By Rollo Ross and Danielle Broadway Los Angeles (Reuters) -for actor Diego Luna, season two of the Disney Plus series “Andor”, based on the “Star Wars” franchise, correlates with the actual sociopolitical issues that go beyond the show. “Oh my God, it’s so pertinent today. But think about it. If it was ready a year ago, it probably would have been applicable again,” said Luna, who plays the head of the show Cassian Andor, in an interview. The series is about a community that takes control and has a responsibility to be active citizens, Luna noted. “It’s always a beautiful memory.” The second and final season of the award -winning television series “Star Wars” will start streaming on Disney Plus on Tuesday. This season follows the adventures of rebel agent Cassian Andor, as many characters gather to create the Rebel Alliance, a staple in the “Star Wars” films. The first season of ‘Andor’, created and written by Tony Gilroy, was nominated for the best drama series during the Primetime Emmy Awards. “Writing Tony Gilroy, it’s always like proving you wrong. If you think, “Ok, it’s going there and he’s going to solve it like that,” he comes with an idea that just makes you think and see it from a perspective that you don’t know that it was even possible, “Luna said. One unpredictable element is the romantic, but toxic relationship between two imperial officers, Dedra, played by Denise Gough and Syril, depicted by Kyle Soller. After a cut was released online to promote the new season, many fans began to “send”, or to become the two characters a romantic couple. Gough admitted to listening to Ben Mendelsohn, the Australian actor who plays the antagonist Orson Krennic, was in the dark about the meaning of ‘shipping’. ‘Ben Mendelsohn was like’ it’s like the love boat. You’re on the love boat, ‘she said. “So it’s Ben Mendelsohn’s idea of shipping.” Season two is the end of Luna’s journey as Andor and as executive producer of the series. “I’m going to need therapy to answer it,” Luna said when asked how he would say goodbye to his role.
