Paul Sun-Hyung Lee Can't Believe He's in Star Wars and Why There Isn't a Carson Teva Action Figure

[@KateeSackhoffOfficial]

You guys! I'll be on here at 6am PST to watch live with you and respond to your comments in real time. I had a ton of fun doing it last week with the Titus episode :) so come join us!

[@rodentnolastname6612]

@@KateeSackhoffOfficial it was fun having you in chat. Hope to see you there more often ♥️🤟😎♥️

[@icemanyeo4191]

Thank You for the Video and Sharing of Your Joy and POSITIVE Energy Miss Katee Sackhoff THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@Falco4077]

I hope you can have him back on at a later date to talk about his role as Uncle Iroh in the live action Avatar The Last Airbender!

[@zachschmitt3654]

Hey Katee! Love the Pod, listen every week. If you ever get Paul again, ask him about playing the live action version of one of the most iconic animated characters, on the Netflix version of Avatar the last airbender. For me personally he was one of the highlights of the show.

[@PiDsPagePrototypes]

Damn,... So glad you ignored the Manager and kept doing Bo Katan ! Also, 'donuts' is a brand, 'doughnuts' is what they are. And the Earth is jam filled!

[@Bad_Wolf_Media]

I am very privileged to call Paul a friend, first virtually through his KZbin channel and then offline and in person. He does not have a performative side, he is genuinely just a friendly, kind human being who is (as the thumbnail says) living his dream and having the time of his life. Thankfully, he's also "one of us," a geeky fan who loves to share his experiences (once the NDAs allow!). This is a great interview, a great conversation, and I would love to be a fly on the wall in the middle of this chat!

[@nickr104]

I mean how could anyone not love Paul? He is such a great human!

[@jakemeyer8188]

I love this guy, and seeing him in Star Wars ALWAYS makes me smile. He feels like the representative for the every-man Star Wars fan that made it into the universe. I knew him from Kim's Convenience before Star Wars, so seeing him as Carson Teva made it even better.

[@edkwon]

I also love how Paul's appearance and physicality break norms for 'hero' pilots in Star Wars and he is not directed to play his role as incompetent or a clown, but as a reliable, serious and seasoned Rebel, turned New Republic pilot and law enforcement officer

[@roygoodwinii8263]

Me too! My wife and I have been big fans of his from Kim's Convenience, and when he showed up in Mando, we almost lost our minds with happiness.

[@TMiller24]

My God this entire interview was a shot of joy into my day. I didn't realize I could like Paul any more than I already did, yet here I am smiling for over an hour. Thanks for this one Katee!

[@Civatate0]

I agree with everything Paul said about you, Katee! You were so kind to meet in person in San Antonio, TX! It has been several weeks since we met you and we are still on that high! I hope to meet Paul one day!

[@DaleESkywalker]

Paul is such a wonderful person! I'm so glad he found his way to *Star Wars.*

[@KateeSackhoffOfficial]

Me too 🎉

[@DaleESkywalker]

Love you both! And everyone in and about *Star Wars.* I wish George would've worked more on it than he did. When will you ask him to be on the show? 😉

[@kerryfantie3962]

My inner child was on life support and my love of Star Wars was fading. But discovering Paul's KZbin channel, and then having the privilege of meeting him in person brought both back to glorious life. Happiness is one of the greatest gifts you can give. I'll always be thankful that Paul chose to share his.

[@HyperdriveStarWars]

Paul is such an awesome person! He's so down to earth and such a fan of Star Wars. So are you Katee! Thanks for everything you do!

[@maeve4686]

Paul is my absolute favorite character in SWU ! His entire presence adds calm, sincerity & humor to this. Thanks so much, Paul ! Plus, you're so damn HANDSOME !!!!!

[@HolidaysLane]

I could listen to Paul for days on end.. This is my first time hearing an interview with him. Long time fan of Kim's Convenience which was brilliant and sweet and heartfelt and lovely in addition to being funny.

[@evildrgo]

i am so happy that you gave Paul an opportunity to speak about his upbringing in Canada.

[@joethahobo]

someone in Star Wars twitter needs to post this conversation around 28:00. Paul lays the truth here. Being positive and creative is far more fun than being hateful and divisive. Amen brother

[@ofthenearfuture]

This was an incredible interview, thank you for giving Paul the platform to tell his story. He's such a genuine kind person. And as a fellow Canadian I loved watching him on Kim's Convenience, and it's been awesome to see him get recognition for his talent and personality with bigger opportunities like Star Wars, especially as such a geek and having a role written for him, stuff of dreams.

