Genevieve O'Reilly has been waiting 20 years to deliver Mon Mothma's final Star Wars speech.

The politician from Chandrila fought for peace and democracy, while secretly serving as an informant for the Rebellion .

O’Reilly: "The opportunity to get to do that as an actor was everything".

There were only a few lines in the script, but the idea was she was giving a speech, but you didn’t hear the whole speech.

Tony knew she was interested in the nuance and the messiness it takes to get there.

The speech itself is actually a piece of music, almost, in the way it’s been written.

The idea of truth being lost, perhaps even more, has stayed with me.

This season he's been an almost adversarial figure to Mon Mothma , in trying to get her to see the state of things as he does.

Luthen is a brutal realist at that point, and she carries the guilt and the pain of that.

But his singular drive and his blinkered vision is what gets the Rebellion there.
