Actor Katee Sackhoff discusses the incident where her co-star Carl Weathers labeled her as 'boring' and how this unexpected criticism boosted their connection in the series "The Mandalorian".
Unfiltered Take: The Pirate Revelation on The Mandalorian
Dive back into the galaxy far, far away with Disney+'s subscription service and rewatch Season 3's "The Pirate" episode. In this installment, we witness Katee Sackhoff's Bo-Katan Kryze and the late Carl Weathers' Greef Karga cross paths for the first time. The Children of the Watch faction, led by Sackhoff and Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal), team up to safeguard Nevarro from rampaging pirates. While filming, an intriguing behind-the-scenes moment unfolded—Weathers, famously known for his role as Apollo Creed in the Rocky series, delivered an unexpected criticism to Sackhoff.
As Sackhoff shared during an interview on The Sackhoff Show, broadcast moderated by one of Din's on-set doubles, Brendan Wayne, Weathers called her "boring." Contrary to perception, his criticism wasn't a personal slight but a push for Sackhoff to elevate her performance. To clarify, Weathers was referring to Bo-Katan's "movement and the way that your voice moves." Sackhoff initially operated under the assumption that any issues with her delivery would be corrected during post-production, but Weathers insisted on authenticity for a more effective and collaborative performance.
Recognizing the constructive nature of Weathers' feedback, Sackhoff conceded and ultimately enhanced their working relationship. Reflecting on the experience, she acknowledged Weathers as "a behemoth of a man" and praised him for his insightful direction.
Unfortunately, Weathers passed away on February 2, 2024, at the age of 76, leaving fans without the opportunity to see him rejoin forces with Bo-Katan Kryze in future seasons. Nevertheless, Sackhoff's memories of their collaboration remain, offering a glimpse into the dynamics behind the scenes of The Mandalorian.
Despite Carl Weathers' departure from the series, fans can anticipate Sackhoff's return in some capacity. In a recent interview with ScreenRant, she confirmed their expectation, "We will see her again in some form." With a new season of The Mandalorian & Grogu brewing, fans hold their breath for further updates about Bo-Katan Kryze's future appearances.
In the meantime, excitement mounts for various other upcoming Star Wars movies and TV shows.
