For ‘Andor’ Star Diego Luna, Being a Producer Was a Dealbreaker: ‘I Want to Be There When My Opinion Matters’

TheWrap magazine: “There’s no project I’ve been part of where I feel the team cares so much about what we’re doing,” the actor/producer said

This story about Diego Luna and “Andor” first appeared in the Down to the Wire: Drama and Limited Series issue of TheWrap’s awards magazine.

Though “Andor” may bear the name of just one man, at its heart it is a series about collaboration and community. This couldn’t be more true for Diego Luna, who portrays the title character, Cassian Andor, but who received his first Emmy nomination because he’s also one of the show’s executive producers.

Luna stresses that pulling the show together was an enormous collective undertaking, thanks in part to its scope as a continuation of the “Star Wars” universe, and also because production took place under COVID-19 safety regulations.
