Star Wars: Diego Luna Reveals Why Rogue One Was So Disappointing For Him


There is little doubt that Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is one of the best Star Wars movies out there. However, Diego Luna has just admitted that there was one thing about the film that he did find rather disappointing.

Luna recently spoke to Syfy about his upcoming Disney+ series where he will reprise his role as Cassian Andor from Rogue One. Interestingly, the If Beale Street Could Talk actor stated that he wasn't quite happy about a certain part of his Star Wars movie.

"When I saw the film the first time, I was so disappointed at the end," Luna said before clarifying, "And not because of the film."

Luna certainly has a good reason for his disappointment. After all, the death of Cassian meant that he would no longer be able to return to the Star Wars Universe. Or so, he thought.

"My son said, ‘But that's it, Dad. Right? That's it,'" Luna recalled after he and his eight-year-old watched Rogue One. "And I go, ‘Well, yes. That's the thing about this film.' Even though I knew, and I understood, I think that's the moment where I really got it. I really realized that a character I loved, and a universe I couldn't care more about [was done]. But the tone of our film, it pays honor to, I believe, the best times of this universe. And obviously, I say the best because it's when I was open and ready to receive that. Those [Star Wars] films left a very deep mark on me, as [the] audience, and as a filmmaker."

Luckily, we haven't seen the last of Luna's Cassian just yet. Hopefully, we can learn more about the character in his upcoming show.

The Cassian Andor series is expected to begin production soon. The show could then premiere on Disney+ by late 2020.
