One of the best decisions was to bring Genevieve back. Andor has given the character of Mon so much depth. To see her struggle in the political and domestic spheres, make sacrifices, and risk it all is just fantastic growth.
I haven’t seen her in nearly enough over the years but I really rate her. The Andor performance is subtle and almost small but she really sells the dread and paranoia she has to deal with on a constant basis. Mon Mothma is a swan: graceful but furiously paddling just below the surface to keep afloat.
she appeared in a couple of deleted scenes almost twenty years ago, based mostly on her basic resemblance to a minor character from a forty-year-old movie… and now she’s the most prolific character in _Star Wars_ right now 👍
They brought her back in Rogue One and Rebels before Andor and Ahsoka. It was rough that they did not even ask her to voice the character in the Clone Wars cartoons
As she says, her journey as Mon Mothma is so interesting, from deleted scenes in episode 3 to being asked to do her voice in animation to a live action role in Rogue One to being 1/2 of all of Andor!
One of the most iconic lines in the original trilogy is "Many Bothans died." And that line is delivered with such pathos that it lends an immediate depth to Mon Mothma that is lacking in many other Rebellion leaders. It's so great seeing that explored in such depth.
"One of the many beautiful things about this piece (Andor) and about being part of this piece is that Tony Gilroy and our writers and our creators are using the genre of science fiction, but what they're really doing is holding up a mirror to us and our humanity. So it speaks to all of us and it's very prescient" - Genevieve O'reilly (Mon Mothma) Like this post, if you truly understand what Genevieve and Tony Gilroy have tried to tell us at this event.
Obi-Wan Kenobi is my favorite fictional character of all time (not even just Star Wars). Mon Mothma, with the extended look into her character from Andor, has rapidly become a close second.
Incredible that an actress basically cast to play a bit part because she looked like a different actress has gone on to become an integral part of the SW universe. I'm so thrilled for her, and we're lucky to have her.
I also think caroline the original gave us depth and gravitas, it was a great idea to build upon her performance it just goes to show that old saying there is no such thing as a small part….
I love that she gives so much kudos to the writers and designers. Mon surprised me in Andor. I love that she has those struggles and worries. Love that she has to thread the needle so finely. Genevieve is a fabulous actress, watch her face in the scene where the talk about a forced marriage for her daughter happens. That scene broke my heart
she took that character and made it her own, stunning acting, brilliant performances, so happy she finally got the deep dive into Mon, she deserves all the praise
Andor is the best piece of Star Wars content since Rogue One. The other shows have loads of nostalgia (Kenobi) and memes (Mandalorian, Boba), but Andor is a full blown drama in space, so well done.
Andor is great because it showcases our obsessions & concessions be it good or bad. End of the day it's about being human. Sometimes we get washed along with the tsunami & smashed into cliffs & there are some of us who will defy all circumstances to survive. Real life very often throws us into a situation of choosing between the devil & the deep blue sea; challenges to our ideals & principles. Love the show!
I just thought of something: it's kind of rare to see her do these sort of things. Still hoping to see her make an appearance at BlizzCon since Moira from Overwatch is her only video game voice role so far.
Yes, she's busy, but I think she's neglected the other side of Overwatch. Maybe it's an expiring contract or something like that, but I hope she shows up there.
And all because of Caroline Blakiston’s amazing moment as the original Mon. It’s a great tribute. Such a compelling actress. Lovely of Genevieve to give her props. She seems such a lovely person and so brilliant in Andor. Great casting ❤
She probably never guessed to have such a great supporting role in andor as mon mothma. She probably thought it was just a small one time role since rogue one
As someone who stood in line for the first SW film? I Wish they just Restart from the very beginning in the Old Republic or whatever that would be? And put movies out IN-ORDER from there? 😉 Right now? its all just a big jumbled mess for the average person to ever understand the SW Universe 😵💫
I like Genevieve O'Reilly, but she wasn't particularly interesting or compelling in Andor unfortunately. I enjoyed more the mystique about her from Return of the Jedi up to Rogue One. I got that she's a besieged good person in a world of evil who is forced to make sacrifices for her cause, but it's too bad it was in Andor.
One of the best decisions was to bring Genevieve back. Andor has given the character of Mon so much depth. To see her struggle in the political and domestic spheres, make sacrifices, and risk it all is just fantastic growth.
She's one of my favorite parts of Andor. She brings a lot of acting class.
@@bbtank3000 no doubt, that party scene was one of the best of the season. Pure acting chops on display by Genevieve.
Love mom so much❤

