“We plan this as four films,” Diego Luna told Infobae for the premiere of “Andor”

His career was good enough without going into starwars to be popular or known in much of the world. He was constantly working in Hollywood and in the Mexican audiovisual industry, but the offer came to him to join Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and decided to take it with great responsibility: “It made me feel that it had been worth it, that it made sense to have done it. As it is a universe in which many things already happen, there are already many stories of starwars out there If you are going to enter it is because you are going to contribute something ”, he told Infobae through a video call. In almost 10 minutes, diego moon spoke with full commitment Andorthe series for which he has been working for four years and which has already premiered in Disney+.

Whether or not from the Star Wars universe, Andor has a clear objective: to tell a long story, well narrated, without too much rush to entertain, but rather to advance Cassian Andor’s personal life and his decisions, his place, his environment and his past. It is a series that, according to Luna, is designed as four films divided into 12 episodes. And that the series in general will have two seasons.

“We set out to have an approach, although it is a format that is new for almost all of us who are in this team, starting with Tony Gilroy, who is our leader and the singing voice. But all of us in general, both writers and designers, have worked more in cinema. And a bit what we were looking for was that patience in the visual language, but also in the narrative. It was important to reveal little by little, “explained the star about the work he has Andor far from the tone and speed with which the titles of StarWars. He also added: “The idea was to take advantage of the fact that we have a 12-episode format and we planned this as four movies. We can fit four films here, inside therefore, many things can happen and with all the patience in the world, you don’t have to throw everything in the first episode “.

The new fiction starwars, who already debuted in Disney+ with three episodes, it is not just another fiction. We tell you in this note the details of its first chapters, but basically it has a more adult tone and gets into the true rawness of the Empire and all the submission exerted in its stage of total domination. The Mexican actor explained the reasons for such a wide debut: “That is why we also thought it important to show three episodes at once, which is not what is normally done in Disney+ and it’s not what we originally planned. And from saying so much: ‘Hey, it’s important that the public see three at once so that they understand the potential, so that they understand the bet that the series means.’ It has to do with that little by little things are articulating and you understand. And suddenly something happens that you think has a meaning and after a while you realize that it had another and suddenly you meet a character that you don’t really know what he’s doing there. And in two or three episodes you’re going to find out.”

There is something that distinguishes Andor from other series in the George Lucas saga and is its deepening into political, social and diplomatic aspects, but that has nothing to do with the Jedi and the Skywalker family. That’s how Gilroy planned it for rogue one and kept it for the 2016 film’s prequel series. The Bourne saga writer and director of Michael Clayton, Duplicity Y The Bourne Legacy He put all his talent at the service of this series to make it different.

diego moon distinguishes and values ​​the work of his showrunner and the man who went looking for him twice to be a rebel in starwars: “Tony (Gilroy) is a guy who knows how to articulate this in a masterful way. He is a writer who has an answer for everything. Nothing happens because ‘oh, how cool would it be for this to happen right now’. Nerd. Everything has a reason and an explanation and that is why it also took us four and a half years. There is work on precision and detail that takes time”.

Beyond the seriousness and commitment with which the protagonist and executive producer of Andor the series was taken, there is room for love for the saga: “It is not something that I have projected. It’s not something I’ve thought or dreamed of, far from it. As a viewer, I grew up watching these films a lot and my first encounter with cinema had a lot to do with starwars, but as a spectator. Then as an actor, as if my goals and my dreams were set elsewhere, “confessed Luna.

On his entry into the franchise, he added: “When they invited me to rogue one It was really something that came out of nowhere, I didn’t see it coming and the same thing happened to me with this series. The truth is that I had already said goodbye to this universe, I had already said goodbye to this character, I had also really enjoyed the trip and when they called me I couldn’t believe it. Enter to starwars It implies an unforgettable journey full of surprises, such as being an action figure. About seeing himself or having his own figure, Diego said that without a doubt it is an improved version: “The issue of having an action figure makes me laugh a lot and I try to think little about it, because if one day I get used to it that is normal, this… I hope someone gets me off that trip and slaps me and reminds me that life is different”.

Diego Luna stars Andorthe new series of Disney+ already available on the platform with three episodes and a new one every Wednesday.
