Sean says there are may more types of role he’d love to tackle, as well as exploring new performance avenues, including voiceover work. Star Wars Resistance has opened that door, allowing the actor to gain such experience whole portraying a character from a Galaxy he loves. What makes it even more special for Sean, who is of part-Japanese descent, is that he gets to voice an Asian character as the lead in a Star Wars series.
“You have a lot of people who can now say ‘That looks like me. I’m part of the Star Wars Galaxy,’” says Sean. “It’s really cool, and my job is to do it the best I possibly can and make sure that he’s a likable and loving character that people can relate to.”

neeku/kaz is cute i want them to hold hands and all kindsa sappy things
I got inspired because of this, so here’s a short fanfic:
Neeku was right, Kaz admitted, the stars were beautiful from the rooftop of the colossus, and the roof itself wasn’t so bad when he wasn’t chased by stormtroopers. Kaz looked and stole a quick glance at Neeku. He still gazed skyward, his sparkling eyes and enraptured smile causing Kaz’s heart to skip a beat.
Kaz looked back at the sky and shot for the stars:
“Neeku, can you hold something for me?”
He responded affirmatively, and Kaz slipped his hand into Neeku’s, while his adrenaline overreacted and prepared to start a race or spy on the First Order.
“Kaz,” Neeku said, looking down, “that is your hand.”
