Diego Luna on Andor and Rogue One

Here’s the latest from: StarWars.Com

The star and executive producer of the critically-acclaimed Disney+ series has been changed for good thanks to Cassian Andor.

By Kelly Knox

Star Wars changed everything for Diego Luna.

“It’s probably one of the biggest surprises in my life, what saying yes to Rogue One brought to me,” Luna tells StarWars.com. “I had no expectations. And every time I talk about the character or the project, I still feel I’m talking about something that is very personal.”

Now reflecting on the journey that encapsulates roughly a decade of his life, the star of Andor, with all episodes now streaming on Disney+, looks back on the end of the acclaimed series, the most important missions for Cassian Andor, and how Andor led viewers and the Rebellion back to the film that started it all….

Andor Season 2 with Tony Gilroy & Diego Luna

Here’s the latest from: StarWars.Com

Watch the special live stream event for a chance to see your questions answered on YouTube May 13 ahead of the Season 2 finale on Disney+ that evening.

By StarWars.com Team

It’s almost time to send Cassian Andor off as he takes his final steps to Scarif in the Andor Season 2 finale next week.

To mark the occasion, the end of a five year journey for the cast and crew behind the critically-acclaimed and beloved Star Wars series, Star Wars YouTube will host a special LIVE Q&A — Andor Season 2 with Tony Gilroy & Diego Luna — covering the momentous events of Season 2.

Join creator Tony Gilroy and series star Diego Luna (Cassian Andor himself), Tuesday, May 13 at 12 pm ET / 9 am PT as they’re joined by special guests Denise Gough (Dedra Meero), Kyle Soller (Syril Karn), Elizabeth Dulau (Kleya Marki), Genevieve O’Reilly (Mon Mothma) and Adria Arjona (Bix Caleen) to talk about the journey so far.

“I think the banality of evil runs through the entire show,” Gilroy tells StarWars.com. “Season 1 is about the education and radicalization of Cassian, about the making of a revolutionary. Season 2 is…you could call it the ‘Winds of War.’ It’s a whole bunch of characters that hopefully you really care about and suddenly there’s that inevitable moment where things have just gone too far and the inertia of the Rebellion and Empire conflict is too strong. It’s coming. There’s no way to stop it. And I think it’s about a lot of people, ordinary people, being pressured by this unstoppable force of war that’s coming.”…

Diego Luna Reflects on Cassian’s Journey

Here’s the latest from: StarWars.Com

The actor talks about the importance of family, how Andor copes with loss, and why the Empire makes the galaxy’s most uncomfortable outfits.

By Kelly Knox

Diego Luna is a fan of your Andor headcanon.

Season 2 of Andor jumps through time, kicking off with a story that begins one year after the explosive events on Ferrix. While we might not know everything that happened during those months, Andor creator and executive producer Tony Gilroy leaves it to the audience to fill in the blanks. And Cassian Andor himself agrees the story belongs as much to the fans as the storytellers.

“There’s a lot of mystery involved that makes it more interesting for viewers, because you can almost start creating your own backstory,” Luna says. “Now you know these characters, and you can imagine what happened there. These time jumps are a beautiful way to approach storytelling, where this story belongs to you as much as it belongs to us.”

Now that the first arc of Andor’s second season is on Disney+, Luna talks to StarWars.com about where Cassian Andor’s journey has taken him so far, the losses he’s endured, and why he still has a long way to go…
