Diego Luna Teases What Fans Can Expect From Upcoming ‘Star Wars’ Series ‘Andor’
Jimmy Kimmel introduced Luna by sharing a brief scene from the premiere of “Andor,” which can be seen in the video above. The show seemed darker than some other Disney+ series, prompting Kimmel to ask the 42-year-old actor if the show was aimed at adults and not kids.
Luna said that “it’s a complex show” and noted that her son, 14, and daughter, 12, both love the show, so it’s as much for kids as it is for adults. Luna said that she thinks “it’s about people wanting complexity.”
He noted that there were “too many layers to the show at times” and felt that “Andor” brought “the adventure and action that you want to see in Star Wars.” However, he said that the show “got very dark and political.”

He clarified his comments by saying that the show is ultimately a spy thriller, a comment that has been echoed by “The Bourne Legacy” creator and actor Tony Gilroy, who also wrote “Rogue One.”

Jimmy Kimmel also asked Diego Luna about the decision to release three episodes at once when the show premieres on Disney+ on Wednesday, September 21.
Luna said that the first season was “like a movie, everything,” noting that “it’s going to be like an hour.” He said that “a good part” of the series will be “like a movie, basically.” However, he added, “it’s important to us that you see three episodes and understand what we’re aiming for.”
