GOING ROGUE

ANDOR Digging into the backstory of Diego Luna's Cassian...

- JACK SHEPHERD

Rogue One was a glorious Star Wars experiment - the first anthology film in a galactic franchise ripe for further exploration. Gareth Edwards' epic told the story of a small group of Rebels who defied an Empire and stole the plans for the enemy's ultimate weapon, the Death Star. Now comes the spin-off to the spin-off, a Disney+ series that delves into the origins of Diego Luna’s breakout character, Cassian Andor.

“Rogue One is very much about the event, and now the journey of Andor is about the character,” Luna tells Total Film at Star Wars Celebration, where the first trailer played to thunderous applause. “It’s a huge show, and it’s epic, and it has this thriller aspect and spyish tone. Yet, it’s also a very intimate story of the awakening and transformation of a man. It reminds us that we are all capable of doing great stuff. We’re all capable of finding out that we are a tool of change.”
