But this show is wasting no time, because as you may see in the trailer, Kaz and his pals witness a hologram of General Hux (Domhnall Gleeson) giving his rage-filled speech on Starkiller Base.
“You’ve just got to go for it,” Gleeson said of that speech ina previous interview. “It’sStar Wars! You want to go home thinking you gave it a shot. Because we shot different versions that were smaller, always, but that’s what J.J. [Abrams] wanted so I’m happy they went the way they did. It’s intense, but you’re about to wipe out planets and he’s proud of it! This is a different level of coldness here that your dealing with, so I thought there’s been people like that you know so lets give it a shot.”