[@iamalden]

Your smile when Appa made his appearance (5:23) was all of us!

[@Wizastudios]

Loved this one Katee. Paul is so genuine on his love for the franchise of Star Wars. To see his success from what his family expected is completely relatable as a BIPOC aiming to grow in his own career. The shared love of a fandom such as Star Wars and getting to be within the shows the way he did is totally heartwarming.

[@mandyburton9798]

Best podcast of the week, massive highlight for me. I’m usually listening as I cycle to work, what a treat seeing you both.

[@withershin]

54:35 - I totally read Paul's Carson Teva character like a US Marshall more than a cop. The side-eye to Carl Weathers in The Siege is so good. The scene with Gina and "the badge" is right out of a proper Western. Thank you both for this wonderful interview.

[@notseb]

I'm not a huge collector, but would totally "collect" a Carson Teva figure! I do collect the books and would totally love a Carson biography!!!

[@MichelleCWriter]

There's nothing cooler to me than listening to people who truly love what they do, especially artists and creators who bring my favorite shows, books, movies, etc. to life. I didn't know a lot about Paul and I loved getting to know him. It's so fun to hear that he's as big of a nerd as many of us are. Truly a treat to listen to him talk to Katee, who is also such a blast to listen to because she obviously loves what she does, too. And OMG I laughed SOOOOO hard at the "naked eating KFC" thing. Thank you for that image, Paul, that you very much. LOL!

[@fewselage]

Awesome episode!!! Paul IS delightful to listen to. It's super special when a fan becomes part of the story.

[@ecossearthur]

Loved him in Kim's Convenience wish they had more episodes

[@Madbandit77]

Paul's brilliant in Kim's Convenience.

[@ToysAreTheWay]

This was such a delight to watch, both of you are amazing. PS I want a Vintage Collection Carson Teva and his X-Wing so bad!! Hasbro bless this wonderful person with an action figure and ship already!! ✨🙌😎🙌✨

[@newguycanada]

As someone who has been a fan of Paul for a very long time (shout out Train 48!!) it has been an absolute dream for me to see the rest of the world find out how fantastic Paul is. I always love when I see him in the wild OR even when we can chat virtually. I see many of my fellow fans in the comments that I have been hanging out with online for years now saying the same.

[@bdeakes]

Such a great human being! You gotta ask him about his SW collection

[@KateeSackhoffOfficial]

Keep watching ❤

[@andrewkim6037]

My family loved watching Kim's Convenience, and we absolutely freaked out when we saw Paul on The Mandalorian series. Way to go Paul! Awesome beard too, I'm so jealous. Heheheheh

[@kelleycarr9065]

Amazing!!!!! Such a great podcast episode Katee! Thank you. Super Star Wars fan, but watched Kim’s Convenience before Mandalorian. So double dip!!!! 😊

[@Metaymaug706]

The epic stache and beard!!! One of the best episodes. Totally relate to not being supported in being a actor.

[@sopi2]

What a genuine, kind-hearted person. Wish him all the best!

[@DarenLewis]

Great episode Katie and Paul. Just what I needed this evening to navigate my current situation.

[@DerpaDerpaDooo]

Absolutely one of my favorite actors and really hope he has a bigger role in the Star Wars Universe **cough cough... Rangers of the New Republic cough cough**. Come on Favreau and Filoni, we need this!!

[@philrm99]

Fantastic conversation

[@Subviolaceus]

Two of my favorite performers and KZbinrs chatting for over an hour, such a great way to end my day.

[@bittertroll7476]

Paul is just a warm loving kind man with a love of star wars almost as large as his heart. the world is a better place with him in it.

[@daliasaravia1443]

Two of my absolute star wars faves❤❤❤ Paul is just fantastic, thank you Katee for this great interview.

[@Dreymasmith]

If there were a Carson Teva action figure I would totally buy it. My 11 year old nephew is a huge Star Wars fan and is half-Korean and I would love for him to have a Carson to sit on his chest of drawers with his other Star Wars collectibles. HASBRO needs to get their act together.

[@npoznak]

Agree, I've been a huge fan of you too, Katee ever since Battlestar Galactica which I still love streaming.

[@willmendoza8498]

Love this dude. First learned about him through his cosplay, followed by Kim’s Convenience and have been a fan since

[@_erikmichaela1427]

What a great episode! It was funny, informative, and inspiring. I’ve been a fan of Paul Sun-Hyung Lee ever since his first appearance as Carson Teva. I also loved hearing about his passion for Collecting; I can relate a lot to what he said.

