The Mandalorian Star Says His Character is Becoming More Important to Star Wars

Paul Sun-Hyung Lee's involvement in the Star Wars universe as Carson Teva delighted fans of the Kim's Convenience actor and apparently, it's a dream come true for him being a lifelong fan of the franchise.

Initially thought by many to be a one-off character, the New Republic pilot has become a recurring character in the MandoVerse and not only that, but his role in The Mandalorian Season 3 pretty much told viewers that big things are in store for him.

Speaking with Tatooine Times, the actor shared the importance of Carson to the MandoVerse's story, saying: "I had no idea of the importance or what plans they had with the character of Carson Teva. I just knew what part my character played in certain scenes, and the rest was kind of a mystery. But then when the dots started to connect, it was a really cool thing. It’s a great honor to be able to play this character who is sort of the connective tissue between these universes. He’s a man of action who has been searching and digging, he sees patterns, he sees what’s happening."

He did clarify that he has no idea where the MandoVerse is heading narrative-wise but he's gratified to be part of it all. The actor continued: "He can’t convince people that it’s as serious as he knows it’s going to be. That’s the dramatic irony, we all know what happens twenty years down the road. He’s kind of like the prophet Cassandra who is just doomed to be ignored even though they can see the future. I still have no idea where this is all leading. I’m just gratified and so happy that Jon and Dave want to keep me on board and play this character who is becoming more and more important in [the Star Wars universe]."
