Andor: Diego Luna reveals how Cassian ascends to new heights in Season 2

As a long-time Star Wars enthusiast and avid fan of Diego Luna’s captivating portrayal of Cassian Andor, I eagerly await the premiere of Andor Season 2 on April 22, 2025. The journey of this complex character, from a cynical and selfish operative to one of the most respected members of the Rebel Alliance, promises to be nothing short of enthralling.


Over the past decade, I’ve been immersed in unraveling the intricate life story of one of the Rebellion’s most esteemed heroes, Cassian Andor. Now, I’m eager to bring his journey to life on screen and share how he rose through the ranks and earned the respect of the Rebel Alliance.

In an interview with Empire Magazine, Diego emphasized that this new season showcases a dedicated and selfless Cassian, contrasting his cynical and self-centered character from Season 1. This time around, we’ll see Cassian in a new phase as he embarks on perilous missions for the Rebel Alliance. Through continually risking his life, Cassian aims to climb to the highest ranks of trusted rebels within the Alliance, but the path will be challenging as he faces a steep uphill battle.

It’s someone who has to ascend. There’s a huge mountain for him to climb in order to become the guy we meet in Rogue One.

In the first season, Cassian Andor traveled on his own, but it’s been confirmed that in Season 2, Cassian’s closest companion, K-2SO, will join him in every step of his journey.

It tells you a lot about Cassian that his best friend is a droid. And a droid he had to reprogramme.

K-2SO isn’t your average robot; he’s Cassian’s trusted companion, and his wit offers a delightful burst of humor amidst the otherwise somber storyline. Together, they embark on perilous journeys across the cosmos, offering viewers glimpses of familiar territories. Tony Gilroy hints at Yavin 4’s reappearance, implying we’ll learn about its crucial role in the Alliance’s activities.

In Season 2, we can only speculate where Cassian’s path leads, but it’s common knowledge that Scarif is his ultimate destination. It’s possible that other heroes from Rogue One who gave their lives for the Rebellion will reappear in Season 2. However, the show might not explicitly reveal who Cassian was with on Scarif, Jyn Erso. Given that Ben Mendelsohn will reprise his role as Orson Krennic, there’s a higher chance that the Ersos could be mentioned. If the series delves into the making of the Death Star, Galen Erso could have a significant part to play.

It appears that Felicity Jones’ comeback might be uncertain, but enthusiastic viewers have noticed an intriguing similarity between a recently released image of Cassian from Season 2 and a scene featuring Jyn and Cassian from the movie “Rogue One.

Andor Season 2 premieres April 22, 2025 on Disney+.
