Star Wars: Diego Luna Reflects on Playing Cassian Andor For Almost a Decade

As a devoted Star Wars fan who has witnessed the evolution of this iconic franchise over the years, I must say that the return of Star Wars: Andor for its second and final season is nothing short of exhilarating! The series has masterfully woven a captivating tale around Cassian Andor (Diego Luna), providing fans with an immersive journey through the galaxy far, far away.


The Star Wars: Andor series, airing on Disney+, is one of the most remarkable productions during the franchise’s current era, captivating audiences with its gripping plotlines and immersive exploration of the galaxy in the Star Wars universe. The live-action show will continue its run for a second and final season, leading Cassian Andor (played by Diego Luna) to events that culminate in his initial appearance in the franchise, specifically the 2016 film Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. During an interview with IMDb at the recent D23 Expo, Luna shared his appreciation for the enduring affection fans have for his portrayal of Cassian, and how this admiration has only intensified since its debut.

Luna shared that the story we’re narrating has earned a great deal of praise. People seem genuinely excited about it, she said. Over these years, I’ve realized that what I’m involved in means something significant to people. That’s truly unique and not something you come across often. It’s extraordinary to be part of a project that resonates so deeply with the audience… We put in a tremendous amount of effort – nearly three years for one season. So, knowing how it was received holds a special place in my heart.

What Is Season 2 of Star Wars: Andor About?

The second season of Star Wars: Andor is set to unfold, delving into Cassian’s life span for several years, leading directly to the incidents depicted in Rogue One. Characters K-2SO, played by Alan Tudyk, and Director Orson Krennic, portrayed by Ben Mendelsohn, will be returning to their roles from Rogue One for this season as well.

Luna previously told Entertainment Weekly that viewers who watch Rogue One after Season 2 might perceive the film differently. The significance of certain events will be understood in a new light due to what had to transpire for K-2SO, played by Alan Tudyk, to appear. This fresh understanding is likely to alter the way we experience the storyline of Rogue One, not just for K-2SO, but also for other characters. I believe it’s going to be quite intriguing.

In the year 2025, the second season of Star Wars: Andor is anticipated to make its debut on Disney+. If you’re not already a subscriber, you can give it a test run right here.
