Katee Sackhoff has been part of the
Star Wars universe since 2017, but this year marks the first time she really got her hands dirty as Bo-Katan Kryze. Physically, that is.
The
Clone Wars and
Star Wars Rebels character is no stranger to a bit of rough and tumble she s a former member of the formidable Death Watch, a terrorist group hell-bent on making their native home of Mandalore a warrior nation once more. But up until
The Mandalorian season 2, Sackhoff only ever
voiced the fan-favorite character. For the live-action Disney+ series, the actress needed to bring a completely different kind of performance. “I played the voice of her for so long I can picture her in my head,” Sackhoff tells ELLE.com. “I dream as her but I ve never actually moved as her, and that was something that took a lot of work.”
