In \"Andor,\" Cassian is far from the experienced Rebel we were introduced to in \"Rogue One.\"

\"You're going to meet a guy that is just surviving,\" Luna said. \"He's not aware of what he's capable of, what can happen, how much change is possible. He has lost faith. He's in a very dark moment in his life. He's pretty cynical about it.\"

Luna said the show is \"ambitious\" and constantly \"evolves\" throughout the 12-episode first season. This, he said, is where \"Andor\" benefits over \"Rogue One,\" saying the long-form storytelling of a streaming series \"helps you stop and breathe like film doesn't and be ambitious in a way film can't.\"

As for whether or not being a part of \"Star Wars\" wins him any cool dad points with his kids Jerónimo and Fiona, Luna had a mixed response.

\"It's a very short coolness moment, because then I go back to being the dad who has to remind them about brushing their teeth, and then I lose all my popularity in a second,\" he said.

\"Andor\" is now streaming on Disney+.

A subscription to Disney+ costs $7.99 per month or $79.99 per year, and a bundle consisting of Disney+, Hulu and ESPN+ costs $13.99 per month.

Disney is the parent company of Lucasfilm as well as ABC News and \"Good Morning America.\"
