STAR WARS Live-Action Series Starring Diego Luna As ROGUE ONE's Cassian Andor In The Works
It's just been announced that a new live-action Star Wars series will join The Mandalorian on Disney's upcoming streaming service, and it'll see Diego Luna reprise the role of Captain Cassian Andor...
The second of several planned live-action Star Wars series for the new Disney+ streaming service has been officially announced, and this one will focus on the early life of Rogue One's Rebel spy, Captain Cassian Andor (Diego Luna).
This still untitled project will follow Jon Favreau's previously announced The Mandalorian, which recently commenced production.
The last time we saw Andor he was nobly giving his life for the Rebellion alongside Jyn Erso (Felicity Jones) at the end of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, so this new show will obviously be a prequel.

Disney Chairman and CEO Bob Iger announced today that Lucasfilm is in development on a second Star Wars live-action series for Disney+, the Company’s new direct-to-consumer streaming service. The series, which will go into production next year, follows the adventures of rebel spy Cassian Andor during the formative years of the Rebellion and prior to the events of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Diego Luna will reprise the role of Andor.
“Going back to the Star Wars universe is very special for me,” said Luna. “I have so many memories of the great work we did together and the relationships I made throughout the journey. We have a fantastic adventure ahead of us, and this new exciting format will give us the chance to explore this character more deeply.”
The rousing spy thriller will explore tales filled with espionage and daring missions to restore hope to a galaxy in the grip of a ruthless Empire.
