Star Wars star Diego Luna has revealed more characters from Rogue One will show up in Andor Season 2.
As reported by Popverse, the Cassian Andor actor said at ACE Superhero Comic Con 2024 that, as the series grows closer to the events of Rogue One, fans will see more characters from that film show up.
Andor is, of course, a prequel series to Rogue One, which itself is a prequel to Star Wars: Episode 4 - A New Hope. Season 2 will end just three days before the beginning of Rogue One, thus completing the stories of Cassian and his allies.
"I can tell you, Rogue One is coming, so there will be characters there that you will recognize, There will be cool stuff," Luna said.
"For those who love Rogue One, this season is going to be very special. And it’s going to be fascinating to go straight to Rogue One after watching this second season, because you will see Rogue One from a different perspective. I promise you that."
Luna didn't reveal anything more about the incoming episodes, which were pushed out of 2024 by Disney seemingly due to delays caused by the Hollywood strikes of 2023, but he did promise they would be as involved as Season 1's.
"[Showrunner] Tony Gilroy is a fantastic writer, and he created amazing characters that we got to meet in Andor Season 1," Luna said
"It’s going to be a very rich second season, because all those stories matter today. It is a true ensemble piece. It got very complicated in Seaason 1, and everything has to get resolved. Every story matters."
In our 9/10 review of Season 1's opening episodes, IGN said: "Andor is off to a fantastic start thanks to its compelling performances, corporate thriller undertones, and considered filmmaking."
