/Film’s Ryan Scott recently talked to Rory Ross, an actor with roles in both “The Book of Boba Fett” as one of the Tusken Raiders and the upcoming “Obi-Wan Kenobi” as a Stormtrooper. We previously brought you the juicy tidbit from their conversation that Ross believes “Obi-Wan Kenobi” will be every fan’s dream series, and now we have even more intriguing details about his perspective on the rampant secrecy surrounding his roles in these shows. In response to a question about how “intense” it is from his point of view, Ross answered:
“I mean, you definitely sign a lot of NDAs, so that’s why I have to be careful on talking about proprietary technology. Obviously, the Volume has already been explored in the ‘[Disney] Gallery’ series, which I definitely recommend people watching that if they’re curious about behind the scenes. Especially when it comes to ‘Kenobi,’ there hasn’t been a lot out there. So that’s why I’m like, ‘I’m a Stormtrooper. People are going to enjoy it. It’s going to be a fun time.’”
“Got to be Very Careful What You Do and Don’t Say”
As much as I think we sometimes take the anti-spoiler conversation to some really silly lengths sometimes, the gist of Ross’s statements here are on-point. In any case, it’s fun to hear about these sorts of concerns from a vastly different perspective of our own … even if Ross himself appears to be a knowledgeable and passionate “Star Wars” fan in his own right. Check out the full interview to see for yourself.
“I mean, you want to make sure that you’re not spoiling anything, as well, for the fans. Because you imagine if someone knew about Grogu, or even Luke Skywalker [in ‘The Mandalorian’]. That would be devastating to know beforehand. So I would never want to be the one that would give out any of those big things or anything like that, and just enjoy the show. I’m happy to talk with the fans and stuff like that. But yeah, got to be very careful what you do and don’t say.”
