Throughout the tactic of filming “Rogue One,” Luna was determined to not get linked to “Star Wars” — and even his character Cassian:
“I keep in mind dwelling each day as if it was the ultimate. I indicate, I not at all thought-about being part of this universe the least bit. I was solely a fan, and sooner or later I purchased a reputation. I assumed it was going to be a one-time consider my life, and I shared it with my youngsters, and I seen it.”
Of course, that will not really be adequate for the actor: Luna would later admit to feeling “haunted” by the problems Cassian acknowledged in “Rogue One,” and the darkish earlier that the character alluded to. Fortunately, he wasn’t the one one curious about Cassian’s backstory, and that curiosity merited a spin-off in “Andor.”
When Luna purchased the present to reprise his place for the Disney+ assortment, it made “full sense.” The indisputable fact that “Andor” would cowl 5 years of the characters life all through two 12-episode seasons solely added to the enchantment. “I had loads additional to say and do with this place,” Luna continued. “I merely wished to find many points that I assumed about whereas I was capturing {that a} film would not at all show you how to uncover.”
