Diego Luna became a global star with his role as Cassian Andor in the 2016 film Rogue One and its prequel series, Andor. The science fiction series, created by Tony Gilroy for Disney+, recently completed its second and final season.
Luna, in a StarWars.com piece published on June 23, 2025, shared his thoughts on the project, his co-stars from Andor, and the impact of the character in his life.
"It's probably one of the biggest surprises in my life, what saying yes to Rogue One brought to me. I had no expectations. And every time I talk about the character or the project, I still feel I'm talking about something that is very personal," he said.

Diego Luna talks about his two Star Wars projects
It has been almost a decade since Diego Luna geared up for the character of Cassian Andor in the Star Wars Universe film, Rogue One, alongside Felicity Jones, Ben Mendelsohn, Donnie Yen, Mads Mikkelsen, and Forest Whitaker. Talking about the project with StarWars.com, Diego Luna shared his admiration for the same, saying:
"If you like Rogue One, you're going to realize there's so much you didn't know. And so many things are going to be seen from a different perspective after watching Andor… It’s about understanding the complexity, the amount of love, loss, commitment, and passion behind change."
Diego Luna also praised his co-star Genevieve O’Reilly, who plays Mon Mothma.
"Genevieve is so subtle, so smart about every decision she makes. She doesn't waste an opportunity as an actor. She's always bringing something new, something different, something special. She never stops… but she also gives herself the chance to enjoy the process," he said.

"It is an era filled with danger, deception, and intrigue where Cassian embarks on the path that is destined to turn him into a rebel hero," the synopsis further reads.
