“As mother and father, it is our accountability to show our kids to be form and to make their very own ripples of kindness on this galaxy.”

~Liz Perales

Like Albin (Johnson) and comparable fan teams, the charitable side appears to be an important a part of what you do. Why is it so vital to provide what you obtain and the way that pertains to Star Wars?

LIZ – Rising up, my household and I didn’t have very a lot. However yearly, on or in regards to the sixth of January, there was a gaggle of individuals that may go to my small city in Mexico and produce presents to kids. I keep in mind how I and different kids felt, so anxious and so comfortable, simply ready for this group of individuals yearly. It was like Christmas for us, however solely higher as a result of we received presents!

To today, I’ve by no means forgotten these form and beneficiant folks. The straightforward act of coming every year and making kids they didn’t know comfortable, made them comfortable. I did not notice this as a younger youngster as a result of usually the older children let the youthful children go first in line. So, once I received older, I’d watch them hand out presents whereas I waited for my little brother, and it was then I noticed that these folks had been really comfortable by making others comfortable! I by no means forgot this lesson and I by no means forgot these fantastic folks, and I informed myself, if I ever received the possibility to make children comfortable, I’d do it.

Now as an grownup, with my monetary scenario not as dire because it was, I’ve the chance now to pay it ahead. Whether or not it’s dressing up as a Star Wars character or handing out toys, it’s my flip. It’s vital to provide again as a result of a small act of kindness is sort of a ripple within the universe, you by no means understand how far it would attain. As mother and father, I really feel it is our accountability to show our kids to be form and to make their very own ripples of kindness on this galaxy.

Sal, you’re identified to your Kanan Jarrus cosplay, how a lot thought did you give to reducing your hair after Season four of Rebels got here out?

SAL: Axel and I each had points with our characters haircuts, for each Kanan and Ezra. Not too long ago Axel lower his hair, I am not doing that anytime quickly!

You cosplay as each Kanan Jarrus and Quinlon Vos. In the event that they needed to face one another, who would win, Quinlan or Kanan?

SAL: They’ve quite a bit in widespread, however Vos clearly has extra coaching. Not solely within the Jedi methods, however he’s additionally skilled in Sith and even the Nightsister methods. However Kanan had the distinctive alternative to be taught from the Bendu so. Can they be greatest mates as an alternative?

You bought emotional throughout filming, inform me in regards to the energy of Star Wars and the way it summons a constructive change in folks.

SAL: I believe those that take note of the teachings Star Wars is supposed to show, inherently they alter for the higher. Star Wars is all about standing up for one another towards the forces of tyranny, cruelty and greed. It is about symbiotic cultures and the way anybody generally is a hero. If Star Wars would not encourage a constructive change in you, you simply aren’t paying consideration.

Prefer it or not, you and your loved ones have reached a considerably movie star standing throughout the Star Wars neighborhood. What has that been like?

SAL: Nothing has actually modified in any respect. It is good we get to pop as much as Lucasfilm for Rebels episodes once in a while, however we nonetheless do the identical charity occasions and see the identical folks in every single place. My daughter has a podcast with an east coast Sabine they usually had a panel at Celebration Orlando that was very profitable, and that made me very proud. I suppose possibly “movie star” is perhaps the improper phrase, however we’re deeply concerned within the Star Wars neighborhood. I am comfortable and proud to be there with my household and share our love for Star Wars with everybody.

Bonus Query…what’s your favourite movie and character?

Sal: Rogue One and Kanan Jarrus.
Lizzy: Rogue One and Sabine Wren
Axel: Solo: A Star Wars Story and Lando Calrissian
Liz: Rogue One and R2-D2