[@DavidBraunBraveDaun]

The reason that so many people (like me) only watch a little bit of the video is because we are listening to the rest of it in Podcast form. But we enjoy getting a feeling of the person being interviewed by watching a little bit of it - then we can keep that picture in our head as we listen to the rest. In this case, seeing the environment, like the wall behind Paul, is awesome - and worth popping over to KZbin for a bit, even if we can't watch the whole thing. 🙂

[@vegaskatus]

Such a wonderful episdoe, he always seems so down to earth whenever he's interviewed.

[@getdef]

I never knew who he is aside from seeing him in Mando/Ahsoka. So, hearing from him directly was truly insightful. Thanks Katee! And thanks Paul!

[@Mymumsey1]

How can you not like this geeky dude? I enjoy it when fans actually get to be a part of the franchises they love. This man deserves an action figure now!

[@kelleycarr9065]

OHMYGOD!!!!!!!!! I never post twice. But this episode is my Star Wars heaven!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@kateburt5860]

Thank you for this awesome episode! I love Paul and Carson Teva.

[@Paleo411]

Hasbro is waiting for the Mando movie for his action figure. Biggest splash. I’m sure you’ll both be amazing on the big screen. Thank you Katee for doing this show. You’ll always be my Starbuck. ❤

[@rodentnolastname6612]

Seeing Paul the first time in Mando made me want to see more of him. Wish granted!! 🤟😎

[@LeChaunce]

It did inspire me to give Kim's Convenience a try, and I ended up loving it and he was no small part of that.

[@top6ear]

I met him outside the chateau Laurier in Ottawa a few years back he was having a cigarette, super nice guy.

[@mandyburton9798]

My admiration for actors is taken to the next level, I’d be way too self conscious. Big respect 🫡

[@janajeffsilvernickelladventure]

Thank you so much for all you are doing and sharing with us!!❤

[@dirkdiggler9574]

Stumbled onto your channel-🤘 Paul i was late to KC and only got onto it after it ended. I binge watched it all! Loved it! Then as a Star wars nerd i see you shortly there after in the best Star Wars since the original movies! Katee you already know you are an amazing actress and have done some of the best shows! Look forward to both of you in your acting futures.

[@dinksterling]

Thank you! Amazing episode.

[@zanemordien]

Just found your podcast and love it. I really love that you went from the Clone Wars into the live action and your old agent wanted you to quit Clone Wars. That's an awesome story. I didn't know Paul's story either so I loved hearing it.

[@rcktgrg]

Katie you’re so wonderful - and this interview with Paul is just perfection! 💋

[@ZaryaMain]

Love this episode. Paul is such a fun actor, give him all the work plz.

[@karstedt9987]

I'm liking Paul's performance in the SW shows. He's definitely bringing a sense of depth to the character even though he only shows up for a couple minutes here and there.

[@jay-pp3yy]

This was a great interview! I personally would like to see a show with your father, and talk about his experience of being on the set, and watching his daughter being immortalized in the Star Wars Universe.

[@bigredxennial]

He was perfect in his roll on Avatar

[@brick_n_heim9552]

Enjoyed this episode. In my opinion this man should have his own StarWars show.

[@scubaguymi]

He is so awesome. We met him at Motor City Con last year,and he is so genuine. I could totally hang out with him. What a fantastic actor.

[@NatoBro]

Such a great interview. I was hanging on every work! lol I remember when he first appeared on Mando. I was yelling "That's the guy from Kim's!!!!". I'm sure my wife thought I was losing my mind, again. Thanks!!

[@maeve4686]

Katee...just found your show & to my surprise my 1st & equally favorite actor in the SWU, along side Paul !

[@randall6060]

Glad to discover this show, thanks!

[@calvinpanho]

Video is BACK??????????????? I'm over the moon! Restarting to watch!

[@Gazrial1]

Damn this story of how Paul got Mandalorian made this old man tear up a little. I love stories where it all comes around like this.

[@mathewhudson7649]

That was brilliant. Loved the vid 😎and Paul is just excellent.

[@envirogeekyyc]

What a hoot! I'm smiling from ear to ear watching this...

[@RetroActionUK]

Loved the interview, Paul is fantastic and it was great to hear more of his story. The Bitterasiandude Micro Galaxy Squadron streams are a lot of fun. I feel what he said about the Film Industry applies to the Toy Industry as well, that being it’s all just remakes and companies don’t want to take risks anymore in case a new property fails.

[@thaley2387]

Lovely interview! 😊 Also... I'm commenting from central Illinois! And do watch the Hindsight from start to finish ❤

[@dwensel]

Fantastic interview. Your guys are great together

[@auntvesuvi3872]

Thanks to Katee, Paul, Jeph and everyone involved! 🤩

[@tomgonz1099]

❤❤❤ thank you. That was a beautiful one

[@colleenjohnston6211]

I've been collecting for years. I am now getting to enjoy all of them with my grandson!!

