Diego Luna Says All STAR WARS Fans Should Watch ROGUE ONE After Season 2 of ANDOR - "You're Going to See It Differently"

Star Wars fans have always known that the series Andor was a prequel to the film Rogue One, with showrunner Tony Gilroy even confirming the series' final shot sets up the film. But the show’s star, Diego Luna, is letting fans know that they are still in for a few surprises. Luna said in the new issue of SFX magazine: "If you have your DVD or Blu-ray of Rogue One, you should plug it in as soon as the season ends, and you'll see a film that will be resignified. “You're going to see it differently, with so much information you didn't have before. You knew nothing about this bunch of Rebels that got together and made this sacrifice, and then we did a show of 24 episodes about one of them. “I definitely believe it's going to change the experience because it's now so full of answers – almost many more than you even wanted when you watched Rogue One, like who Cassian's mother was, what was the first droid he had a strong connection with [that'll be B2EMO], how his bedroom was… You've seen enough of this man now that you will go, like, 'Holy shit, that’s what he meant?'"That’s a pretty cool endorsement. I think fans kind of assumed what they would get with this series, and it has delivered way more than anyone could have expected.“Season One followed Cassian’s reluctant journey from cynical nobody to revolutionary volunteer. Andor Season Two will see him transform from soldier to leader to hero on the way to his epic destiny. From the very first scene, Cassian’s story has activated an ever-widening ensemble of allies and enemies. “Season Two will see these relationships intensify as the horizon of galactic war draws near. Everyone will be tested and, as the stakes rise, the betrayals, sacrifices, and conflicting agendas will become profound. Who will live to see their dream realized? Who will realize what the dream cost?”Along with Luna, the returning cast includes Stellan Skarsgård, Genevieve O’Reilly, Kyle Soller, Adria Arjona, Denise Gough, Faye Marsay, Varada Sethu and Forest Whitaker. Ben Mendelsohn is also back as Imperial officer Orson Krennic and Alan Tudyk as K-2SO. Andor Season 2 will premiere on Disney+ on April 22, 2025.
