Diego Luna says Andor season 2 will completely change how we see Rogue One

As a long-time Star Wars enthusiast who has witnessed the highs and lows of this iconic saga, I must admit that the absence of K-2SO in the first season of Andor left a void that was hard to fill. However, with the announcement of his arrival in Season 2, my excitement levels have reached an all-time high!


Viewers felt let down when the less recognized character, K-2SO, the beloved robot from Rogue One, who bravely sacrificed himself to enable Diego Luna‘s Cassian Andor and Felicity Jones’ Jyn Erso to snatch the Death Star plans, was absent in Season 1 of Andor. However, the sassy, reprogrammed Imperial droid will eventually grace our screens on Disney+ with his streaming debut during the second season, which is scheduled for 2025.

1. His character’s presence on the show, as well as other aspects, will round off the complete narrative loop that began with the 2016 movie. Originally a prequel to “Star Wars: A New Hope,” the tale of “Rogue One” was traced even further back by “Andor,” revealing various components of the intricate machinery behind the Rebellion.

Regarding the upcoming season, Luna shared with Entertainment Weekly that it will offer Star Wars enthusiasts a fresh perspective on the movie “Rogue One”.

I think people watching Rogue One, after watching Season 2, are going to see a different film. Everything will be signified differently knowing what had to happen for K-2 to be there. It’s going to make you witness the journey of Rogue One in a different way, I think. And not just with K-2, but with many other characters. I think it’ll be really cool.

As a huge fan, I can’t wait to understand why K-2SO becomes such a pivotal character for the rebels in Rogue One. It was simply a delight working alongside Alan Tudyk, the talented actor who brings K-2SO to life both on screen and in the series. It feels like completing a circle with our characters’ connection.

Luna appeared quite excited about Season 2 of Andor, expressing her expectation that she’d be able to view it and follow up by watching the movie in a theater, surrounded by a pile of popcorn and friends.

Although no specific launch date for Season 2 has been announced, it is set to premiere in 2025 and will likely further develop the narrative towards the movie. At D23 Expo 2024, Luna revealed that the season will span a four-year period, showcasing Andor’s transformation into the hero who ultimately makes the significant sacrifice portrayed in “Rogue One.”

In this season, the stakes are greater, enemies more organized, and clock is ticking. Empire threat grows, Andor has a high purpose, freedom and a better tomorrow.

In addition to K-2SO, another iconic character set to grace our TV screens for the second season is Orson Krennic, played by Ben Mendelsohn, who embodies the menacing presence of the Galactic Empire. Forest Whitaker’s Saw Gerrera will also reappear.

Andor Season 2 will premiere on Disney+ in early 2025.
