Katee Sackhoff is finally living her childhood dream. As a child, she was an avid fan of Star Wars. Little had she imagined that she would go on to have a 15-year association with the Star Wars franchise. “I am pinching myself [to believe] that I am here. If you told the little girl Katee that this is going to be her life at some point, she wouldn’t have believed you,” grins the American actor, as she joins us on a Zoom call.

In her 25-year career that includes several movies and television series, Sackhoff has become synonymous with Bo-Katan Kryze from the world of Star Wars. Beginning with lending her voice to the character in Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008) and Star Wars: Rebels (2014), the actor went on to essay the part in live-action series The Mandalorian in 2019.
