I feel like we, the kids brought so much energy and lightheartedness to the set.
And I love my character so much because he is really brave, really hopeful.
He’s so brave and hopeful, and he always tries to put a positive spin on any situation.
I feel like that’s so admirable.
He’s really unlike all of his other friends… Wim doesn’t have a mom, so that’s hard for him.
His dad isn’t really around too much.
So, Wim is left to make his own fun.
And I feel like that’s really fun to see because it’s relatable.
It’s fun to watch.
What Does Wim Know About the Jedi?
Ravi Cabot-Conyers: I feel like he knows nothing about what the galaxy is like.
He really believes the Jedi help people and that they just fight bad guys and celebrate victories.
But, you know, it’s not like that.
I personally love Jedi.
I think they’re so cool.
I feel like they share that same perspective as Wim.
… Wim loves his stories.
Wim loves reading up about Jedi.
And I think kids love learning about new stuff too.
Ravi Cabot-Conyers: He was so good.
I think he did two of the episodes.
And he was also a writer…
He’s so cooperative and comfortable with any circumstance.
And, George, while we were doing stunt training, George Cottle Facetimed Tom Holland.
So we got to talk to Tom Holland, which is so much fun.
And he was actually, he was actually on set when George called him.
It was really funny.
We heard ‘Goonies,’ ‘ET,’ Amblin style.
I love that style.
I was familiar with ‘Stranger Things.’
It was right around the time that Season 4 came out, I believe.
And so it was like around Summer of 2022 when we started.
So we were watching that.
We were really into it.
Ravi Cabot-Conyers: Robert really is funny.
He’s really funny on and off set.
He brought his own comedic twist to each scene.
I can’t talk about it enough.
All of us really worked well together.
And Ryan was like, ‘Oh my God, you’re so tall.’
Everybody was so nice.
Everyone was so fun to work with.
All the kids were so much fun.
We were all around the same age.
I’d never really worked with people my age before.
So it was really fun.
Ravi Cabot-Conyers: So he had these, like, this is traumatizing.
He had these rubber gloves that had the most weird feeling ever.
It was like slimy, but rubbery.
It felt so weird.
So when they moved the joystick, it would move his eyes and his trunk.
It was the funniest thing.
I
It was so fun to work with.
And all the aliens were really real, too.
It was so funny.
Ravi Cabot-Conyers: He was so amazing.
He’s so grounded…
He’s respectful to the directors and his co-stars.
And you know, he’s really able to stay focused in between takes…
In addition to being such a fantastic actor, he’s such a nice guy.
