Diego Luna on the Andor story he’d like to explore: “The year we don’t see between season 1 and season 2”

We’re leaping into the final season of Andor, a season that will ultimately take us to the beginning of Rogue One and – for Cassian Andor at least – his heroic demise, but that doesn’t necessarily mean Luna or co-star Adria Arjona have played Cassian and Bix for the last time. Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter, they were asked whether they would consider coming back, and both actors were enthusiastic in their replies.

ARJONA Look, I love a job!

LUNA (Laughs.) She’s already in!

ARJONA I’m in!

LUNA I would, yes. I want to say yes. This second season is very clear that, for revolution, there’s a lot that needs to be happening. The political and social climate has to be very specific. There’s a lot of loss, pain and injustice. But there’s something else needed, which is love and belonging. And I would love to tell the story of these two characters during the year we don’t see between season one and season two.

ARJONA Oh yeah!

LUNA This moment of history in a galaxy far, far away is at its darkest, and to have the opportunity to see a love story and build a love story — and connect them the way they seem to be connected when we find them again [in season two] — could be so beautiful and unique. It’s interesting, no?

Very interesting indeed, and something many fans would be more than curious to see, an entire year assyed perhaps in a shorter season, dipping into the many gaps in this final, four year, four arc,, 12 episode season. We can but hope.
