Andor star Diego Luna reflected on the massive critical success of the Star Wars series and his journey playing the titular character.
Fans and critics praised the first season for its grounded approach in telling Cassian Andor's origins in the rebellion. It became one of the most acclaimed projects in the franchise's history.
The second and final season of the series is set to premiere next year. It will focus on the titular character's adventures in the years leading up to the events of Rogue One.
Diego Luna on Andor's Success and Its Importance to Fans
During an interview at last month's D23 event, Luna opened up about the success of Andor and how it became important for the Star Wars fandom.
He shared that he is appreciative of the response that he has gotten from fans regarding the series.
"I've received a lot of appreciation for the story we're telling. People are very enthusiastic. Through these years I've been part of something that matters to people, you know? And that is something very special, you know? You don't get that often," the actor said.
"You don't get to be part of a project that matters so much to audiences... We worked really hard, almost three years of our lives to do one season. So yeah, the way it was received was very special to me."
It is very clear that Luna has been delighted with the reception that the series has received since its premiere and the support has gotten bigger throughout the hiatus as more people discover it.
Hopefully, the second season will live up to the hype and quality, especially as the story will lean closer to Rogue One which is the element that most fans are waiting for.
The second season of Andor is set to premiere on Disney+ somewhere in 2025.
