It's not often that an actor who originated a character in animation goes on to portray the role in live-action, but Katee Sackhoff just pulled it off.
Sackhoff made her "The Mandalorian" debut in "The Heiress," the third episode of season two, as Bo-Katan Kryze, a character she's portrayed for years in "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" and "Star Wars Rebels."
Bo-Katan is a character with plenty of backstory. She was introduced as a member of a Mandalorian terrorist group who was trying to bring the ancient warrior ways back to Mandalore, which at the time was ruled by her sister. She's had to reclaim Mandalore from outside forces more than once.
"I think it's kind of fun that she's got all this backstory," Sackhoff says during a recent phone call.
Even so, there is still plenty of Bo-Katan's story that is unknown to "Star Wars" fans and even Sackhoff herself. Below, Sackhoff discusses her thoughts on Bo-Katan, approaching the live-action version of this character and what she did to make sure she nailed that key line in the episode.
