Forest Whitaker, speaking recently with PeopleTV, dipped into the GFFA to discuss his Rogue One character Saw Gerrera and how he views him.
“I liked playing that character. He’s amazing because in this movie, the director put more gray into Star Wars stories than normal. He’s a character who was fighting against oppression and those dark forces that were trying to harm humanity, but yet decided to take on some of their practices in order to be able to win, because he thought the final result was more important. That’s a big question, by any means necessary, that we have to look at and see, what is necessary?
I love that concept of people looking inside themselves — as they say, the Force being with you — or being able to find your eternal power and allowing it to manifest in the world, and recognize the miraculous is possible at any moment.”