one of, one of.

Never would have guessed Mon Mothma could be so compelling, but here we are- one of the greatest SW characters now.
She’s literally in my top 5 now when I never would’ve considered her before andor.
Great actress. Nailed it in andor
She is such a fantastic actress and I can't wait to see her knock it out of the park again in season 2
Amazing ❤
She's awesome. She deserves a Emmy Nomination for Andor. Hope she gets a lot of time to shine in Season 2 And Ahsoka.
Definitely ❤she is extraordinary
@@preciousotoakhia9789 Yep. Diego, Stellan And Andy deserve Noms for Andor as well.
Agreed. Hopefully Disney will campaign hard for nominations - for her and the rest of the cast.
@@petekwando Agree. I Think it's a frontrunner for a Best Drama Show nomination.
So much grace, talent and beauty in one person. Genevieve and Mr. Skarsgard gave a master class in acting during season 1.
And elegance.🤗
Her scenes on Coruscant were amazing
So looking forward to seeing more of her in season two!!! Great show, great actress.
I mean, she's entering with the full Star Wars fanfare. A well deserved honour.
Legend forever ❤
Yes! But would've preferred the Throne Room music seeing that she's kind of the mother of the Rebellion
The ELEGANCE of this woman! 😍🥰😍🥰
She's so gorgeous, and one of the best female characters of the whole saga.
As she says, her journey as Mon Mothma is so interesting, from deleted scenes in episode 3 to being asked to do her voice in animation to a live action role in Rogue One to being 1/2 of all of Andor!
Her acting in Andor blew me away
Season Two is gonna slap so hard it won’t even be funny

She was BRILLIANT as Mon Mothma! Such subtlety and depth. She should've been nominated for a freaking Emmy
Perfect for the role.
She is amazing ❤

I love her and Mon. 😭 So happy she's on Ahsoka!!!

I'm so thrilled for her, and we're lucky to have her.
She is extraordinary and legend❤
I also think caroline the original gave us depth and gravitas, it was a great idea to build upon her performance it just goes to show that old saying there is no such thing as a small part….
Lets see how she will be handled in ahsoka show. Im surprised to see her there. Shes becoming one of the GOAT of star wars universe.
Definitely she is legend and basically leader of the rebellion along with princess Leia
That stone/knife line was brilliant. It just makes me think of how Luthen said that the empire is choking us so slowly they aren't noticing.
Fantastic actress and human being
She is amazing ❤
So Regal so beautiful can’t wait for Andor season 2 💯🔥🔥
Can't wait to see mon in ashoka show
I love that she gives so much kudos to the writers and designers. Mon surprised me in Andor. I love that she has those struggles and worries. Love that she has to thread the needle so finely.

