“I had a hard time actually keeping my tears back,” the actor said.
“I was really tearing up.
I didn’t expect that.”
“He’s a top strategist,” Mikkelsen teases.
“He’s always seven paces ahead of anybody else.
And ruthless, of course.
But only when it’s needed, actually.
I think he thrives also with the creativity of the surroundings.
I mean, he’s not using people in a bad way.
He’s using their creativity to reach his goals.”
At one point, Sabine cuts her hair into a short crop, returning to her familiar look fromRebels.
Ahsokawill premiere with two episodes Aug. 23 on Disney+.
