How many times has Diego Luna played Cassian Andor in Star Wars?
By Kieran Burt
Diego Luna is currently crushing his role as Cassian Andor in the Andor TV show, showing the audiences a far more selfish side to the character. Luna is best known for his appearance as Andor in Rogue One, and hasn’t appeared as the character in anything else.
How many Star Wars films has Diego Luna been in?
Luna has so far only been in one Star Wars film as Cassian Andor, in 2016’s Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. This is where audiences first meet the character, as a Rebel Intelligence Officer who is willing to go further than most Rebels to defeat the Empire.
How many Star Wars TV Shows has Diego Luna been in?
Luna has only appeared as Cassian Andor in one Star Wars TV show, Andor. It tells the story of the formation of the Rebel Alliance, following both Luna’s Cassian Andor and Genevieve O’Reilly’s Mon Mothma. The show is in the middle of its release on Disney+, starting with a three episode premiere on September 21. Following episodes will air once a week on Wednesday’s, with the last episode releasing on November 23. There will be 12 episodes in total.
Has Diego Luna been in any Star Wars video games?
Luna has so far not appeared in any Star Wars video games as Andor. It’s unlikely that Luna will appear as the character in any upcoming projects. Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is the only upcoming video game where Cassian might appear, however it’s extremely unlikely as Jedi Survivor takes place four years prior to Andor, before the character begins his journey of rebellion.
Will Diego Luna play Cassian Andor in the future?
Luna will reprise his role as Cassian Andor in Andor season 2, which is scheduled to start filming in November.
Luna has addressed if he will play the role again in a different project. Appearing in Entertainment Weekly’s podcast, Dagobah Dispatch, Luna was asked if he could play Andor in another Star Wars prequel project. He responded by saying that someone else would have to do it, as he isn’t getting any younger.
When pressed, he said “For me, this is it. It’s a beautiful journey now that I have 24 episodes, 24 shorter films, to tell the story of where Cassian comes from and how he got to be the man we met in Rogue One.”
There is little chance Luna will return to play Cassian in a project set after Rogue One. Cassian dies at the end of the film, meaning there is very little likelihood that Andor will show up again, unless he’s resurrected.
