Drash is portrayed by Sophie Thatcher and Skad is portrayed by Jordan Bolger. Jon Favreau compared Thatcher's character to a sci-fi Joan Jett. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Thatcher said that she deleted Twitter and Reddit, because she did not want to hear anything about the series. She also said that to get the role she did a self-tape with her sister and later heard she got the job. When asked whether she knew what she was going for with her character, she responded saying that they let her improvise some and also asked her to do a British accent, which she thought worked well with Jordan Boldger even though she has an American accent. She also worked with Pedro Pascal before on the Prospect. Thatcher said that for her cybernetic arm they started off doing it with makeup and prosthetics, but they did not like it so they instead put a green sleeve on her arm to later computer animate it. In the fighting scene with Krrsantan, she said, "I guess it wasn’t a lot of stunt stuff, but I’m not used to it at all. Even doing a little ducking and moving around and getting the right steps was really stressful for me. I’m not the most coordinated person, so I had to do a lot of physical acting." For the speeder chase scene, she said that she was on a rig the whole time instead of an actual speeder. She also said that most of the filming was done on the backlot with some of it in the volume, an area where motion capture filming takes place.
