Actor Diego Luna, who portrays Captain Cassian Andor in Rogue One which is set to arrive globally in theaters next week, spent some time speaking with Slashfilm about his new Star Wars character. Check out the interview via the provided link and be sure to also read up on Slashfilm’s earlier interviews with director Gareth Edwards and K-2SO’s Alan Tudyk if needed.
Everyone at the Rogue One: A Star Wars Story junket is tired, exhausted from days of press and hours of interviews. Except for Diego Luna. He’s alert and energetic and improbably cheerful for a man who has been answering questions from reporters and bloggers all day.
The actor I sit down with couldn’t feel more different from his character, Captain Cassian Andor, a Rebel intelligence officer who was seen making some very tough decisions in the Rogue One footage we saw the night before. Cassian is a pragmatic soldier not above living in shades of gray to get the job done. Diego Luna is positive, charming, and had to go camping with former Marines so he could learn the ins and outs of soldering. Our conversation was far too brief.
