Later in the interview, the two actors revealed their favorite film and character from the Star Wars franchise. Rey went first, while revealing her two sided approach of the Ewoks. "My favorite is Return of the Jedi because I love the Ewoks. But when I see them on toys and on T-shirts, they’re really, really creepy, so now I’m, like, changing my mind." As for her favorite character, who'd be a better choice than the wisest Jedi to ever live. "My favorite character is Yoda, because I think he’s funny and brilliant. And working with puppeteers, just the fact that an inanimate thing can be brought to life by someone moving their hand, I just think it’s amazing."
John Boyega then revealed his favorite Star Wars film, and provided a subtle reason for his choice. "I like Empire Strikes Back. That’s my favorite. Reason being because it’s just the best, hands down. Everybody knows that." He then revealed his favorite Star Wars character. "My favorite character is Han Solo, because I really like characters who represent human beings in sci-fi pics...There’s this more human, more like “chilled” approach to everything, and these characters remind the audience of themselves." He then elaborated on his words. "Those are the characters that I feel are much more loved than the others, because they run when we would run, they are brave when we would feel brave, and they’re…a reflection of humanity."
