"I was shameless when I saw Kathy! I went up to give her a big hug. And I said, 'Kathy, Kathy, please put me in the Star Wars universe!' And what's so great about it, if you think about it, it's all under the Disney family, you know?"

Quan has a long history with Lucasfilm, as he played Short Round in 1984's Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. He played O.B. in Season 2 of Loki.

"I want to stay in the family. It's great," Quan said of potentially landing a Star Wars role in the future.
