Star Diego Luna Reveals Final ‘Star Wars: Andor’ Trailer at D23

Diego Luna, who also starred in the Rogue One prequel, described the show as “about an awakening of a revolutionary.”

According to The Hollywood Reporter:

Lucasfilm boss Kathleen Kennedy promised new reveals from the Star Warsgalaxy during her D23 panel, and kicked things off with the final trailer for Andor. This series is gearing up for production on season two ahead of season one premiering Sept. 21.

Andor stars Diego Luna as Cassian Andor, one of the key figures who helped steal the plans for the Death Star in the events of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Kennedy noted the series will be 24 episodes in all, describing it as a spy-thriller and praised showrunner Tony Gilroy, known for the Bourne franchise, for bringing his trademark “Bourne tension” to the proceedings.

The cast joined Kennedy on stage to cheers, with Luna, O’Reilly, Arjona and Soller waving to fans. “It’s about an awakening of a revolutionary,” said Luna, who also spoke in Spanish to share a message to the Spanish-speaking Star Wars fans of the world. Soller teased having a villainous role, noting he plays a character you will “love to hate.”

Luna said being an executive producer on the show gave him more agency than an actor is usually afforded. Noted Luna: “As an actor, many times you’re just thrown into something that is already happening, but in this one, I had the chance to be there from beginning to end.”

Gilroy, who oversaw reshoots of Rogue One, is behind Andor, which takes place five years before the events of the $1 billion grossing 2016 film. Season two of Andor will cover the four remaining years leading up to Rogue One.

Andor begins streaming on Disney+ September 21.
