io9 sits down with the man behind the Stranger's mask to talk motivation, fight scenes—and training his apprentice.
The galaxy far, far away has been rocked by the arrival of a new agent of the dark side in the last month, as—Manny Jacinto’s not-so-shady smuggler Qimir secretly being the dark Master pulling the strings behind its titular Acolyte. But now that theits debut season , the Stranger is still as strange to us as ever.
io9: There’s a moment early on in the finale where, as the Stranger and Osha are leaving in his ship, we see this peculiar character in the shadows. We now know—how much awareness around that reveal did you have going into filming? Were you told about how he was being brought into the show, and his connection with the Stranger?I had no idea that that was gonna be the reveal.
I think the one thing that changed was that we were very… it was very down to the wire, so a lot of the choreography at that point I had to learn either the day before or on the day. We didn’t have the luxury of having a lot of time to prepare for these scenes—the actor’s strike was coming, and we didn’t know how much longer we had to shoot, so I had to move quick.
I think it really mirrors, at least from my talks with Leslye, the relationship that Osha had with Sol. Maybe it had a different outcome, so if we get a season two I think it’s something we can definitely explore and I personally would love to explore—just like how Osha and Sol had a father-daughter relationship, I think this could possibly be like a mother-son relationship between these two.
