Ever since Diego Luna initially showcased his talent as Cassian Andor in theStar Warslore in the mid-2010s, fans have been nothing short of perplexed by his star-studded performances. Then came his titular solo show for his character by showrunner Tony Gilroy, and fans just knew for sure that they had found the most immaculate actor to join and lead the live-actionSWsaga.
But while that was that, Luna is once again winning hearts through his personal take on his character that he connects with showrunner Gilroy about, and how he should be portrayed on the screens. And, unarguably enough, his remarks on the same make him everything one needs to become the ultimate perfect heir to George Lucas’ legacy.
Diego Luna Shares His Visionary Thoughts onStar WarsCharacters
WhileDiego Lunaas an actor gives off some true pieces of excellence, he as a visionary holds even more potential of fulfilling fans’ heartiest wishes and bringing to the screens some of the most cinematic pieces of all time from theSWlore. This was evident from his recent remark on the same.
During anActors on Actors episode for Varietywith Hayden Christensen, theRogue Oneactor expressed his thoughts and feelings on the characters and their storylines in theSWsaga. He said:
“I think it’s more than just the look and the presence. It’s the story behind, the simplicity of that.”
Undeniably enough, that is some really wise thinking that could seriously helpLuke Skywalker’s universe. But that isn’t all, for Luna’s further remarks make him even more important for the same.

Continuing, theNarcos: Mexicoactor then shared how heconnectswith showrunnerTony Gilroyabout how he showcased his respective character’s storyline in his solo series, all the while further letting out how it could perfectly establish the ultimate backstory for his character.
Luna said:
“I like that. I connect that with what Tony Gilroy did with ‘Andor,’ this idea of having to tell a story backwards. We have an opportunity to verify this character comes from a past that you would never imagine.”
Needless to say, if anything, this creative thinking on the 44-year-old Mexican actor’s hand truly establishes him as one of those visionary heirs thatGeorge Lucas‘ world desperately needs to tame, helm, and continue the legacy of the fan-favorite sci-fi galaxy.
Hayden Christensen Mirrors His Opinions with Diego Luna’s
While Luna is one to get on the fans’ good side with his exceptional thinking skills,Hayden Christensenis another mastermind to mirror and share his thoughts on the characters from the fan-beloved mammoth universe withThe Book of Lifeactor.
During the same interview with Variety, the Darth Vader portrayer reflected on his own character’s story and how perfectly“Lucas subverted our expectations and understanding of this character”by going back toEpisode Iand introducing him assomething no one could have expected.

He even let out how he felt that Lucas“mapped out a very compelling character arc that was hopefully somewhat sympathetic”for Anakin Skywalker, making it easier for the viewers to understand what he was going through andwhy he made the choices he made.
Continuing, Christensen said:
“It was a very understandable fall to the dark side, but it humanized him and made him a real person and almost somewhat of a pathetic person in a lot of ways. And you feel for Darth Vader now in a different way, too. Because it’s this man trapped in this life that perhaps he didn’t really want.”
Judging from his words and how his visions quite mirror Luna’s, it wouldn’t be an understatement to say that Lucas has two truly impeccable heirs lined up to continuethe legacy he has establishedwith his science fiction world of the Skywalkers.
