Actor/director Bryce Dallas Howard recently wrapped up directing two episodes of season 2 of Star Wars streaming series Ahsoka, and she's already hoping to continue on working in the venerable sci-fi franchise.

"I love it so, so, so much. I yearn to stay on this path of being able to be in that world, and grow, and learn and challenge myself," Howard tells People. "But also, it's not just about me. It's about the medium. For me, I've let go of wishing or yearning for something that is specific in terms of results, like film, animation, streaming. Whatever it is, if I can be of service to Lucasfilm, I will."

"They're [Star Wars creatives] very efficient in terms of resources, because they…want to stretch [the budget] as far as you can. You want every dollar to be onscreen. And sometimes, as everyone knows, the limitations obviously often give birth to the greatest ideas," Howard explains. "When it comes down to it, if you need the thing to happen, it can happen on a Star Wars set. And as a filmmaker, there's no greater privilege."
