Diego Luna Talks K-2SO’s Return and How ANDOR Season 2 Ties Into ROGUE ONE
Perhaps our most anticipated Star Wars project of 2025 is the second season of Andor, set to hit Disney+ next year. But star Diego Luna was at D23 recently presenting a teaser for the second season of Andor, and he gave Entertainment Weekly some more tidbits about what fans can expect. And one of those things is the return of Alan Tudyk as the “no filter” droid from Rogue One, K-2SO. Luna says fans will view Rogue One through a totally different lens once Andor season two concludes. Here’s what he had to say:
You’re going to see why K-2 is so important in Rogue One, and how does he get to be such an important character for the Rebellion. I think people watching Rogue One, after watching season two, are going to see a different film. Everything will be signified differently knowing what had to happen for K-2 to be there. It’s going to make you witness the journey of Rogue One in a different way, I think. And not just with K-2, but with many other characters. I think it’ll be really cool.
Luna even suggests that Disney use Andor’s second season as a marketing strategy for a Rogue One re-release. He said, “I’m sure someone from Lucasfilm and Disney will give us the opportunity to watch season two and then go straight to watch the film on a big screen with tons of popcorn and friends around.” You hear that Lucasfilm? Diego Luna is doing all of your marketing for you! The second season of Andor will cover four years, dovetailing right into the events of Rogue One. So it’s a prequel to a prequel, but also a sequel to a different prequel (Revenge of the Sith). Whatever it is, we love it, and can’t wait for season two to arrive next year.