OMG I AM SO EXCITED FOR SEASON 2!
Can't wait to see her in ashoka show
I love her accent! She talks so eloquently.
5:00
Also, the guy jumping in the background
I just noticed that guy when I came across your comment lmao
Great interview and interviewer. Very excited for s2!
She is amazing ❤
she took that character and made it her own, stunning acting, brilliant performances, so happy she finally got the deep dive into Mon, she deserves all the praise
The Leia novel and Andor combined reeled me into loving this character and her relationships and sacrifices. I can’t wait for Season 2!
Can't wait ❤to see more of her
Moira irl sounds so lovely
Some dialogue scenes in Andor were more intense than action scenes from the Mandalorian.
She’s my MonMa
Mom Mothma
My MothMy.
Andor is the best piece of Star Wars content since Rogue One. The other shows have loads of nostalgia (Kenobi) and memes (Mandalorian, Boba), but Andor is a full blown drama in space, so well done.
She's the best thing in Andor.
Perfect leader❤
To think filming those deleted scenes from back in 2005 payed off in the end.
Her voice is so soothing.
The best actress in SW history.. Periode
She's so beautiful and smart ❤
One of the best characters. Every scene with her I'm captivated.
Andor is great because it showcases our obsessions & concessions be it good or bad. End of the day it's about being human. Sometimes we get washed along with the tsunami & smashed into cliffs & there are some of us who will defy all circumstances to survive. Real life very often throws us into a situation of choosing between the devil & the deep blue sea; challenges to our ideals & principles. Love the show!
Genevieve has made Mon Mothma incredibly sexy.
Gorgeous can't wait to see her with ashoka
Senator, Rebel, complete smoke-show! *SWOON*
Can't wait to see her in season 2 and Ashoka,hope she found happiness after return of the Jedi since she won
I just thought of something: it's kind of rare to see her do these sort of things. Still hoping to see her make an appearance at BlizzCon since Moira from Overwatch is her only video game voice role so far.

wow she's incredibly beautiful 😍
My Moira
Composure, eloquence, beauty. Mesmerizing.
Fantastic actor and great character
And all because of Caroline Blakiston’s amazing moment as the original Mon. It’s a great tribute. Such a compelling actress. Lovely of Genevieve to give her props. She seems such a lovely person and so brilliant in Andor. Great casting ❤
she was so good as mon in andor
She’s the reason I tune into Andor. Amazing actor.
"Star Wras fans only hate Rey because the do not want strong female characters..." mimimi
She is so awesome. Loved every scene with her!
Such an amazing actor.
Mommy Mothma
AWESOME "ANDOR" INTERVIEW, STAR WARS! ;) :) 😮❤🎉😂😅😊
It would be difficult for me to love this woman any more than I do. Goddess level.
Star wars legend and gorgeous 💯
Never thought Mon Mothma would be my favourite SW character
She’s my Moira.
Anyone else just mezmerized by those cool earings shes wearing?
It's really throwing me hearing Moira with no snark
Superb character throughout Star Wars:))
Moira!
How gorgeous she is!
She’s Irish!? She hides the accent so well but I should’ve known given her surname.
She speaks with a more English sounding accent in the show, but the name really shouldn’t have made it a surprise.
I was gonna type exactly the same, I had no idea she was Irish but it should’ve been easy to guess I suppose.
She’s Australian - Irish, I believe.
@@robertphillips328 Was she there in Oz long? Icant hear it in her accent at all. She sounds very, very, Irish.
She sounds and is irish
being here for the beautiful voice of Moira
She is definitely now a "pOwErFul LiDa" but the Powerful Leader!!
It appears Moira has gained quite an interest in Politics. How, Irksome..
MOIRAAAAAA
She delivered one of the BEST performances in the show!
Queen.
She was made to play Mon Mothma.
She probably never guessed to have such a great supporting role in andor as mon mothma. She probably thought it was just a small one time role since rogue one
I think she's pretty
Tay will see you out.
Mon Mothma's back
My power eminates
Moira
Surrender to my will
Géill do mo thoil!

Mom Mothma 👀
Who's this?
those chairs don't look very comfy

This isn't any type of Star Wars event until I see George Lucas in one of these commercials.
First
. Star Woke
Ya goofy m8te from Australia
Sorry Gen, but Cousin Vel is much cooler.
The Empire Did Nothing Wrong.
Why he speaks like that?!
too much soy
Like what?
It's called an accent, look it up.
He's American
