Levy's comments came during an episode of the podcast Happy Sad Confused, where host Josh Horowitz asked him about the film. "The experience of crafting this story has forced me to think about [what Star Wars is]," said Levy. "Because there's only so many times that Star Wars movies can revisit the same section of the timeline, and so it's really forced me - because I don't want to do a Star Wars movie that is redundant to others, nor am I interested in doing one that has to serve another movie." In regards to the overall feel of his film, Levy added:

"I really wanted to craft something that felt organic to me, both in tone and characters, so I think that there is - there is certainly the Force and a connection to something bigger than our individual selves. And the way that that can make us powerful, those themes, combined with visual delight and wish fulfillment, that's Star Wars to me."
