I really... thought this was... I guess I will say well done is what I will say. I like that Bix is not damseled.

Like, Cassian arriving gets to be heroic in helping what is happening here. But, like... Bix defends herself. Right.

Yeah. And so, like, which I was... You know, we got some emails about this. I was surprised that they said rape inside of a Star Wars property. But I'm not, like... I'm not unpleasantly surprised. I am surprised, but I think it is... For all the violence that we see inside of a Star Wars, for entire planets being obliterated, for this, that, and the other thing, I think that showing the...

Real flesh-and-blood realities of, you know, fascistic abuses of power as their perpetrator on the bodies of the oppressed I think is important to show.

Often, you know, Mo Ryan, who is a writer that I really admire, did a lot of incredible work in the TV journalism space interrogating basically sexual assault as a trend in prestige television and when and how it was used and how often it was used to motivate the male characters who know this person.

And then to be able to, like, fight back here, I thought was really important for that character. So, yeah.
