How Diego Luna found inspiration close to home with 'Andor ... (Rolling Stone UK)

Diego Luna discusses his starring role as Cassian Andor in 'Andor', the new Disney+ prequel series to 'Star Wars: Rogue One'.

“If I can use my profile to shift attention onto the people and things that I believe are worthy of attention, then I like to do that.” “It’s quite interesting to tell a story about heroic actions that transcends the moment where the hero gets the medal and walks off into the sunset saying: ‘We made it!’ In Rogue One, they didn’t make it. The series, created by Bourne Identity and Michael Clayton screenwriter Tony Gilroy, is primarily set five years before that mission in Rogue One, although there’s plenty of flashbacks too, filling in the blanks in Cassian’s journey following the less-is-more approach to his backstory in Rogue One. “I think that what we do has a great potential to bring reflection on and attention to what matters. He also got to work establishing a non-profit organisation with García Bernal that raised $1.5m in relief funds following the 2017 Mexico City earthquake. I belong to Mexico — but in order to belong you have to activate. This, incidentally, is a subject that Luna found himself contemplating at length in the period around Rogue One’s release. In common with the rebel spy — and many other characters who frequent the Star Wars universe, a place where characters are frequently driven by parental absence or loss — Luna suffered the death of a parent at an early age. It helped him get a handle on intermittent episodes in which his father would find him sleepwalking in the middle of the night, venturing out onto his patio, sharing imaginary conversations with his mother. [Andor](https://www.rollingstone.co.uk/tag/andor) will see Luna return to play the rebel spy across 12 episodes that explore the character’s life before the events of Rogue One. In the 2016 prequel to 1977’s A New Hope, Luna starred as Cassian Andor — a ruthless, charismatic freedom fighter willing to lay down his life to help bring an end to the Empire. [Luna](https://rollingstone.co.uk/tag/diego-luna) tells Rolling Stone UK, describing his belief that it’s up to ordinary people to rise up and take a stand.

If You Like Watching Diego Luna Walk Around, You'll Love 'Andor' (ScreenCrush)

The following post contains very minor spoilers for the first three episodes of Andor. But only if you consider me telling you that the title character ...

But that idea comes through within the first ten minutes of the first episode of Andor — and then it repeats that idea for at least an hour before much of anything else happens. As we slowly (very slowly) learn over the course of the first three episodes, he is a nomad without a home or a family. It begins with a man walking alone in a place called the “Preox-Morlana Corporate Zone.” The man, we will soon see, is Cassian Andor ( [Diego Luna](https://screencrush.com/tags/diego-luna/)), the master spy previously featured in the film Rogue One.

'Andor': Diego Luna Confirms That New Disney+ Show Is The Last ... (The Playlist)

The first three episodes of Tony Gilroy's “Star Wars” series “Andor” premiere on Disney+ today, to much anticipation. In the lead-up to the show, ...

The first three episodes of “Andor” are on Disney+ now. It’s a beautiful journey now that I have 24 episodes, 24 shorter films, to tell the story of where Cassian comes from and how he got to be the man we met in “Rogue One.”” And even if that’s the case, there’s a limited shelf life for Cassian Andor as a character: it’s hardly a spoiler at this point, but he dies at the end of “Rogue One.” So, no surprise that Diego Luna confirmed that “Andor” will be his final performance as the character. In the lead-up to the show, Gilroy said “Andor” would be a creative pivot from earlier Disney+ “Star Wars” fare, and advance reviews of the series confirm that. “Therefore, I can understand it and I can enjoy the ride and kind of picture the aim we have. The first three episodes of Tony Gilroy‘s “Star Wars” series “Andor” premiere on Disney+ today, to much anticipation.

'Star Wars' actor Diego Luna says 'Andor' explores the 'nuances' of ... (ABC News)

Diego Luna talks to "Good Morning America" about Cassian's return in the "Star Wars" Disney+ series "Andor."

This, he said, is where "Andor" benefits over "Rogue One," saying the long-form storytelling of a streaming series "helps you stop and breathe like film doesn't and be ambitious in a way film can't." Going back to inhabit a previous character and approaching their story in a non-linear fashion is an exercise he said "triggers a different part of your brain." Beyond that, Luna said questions about where Cassian is from and why he sounds the way he does with an atypical accent -- for "Star Wars," at least -- will be answered as well. "You're going to meet a guy that is just surviving," Luna said. "To me, 'Rogue One' is a film about an event," he said. The film's events lead directly into 1977's "Star Wars: A New Hope."
