Speaking to Collider’s Christina Radish while promoting her role in Netflix’s Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, Mary Elizabeth Winstead said she was thrilled at the prospect having fallen in love with the character of Hera Syndulla in the Disney+ Ahsoka series.
‘She’s such an amazing character,’ said Winstead, as she went on to add:
“There’s such a wealth of experiences that we could bring to her, in terms of either going back and showing a bit of her backstory, of what led up to the moment where we see her in Ahsoka, or at least just feeling it through getting to know where she’s at now in her journey. It’s so hard to talk about without giving away things that might have been discussed in the past. All the fans of her and of Rebels know that there’s so much that can be done with that role, so I would be really excited to get to go down that path.”
Hera’s future is up for debate in terms of the overall narrative plan but Winstead did admit that Filoni was something of an open book when it came to finding out where Hera was headed next, as she reveled in the depth of knowledge Filoni carries about the breadth of the entire Star Wars universe.
He’s pretty open when it comes to things he would like to do. He lives and breathes Star Wars and there’s an infinite amount of things that he would like to do, that he could do, and his brain is firing on so many levels. I just try not to get too caught up in it because you never know what’s really going to be able to be accomplished and what’s going to make sense within all the storylines. I just wait until they call for me, and then I’ll be like, “Oh, cool, they’re actually going with that idea,” or “Oh, I guess they decided not to.” I just try to go with the flow. But it’s great to get little hints at his process and his frame of mind. It’s really cool.
