Star Wars: Andor: everything we know about the Diego Luna series
Cassian Andor is one of the Star Wars characters who will have his own series and there are already some details.

Cassian Andor was the protagonist of one of the best spin-offs of Star Wars before the arrival of The Mandalorian (which is in its third season ), so it was logical to think that, after Disney took the reins of the universe created by George Lucas, that would be a story that they would like to continue exploring.

All, or almost all, of the soldiers who were part of the plan died at the end of the film, but Disney knew that there was a lot of potential in the character of Cassian Andor and it was not long before they decided to call Diego Luna back to continue exploring. the character’s story.

Luna told The Hollywood Reporter that the series will introduce a new way to explore Rebel battles. “I think it’s really interesting to tell a story even though we know where it ends. The way you can approach a story like this inevitably leads you into a deeper thought process. I tend to use that word a lot. So once you know what Cassianis capable of, there is room for so much exploration, and that is something that excites me a lot as an actor. I think the format of a series is amazing because we have so much time to explore all those layers. What happens in ‘Rogue One’ is something we can really reflect on, and what’s behind something like (sacrificing an informant). I think it’s a very interesting challenge, the one we have ahead of us. So I’m really excited to get back into that character because I really enjoyed playing him and I was really happy with what the movie represents. ‘ Rogue One was a story of ordinary people. It was just normal people doing amazing things, and in a way, it’s a movie that reminds us of the power we all have if we have a conviction. So yes, I feel blessed to have the opportunity to revisit this role.”
