist and there is no need to even have a conversation about what black women like, about what Charlie Barnett It’s black, what’s that about? Lee Jung-jae Asian… They just exist and nothing happens,” he says. A position that ostracizes criticism has received Novice from the most conservative and reactionary layers.
Against criticism Novice
It was about those toxic comments that he wanted to express his opinion. “It’s difficult, it’s difficult. I can understand what is so important to you because star Wars This is something that means a lot to a lot of people… I understand that if you are a person who is affected by this, you feel it quite passionately and feel like you have to share it with the world,” begins his reflection, dismissing it anyway destructive criticism of both Novice like any other type.
“The fact that we, as a generation, feel the need to share our negative thoughts with the world and take them to a public forum without thinking about the people who might be affected by them seems ugly to me. I think people should think about what they are doing. First of all for them, because at the end of the day, I like to go to bed and think that I was a good person that day. And if you’ve spent the day saying terrible things about other people you don’t know, I. I think that’s all. It stains your spirit. So it’s more because of them,” he shares. Passionate.
“The truth is that we hope that what we did will change some people’s minds. And we take this with great humor. We send us “Wokelyte” comments. Amanda Stenberg Me too. We can see everything, we’re both on Twitter from secret accounts,” says the actress, smiling and proud of the positive messages her show conveys.
Create Jackie
As for his character Novice, Passionate commented on how, despite constant comparisons with X-23These are two completely different women. “I think they are very different, especially because Laura It’s completely wild and Jackie vice versa. Jackie He was a member of the Jedi Order, which is very strict and you can’t have all the emotional stuff, interpersonal relationships, you’re not allowed to go beyond that. AND Laura Meanwhile, she is a girl alone, essentially in the laboratory, completely abandoned. And this is a weapon of destruction,” he lists.
In this regard, he also points to the battle scenes in Logan and its difference from Novice. “You can even see it in the way these two fight. Laura He’s going to kill you as soon as he can, cut your head off or stab you with whatever. The last thing the Jedi are going to do is kill you, and it’s more like form, meditation and mind,” he says. Therefore the way to fight Jackie this is what stops Passionate This is important despite the fact that he is an extremely calm and rational character.
“It’s a very good way to get closer to the character, to get to know how he moves. And that says so much about her as a person… I think when you see the action, you see a different side of the character.” Jackie that you can’t appreciate it if you don’t see her move, and that’s when you realize how talented she is,” he defines her.
Finally, regarding the interpersonal relationships mentioned Passionateat the premiere Novice in Madrid, the actress said that between Jackie And Osha throughout the entire series. “I can’t tell you more. What I can tell you is that a very beautiful thing is created between Osha And Jackie And? Osha opens your eyes to the world Jackie. And take from there what you want,” he says, trying not to reveal more than necessary.
