It’s a big screen experience. There was something about being a part of Star Wars in a streaming experience that I knew was gonna break the wheel, and provide that experience at home for people. [Getting to] experience these movies on the big screen, that was my secret wish from the beginning. I love that [The Mandalorian] had beautiful seasons for people to see at home, but now, [our director] Jon Favreau knows a big screen experience, puts all of his love of Star Wars, all of his love of movies into this one, on the biggest screen possible. It’s a thrill ride.
