We spoke w/ diegoluna_ about the Andor season finale, how Season 2 will affect RogueOne, and more.
Six years ago, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story delivered one of the best stories in the Star Wars universe, so it’s no surprise that Tony Gilroy’s critically acclaimed series Andor has delivered more of the same soul-stirring storytelling about fighting back against authoritarian regimes and finding one's place in the heart of the rebellion.
DIEGO LUNA: We did start yesterday, and man, it's incredible. Here we go again. It's just like this format of series. It just doesn't give you time to celebrate. I finished the looping for the Spanish-speaking territories, basically two weeks and a half ago. Then I started doing the last rounds of press for the finale, and here we are already shooting the second season. It's incredible. I mean, I'm happy we're doing it, but it's just like nonstop. It's crazy.
You know what's beautiful? That when I hear people talking about the show in social media, when I read the reviews, I hear a lot of the words that we were reminding ourselves every day on set. The darkness, the complexity, the depth, the intimacy, the realism. I think that's one thing Tony and we were all trying to remind ourselves, this has to feel real, this has to feel real. It has to give you the opportunity to forget that you are in a galaxy far, far away for a second.
Obviously, for all of us, we're thinking it's either a piece of the Death Star, it's part of a Super Star Destroyer, but it's also possible that it's going to be paid off in Season 2. LUNA: I agree. At least from what we see. He doesn't know and clearly doesn't believe in that. Even if he had heard of them he clearly doesn't believe in them. But I don't think they've even heard of that. No.What shot from Season 1 ended up being a surprising challenge, or even a sequence, when you think back on the shoot?
One of the reasons why so many of us rave about the material, because of how much everything is interconnected. Every aspect of the show is just so well done. But do you think it was Maarva's death, or the prison, or both that finally said to Cassian, I need to join the rebellion? I love the finale, the last scene, where Cassian is talking to Luthen. “Either kill me or let me in.” Can you talk about filming that scene? Because with some TV shows, the finale would've been the breaking out of prison, or robbing the Empire. But the finale of Season 1 is Cassian finally saying, "I want to be in the rebellion."
When you say another TV show would've ended in a different moment, I think that's a very important thing that we did. I don't know if we were completely aware of it, but we tried never to be any other show. And we were not comparing our show with anything else but our show, basically.
LUNA: I mean, my reaction is, I don't get shocked anymore about the quality of the writing because I know Tony, I know the writers, I know the process. And even though when you read something that is a work in progress, it's already better than half of what you've read before in your life. It's incredible. It's incredible. Most of what's happening in this season, [I’ve known] since we started planning Season 1. Structurally, it got tighter.
LUNA: Well, I'll say two things. First, I haven't shot anything yet. I am coming from set, but from doing tests, not from filming. So I haven't stepped on stage as Cassian yet. I still have a few days for that to happen. But I can tell you one thing is that... What should I tell you about this? Well, I'll tell you that... No, I can't tell you anything, man.