[@samael9333]

Love the show. Huge fan on both of your work!

[@dav1dw]

This is first time I saw Katee do an interview. Loved it. Really enjoyed Paul's stories.

[@Pareltje333]

Just now watching. From the beginning. So I very curious for this episode❤💖😊

[@ericclaire-helenerfletcher9433]

really enjoyed your conversation with Paul Sun -Hyung Lee as a fellow Canadian

[@claytonberg721]

I first became aware of Paul when Kim's Convenience was a touring play in Canada. I met him at Calgary Expo probably around season 1 of kim's Convenience, he wasn't a guest, he was just an attendee of the 'con. He was with the Alberta Ghost Busters, a bunch of guys who cosplay as ghost busters, have an ecto 1 and do charity work. He's such a nice dude.

[@md11x6]

I'm a huge Katee and Paul fan. What a great episode! ❤

[@RR1976]

Paul's Carson's character in Mando is just a great example of what a good person can be. I draw inspiration from that character for sure. Such a role model of a character completely deserves an action figure!!! Additionally... I'm just so blown away by how joyful I feel hearing these conversations. Always hearing so much horrible stuff in the news and seeing people troll each other, hearing these conversations filled with overcoming challenges and always striving to become better people, gives me a lot of positive juice to keep going in that same direction.

[@maeve4686]

F Me too! Love Paul & Cpt. Teva...found custom made figures, so it seems a lot of us want to add him to our collections. He's an important character in all shows he's been on, not to mention his own success in other ventures....& the person he is !

[@anthonyszeto4481]

This is awesome.

[@firejayhawk]

I already had so much respect for Paul from seeing him in Kim's Convenience and then as Uncle Iroh in the live action Avatar: The Last Airbender. My respect for him increased tenfold when i saw all his Star Wars stuff in the background. and then increased tenfold again when he said he was part of the 501st. I love that he is a Star Wars super-nerd! I'm so glad he was able to be part of the Star Wars universe! EDIT: The gasp i gasped when he said his parents gave away his collection of star wars stuff. super sad but glad he is rebuilding his collection.

[@firemedic811]

You both are great. I may have already commented, but wanted to say it again. Thank you.

[@JosephGillen]

I don't think anyone will top the Ashley episode, but this one is right up there. Paul, Ashley and Ming Na are my favorites in this esteemed Sack of Heroes you've collected in this podcast.

[@NeilRamsay-q4z]

I love Paul… and I’m really glad he’s getting the acting jobs he deserves! I can grow a good beard but that moustache is on point, dam!!! Love from Newmarket Ontario Canada!

[@tyrellalexander-f1i]

Beautiful Tuesday here in Gatineau, Quebec as well.😊

[@the1fist245]

Paul is dope, and now because of him I’ve found a great new show to follow 👊

[@projectaroid]

Great interview. Very interesting.

[@709Zulu]

I never saw Kim's Convenience, But when I saw Paul on The Mandalorian, my first thought was "Who's this guy with the Awesome Facial Hair. And then he just kept showing up. Bravo Paul, Bravo.

[@3211SD]

My father threw out my entire staw wars collection and everything i had from childhood , including photo albums books all toys . Befor i had a chance to sort through it Its suprisingly how much it hurts . I think its a generation think , if you were a kid in 70s 80s and you loved starwars it was everything . Paul great in character and in real life . Disney needs more people like this involved starwars

[@arunbenny808]

Such an awesome interview!

[@Jaaol1]

His character is my favorite side character in modern star wars, and it's huuuugely down to his performance! The way he says "Says here you're from Alderaan" to Cara in Mando makes me cry every time. Something really special about his performance. Also the way he closes his eyes when Cara says "I lost everyone". He's so genuine and authentically vulnerable. Makes his character unforgettable! Love this guy

[@jeffmorris508]

Such an awesome and fun interview.

[@j2174]

He's a Canadian treasure. I hope he continues to have a successful career both in Canada and abroad.

[@pikeyMcBarkin]

I really hope I can see these fabulous stories one day.

[@donnicholas7552]

I loved the interview!

[@firemedic811]

One of your best videos.

[@mattack4209]

Appa should have an action figure!!! Love Paul. Such a great fan/ actor. PS Thanks for another great show KS

[@Ian-Builder_of_Things]

Great episode. Really liking hindsight humor. Also strangely have a craving for timbits...
