The Direct was in attendance at Fan Expo Vancouver this past weekend and during the panel The Mandalorian Princess: Katee Sackhoff, the actress shared that Bo-Katan Kryze “ain’t going anywhere” and that “she’s not dead”.
The actress reasoned that because Bo-Katan isn’t dead, there’s “always” a chance she will return:
“Always! She’s not dead. She ain’t going anywhere.”
Sackhoff shared that she has an extra layer of assurance because Bo-Katan is “based off Dave Filoni’s wife,” meaning that this gives her “job security forever:”
She can’t, because she’s based off Dave Filoni’s wife. So I have job security forever. Anne [Convery] would be so pissed.”
At the same panel, Sackhoff reflected on the origins of Bo-Katan, specifically the first time she physically wore her Mandalorian armor. The actress shared that on her first day wearing Bo-Katan’s costume, she and Filoni “cried a little bit,” before panicking over the fact that she “never asked [herself] how [Bo] moved:”
“I showed up on set on my first day, because I played the character for eight years. I know her very well, I knew all of her backstory. I knew Bo very well, but I never asked myself how she moved, I never questioned that I knew how to do that. I got there on my first day, I put my armor on for the first time, and Dave Filoni was there, and we both cried a little bit, and then he left, and I looked at myself in the mirror, with Katee face, and thought, ‘Oh my god, that’s not Bo. What does Bo do? How does she [move?]'”
