In the same interview, Law also spoke about joining the space opera franchise and what attracted him to the role in the first place. Law stated that he had been a fan of the franchise since his childhood, being one of the millions who experienced the magic ofthe 1977 original film.
I’ve always had a soft spot for it. I played it as a kid running around pew-pewing and collecting the figures and cards. So, it just felt very familiar actually. What really kind of lured me in was the curiosity of how they make these things and the different parameters or rules that apply for it to be or feel like an authentic ‘Star Wars’ show or film. I think, from that perspective, it absolutely lived up to expectation. The on-camera puppetry and animatronics and all of that was wonderful to experience.
Law made the above comment, explaining that his love for the franchise was one of the primary reasons he was attracted to the series.
