Who are these insurgents brazen enough to go against the Empire?
And just who, exactly, are they battling?
Most of the meeting was conducted in whispers as he explained the story and the character, Jones says.
Jonathan Olley
Nearly two years later Jones is finally at the stage when she can talk about it.
Diego Luna says there are secrets about his character that will be revealed in due time.
Otherwise you would have to get me drunk.
Jonathan Olley

I do feel I was allowed to be part of [his creation.]
I dont feel I was dressed and placed there to say my lines, he says.

I was building my character, but he is a very mysterious one.
Hes a really potent character, says Forest Whitaker.

K-2SO (Alan Tudyk)

The former imperial security enforcer is the toughest and most confident droid weve met yet.
He can kick all their asses, Alan Tudyk says.
BB-8, itd be like soccer.
He doesnt give a s— about what you think, Edwards says.
He doesnt fully check himself before he says things and does things.
So lets just say, no, I did not ever once fall down.
Not even that one time.
I think I stressed out my wardrobe people, he says.
They were always running after me, like You forgot your cape!
Hes the driving force behind a project that theyre undertaking, Ben Mendelsohn teases.
