00:00 Congratulations, you have fulfilled every boy's dream of getting your own lightsaber.

00:06 What is that moment like to stand, see yourself in the mirror, holding that thing,

00:12 and know you're about to tell some stories with it?

00:15 I didn't know I would feel so moved holding the lightsaber for the first time.

00:21 So when I put on that costume, held that lightsaber, I had this very emotional response to it,

00:27 and I wanted to do the role justice to express this feeling.

00:32 It was a very strange feeling.

00:34 And speaking of emotional responses, you've got two fandoms on edge this year.

00:40 The Star Wars fans, who are always excited for what's to come,

00:44 and of course the Squid Game fans, who've been waiting very patiently for a series two.

00:48 So who are you more nervous to deliver something good to?

00:54 Who scares you more, the Squid Game fans or the Star Wars fans?

00:58 Oh, the fandoms are a bit different.

01:00 The two fandoms are very different, but both are so precious to me.

01:04 Of course, the Star Wars fandom has a longer history and is also extremely passionate.

01:09 So when I was acting as Master Soul, I was afraid I would make a mistake,

01:13 but I really hope that people like my version of Master Soul.

01:16 I really wanted to do well.

01:18 Well, I can't wait to see more of it, and I certainly can't wait for the other series as well.

01:23 have a great night tonight and congratulations.
