I guess I tend to go back to the past. But, you know, it was the first time that we had technology. And it’s at a time when we had other kinds of creatures that aren’t around anymore There are just so many things about it that are fascinating to me. So yeah, I’m a deep nerd for it.” Ryan (og Danielle): Who is Sophie Thatcher's Cool Biker Chick Character in Book of Boba Fett? Let's Speculate Wildly!
