Friend admitted that he was very excited to bring this lightsaber to the screen. “I mean, the first time someone gave me my lightsaber, I almost passed out,” he said. “It makes you think: this is my lightsaber and we have never had this lightsaber in the Star Wars universe before. And I had to play a man who had never been in a Star Wars movie, so there was a lot of news for me. And then being next to Obi-Wan Kenobi himself is really incredible. It’s a moment of great emotion. It really was. ”
“It’s phenomenal,” he said. “It’s at double ended, as you have seen in some of the first images released. So he can use it with one or both ends. He can turn her into a whirlwind blade. He can fly with it. It’s really cool. ”
“Training with the lightsaber it’s incredible. Star Wars stuntmen are the best in the world. So every time you show up to play, as I call it, it’s like playing in the best sandpit or the best adventure castle in the world. Because I think everyone understands that those who fight with these techniques, those who have studied the way of the Jedi, have a fluid, silent and lethal efficiency in everything. ”
“They are not two boys fighting in a bar. They are masters, master swordsmen, masters of practically all martial arts imaginable combined into one. So there’s almost a ballet quality that I find very, very beautiful. ”
