He’s so ambitious, and he takes so much time and he delivers.
There’s no characters there just because we need to trigger something.
There’s an important reason.
We are talking about the journey of someone that decides to give everything for the cause, you know?
[Tony] has answered all those questions.
I just feel really proud to be part of such a rich show.

We have 12 episodes of 40 something minutes and I don’t think we wasted any time.
I must agree with Luna.
Not a single second of screen time inAndoris wasted.

Everything has a purpose, including every single member of the ensemble.
I think [Tonys] story is something that connects easily with what I had in mind.
For me, it wasn’t like that when I was getting ready for Rogue One.
I had to create my own backstory.
Backstory that no one cared about.
It was just mine in terms of, I didn’t have to get there with any other actor.
My character was coming from somewhere else, you know?
He has this accent that no one shares, and he clearly has left everything behind.
It’s a beautiful story that reminds us what we are capable of, basically.
These characters feel really close to the world you and I live in.
Or, more specifically, to make viewers forget that we’re in a galaxy far, far away.
How exactly did they pull that off?
The key to getting a viewer to feel the unseen/unspoken was having answers to every question.
Luna continued:
We all needed to know the story behind.
This is something we spend a lot of time doing.
Theres no leaning on sci-fi suspension of disbelief inAndor.
That, who cares?
The character happens to be here.
In this process, that wasn’t the case.
In this process, if you didn’t have an answer, you were not doing your job.
And that applied [to] everyone on set.
Not just the actors.
He explained:
I wanted to understand everything, and I would ask the questions.
Thats not written, you know?
Ah, lets do it this way, and we came up with that little thing.
Looking for more from Luna on the making ofAndorSeason 1 and what to expect from Season 2?
Theres loads more from where this came from!
