Keri Russell!! She loved the mask so much she kept mask on for 2 days. #TheRiseOfSkwalker #RiseofSkywalker she loves the idea of seeing everyone but they can’t see her. pic.twitter.com/ws3S1f9XHJ— Sarah ♥️ Fennec Shand (@JediTink) December 4, 2019
Naomi Ackie as Jannah: strength is in her body, so she worked hard at training. #TheRiseOfSkwalker #RiseofSkywalker pic.twitter.com/PMs6dAVirK— Sarah ♥️ Fennec Shand (@JediTink) December 4, 2019

Billy Dee Williams: getting back to this part of Lando was no problem at all. He was very happy to work with JJ. “Great pleasure for me, coming back to play Lando”. #TheRiseOfSkwalker #RiseofSkywalker pic.twitter.com/lnRPrhHS0n— Sarah ♥️ Fennec Shand (@JediTink) December 4, 2019
So John Boyega and Oscar Isaac talk about their bromance. “It’s Juicy”. They were in the dressing room “butt to butt” running that first scene. And from then on they just had this chemistry! pic.twitter.com/H6jvjB6ulO— Sarah ♥️ Fennec Shand (@JediTink) December 4, 2019
@ava to Adam Driver: “can we call you Ben Solo?” Adam hands the mic to JJ, then says “yes and no” #TheRiseOfSkwalker #RiseofSkywalker pic.twitter.com/gjwjewE9Uv— Sarah ♥️ Fennec Shand (@JediTink) December 4, 2019
John Boyega: Rey is on this really hard journey and Finn just tries to support her any way he can. “That’s some Jesus s—!” pic.twitter.com/OkqcXkZGER— Sarah ♥️ Fennec Shand (@JediTink) December 4, 2019
Daisy Ridley - both physically and emotionally this film was hard. It was sustaining the emotion that was hard. She was bouncing off her co-actors so joyfully throughout the shoot, though. #TheRiseOfSkwalker #RiseofSkywalker pic.twitter.com/TsmZ0noJS5— Sarah ♥️ Fennec Shand (@JediTink) December 4, 2019
JJ needed for-writer Chris Terrio because he needed someone who was a Star Wars fan, but not working on SW so he could lend a fresh perspective. JJ was too close to it. #TheRiseOfSkwalker #RiseofSkywalker— Sarah ♥️ Fennec Shand (@JediTink) December 4, 2019
Chris Terrio, writer, said he and JJ could not figure out a scene in Act 3. Rick Carter said “I think the reason you cant finish this scene is that you don’t want Star Wars to end.” #TheRiseOfSkwalker #RiseofSkywalker— Sarah ♥️ Fennec Shand (@JediTink) December 4, 2019
And that’s a wrap on #TheRiseOfSkwalker #RiseofSkywalker Press Conference! pic.twitter.com/FYcwNwcS46— Sarah ♥️ Fennec Shand (@JediTink) December 4, 2019
