An enthusiastic artist in both performance and direction, Bryce Dallas Howard continues to make her mark on the iconic saga. Her passion for the franchise goes beyond acting as she often contributes creatively behind the scenes in new and inventive ways.

Having directed several installments of a popular series set in that universe, her involvement extends well into various facets of the Star Wars narrative. Her commitment to the expanding lore is evident in how she takes on behind‑the‑camera roles while maintaining a strong presence in front of it.

In a casual conversation with a key figure behind other beloved animated installments, she shared how she frequently engages him on numerous ideas. One recurring suggestion she makes is to reintroduce the legendary Jedi warrior to the current storyline. Her discussions with the well‑known series creator are always lively, even though the ideas sometimes remain as playful proposals rather than concrete plans.

Her desire to collaborate with the actor renowned for portraying the iconic Jedi is clear. She expressed that working together, under any circumstance, would fulfill a long‑held wish, and she cherishes every opportunity to contribute meaningfully to the saga. Although her banter with the creative lead is light‑hearted, it underscores her deep commitment to the intricate world of Star Wars.

The character originally portrayed with intensity and gravitas captured audiences from his debut in the late 1990s and quickly became a fan favorite. Since his on‑screen departure in an earlier trilogy, his presence has been confined to select animated projects, with occasional fan theories suggesting alternative roles for the character in later series – ideas that ultimately never evolved.
