Andor: Diego Luna on How the Star Wars Series Is About Regular People Trying to Survive
With Andor arriving on Disney+ September 21st, I recently got to speak with Diego Luna about making the newest Star Wars series. During the interview, Luna talked about how Andor is about people just trying to survive on both sides of the fight, why making the series on Disney+ allowed them to do things that couldn’t be done in a movie, how showrunner Tony Gilroy tried to make everything as real as possible, and how the show is a very intimate journey of characters.
Andor is a two-season event that starts five years before the events of Rogue One. The first season will cover a year, while the second season will cover the next four years in 3-episode blocks. Meaning episodes one through three will be year two, episodes four through six is year three, seven though nine is year four, and the final episodes will be year five and the plan is to end episode twelve right before Rogue One starts.
In addition to Luna, Andor features the return of Genevieve O'Reilly as Mon Mothma and Forest Whitaker as Saw Gerrera. Newcomers to the series include Stellan Skårsgard, Adria Arjona, Kyle Soller, Denise Gough, and Robert Emms. The 12-episode first season will feature episodes directed by Toby Haynes, Ben Caron, and Susanna White.
