Emily Swallow Interview 2026

With the actual costume, I mean, did you have any idea what it would look like? Did you see a drawing before, um, you was on set or...?

Before I was on set, yes.

But, um, not until quite a ways in, and they...

I had several fittings, and they, like, made a, a cast of my torso before I ever knew what it was gonna look like.

And then in one of those fittings, I think they just didn't realize, 'cause, 'cause what happens with these projects, they're...

Everyone's under so much secrecy, you're never sure who knows what.

So they were sort of assuming I knew what we were doing together, and, um, I did not.

[laughs] And so then someone showed me a sketch, and it just, it took my breath away, 'cause I had no idea that it was so...

I mean, it's so regal, and it's so, um, kind of primal with the fur.

And I personally think that I, I have the best Mandalorian armor.

I really, I dig her style.

So even though it's not the most comfortable thing to wear, it is absolutely worth it.

Yeah.

And when you first are introduced to your character, she's doing the armor, isn't she, for The Mandalorian? I thought that was a really good scene.

Yeah.

She, she has to make a lot of armor.

It seems like it's just her around there, so she keeps busy.
