Diego Luna Is Thrilled To Return To Star Wars Via Disney+
One of the most underrated of all the Star Wars films is Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. And one of the most underrated of all of Rogue One’s characters is Diego Luna’s Cassian Andor.
Check out this pivotal scene from the movie:
Many recent rumors circulated about Lucasfilm’s Disney+ series; with several delivering speculation that the expected Cassian Andor series was in trouble (sound familiar).
Well, Diego Luna — currently on a press run for his current series, Narcos: Mexico — recently told ETonline.com the Disney+ Star Wars Rogue One prequel series is very much “on” and will start filming soon.
“We are doing it this year…It’s happening, and I’m getting ready for it,” told ET. “You know the ending, but you don’t know how it happened, and we have that challenge in front of us again, which is exciting.”

And knowing the ending was already a “problem” for Rogue One, which was based on the opening crawl of 1977’s original Star Wars.
Rebel spies managed to steal secret plans to the Empire’s ultimate weapon, the DEATH STAR.
“It is a different approach because of the beauty and it’s how things happen,” he told ETonline. “It’s not just what happens.”

However, even before he spoke to ET, Diego Luna was pressed about the show by none other than Conan O’Brien, with hilarious PG-13 consequences.
