Great to see Diego Luna made it in the major leagues. Definitely he needs an opportunity in other big films as well, such a talented actor.

[@Arcadious10]

We need a film with you, @Saul Goodman and Diego Luna

[@bgonza2]

Hey "Saul Goodman," do you know what is the nationality of Diego Luna without researching the answer. I'm just curious thank you.

[@bgonza2]

@@Arcadious10 Hey Arcturus, do you know what is the nationality of Diego Luna without researching the answer.

[@Nurmengard]

he's a good actor... but there are a lot of spanish speaking actor who deserved an opportunity in the "major leagues". sadly... diego is just the funny guy from mexico... he can do a star wars role cus it's star wars... its supposed to be another universe full of diversity, he fits that role perfectly... but cmon, we all know how hollywood is

[@steve-real]

Diego Luna is one of my favorite actors of today. His character in Narcos blew me out of the water! Just amazing! He really is exceptionally talented. Very pumped for Andor. I hope they keep editing right up to the last minute.

[@Isaacthebiggestmoviefan57]

[@VCruz-qp1eq]

You must of not watched his other movies I been a fan of his since he was a kid

[@darthsullen]

@@VCruz-qp1eq any recs ?

[@iHUGOx]

@@darthsullen you should watch "Y tu mamá también", one of his first main movies with Gael Garcia Bernal (movie buds); also "Nicotina" is an amazing piece. And one of my favorites "Rudo y Cursi", where he acts again with Gael.

[@bgonza2]

Mr. Real, do you know what is the nationality of Diego Luna without researching the answer my friend?

[@Ascendant1]

I had no idea he's so exuberant and charming; his character is so serious. That's some great acting!

[@jwanie366]

Hard to believe it’s almost been 6 years since Rogue One came out. Diego looks pretty much the same then as he does now, which is good since “Andor” is obviously taking place before Rogue One

[@Aaronnnnnn]

Yeah he hasn’t aged a bit!

[@authority1016]

Don’t know why but dude he is super handsome!

[@tonallibecerrahuerta1413]

He looks the same since 2000 jaja

[@franciscoramirez557]

Diego luna, el mejor actor, orgullo mexicano

[@Legorreta.M.D]

@@franciscoramirez557 the best Mexican actor will always be Ricardo Montalban

[@placasontime146]

excelent script, excelent performance...the best of SW in many years

[@42kellys]

He is such a sweet guy. And he is extremely talented.

[@ellicel]

Diego’s enthusiasm is contagious

[@Dino13]

I think all Spanish-speaking Star Wars fans remember the moment we each realized Arturito is actually R2-D2 😂. We just grew up hearing it that way, and once we finally saw it written it finally clicked he was not un Arturo pequeño 😂. My nephew had the same experience recently but with BB-8, he was convinced he was really called Bebocho.

[@Lone_Star86]

This guy deserves all the success, just watched Andor, it was brilliant.

[@myelectricbackpack]

Omg “little Arthur” that’s so awesome and adorable 😂

[@jesusrueda4853]

1000% true

[@chappelle23]

As an Arturo with Spanish speaking parents and grandparent, I used to hear that ALL OF THE TIME growing up. Didn’t help that I’m a huge Star Wars fan too lol

[@rorocio93]

"As an Arturo" jajajajajajaja

[@punklejunk]

So intelligent and well-spoken, he interviews so well. I've just become a fan (of Diego. I've been a fan of Arturito for decades!)

[@noelramirez1551]

I remember years ago when Diego was first breaking out in Hollywood a rumor was going around the Spanish gossip shows that he said he would only do interviews in English for now on lol like he had gone Hollywood so fast

[@Pontius888]

Diego Luna es fantastico en todos sus roles, he was incredible in Narcos and he's also a great director!!!

[@stevedavenport1202]

He is a very talented actor

[@marianaacevedonuevo4467]

Diegooo, class act. I hate it when they ignore Guillermo, specially the Mexican guests.

[@BarbaraMoran18]

El llegó y lo integró en todo aspecto con el tequila muy inteligente llevo un tema de conversación para empezar. Like you said Class act!

[@darrickbeitinger7664]

Diego Luna needs to be protected at all costs

[@javen69]

Arturito (little Arthur) adorable and hilarious 😂

[@giulsgasi]

"I made sure there is tequila in space" Lol, I love this man.

[@francescakyanda9182]

I love Andor, Diego is so gorgeous and full of great energy

[@valco7981]

Don't even get me started on "Citripio"! 😂

[@parveens5685]

He seems like such a genuine nice guy! Not to mention a really good actor. I hope to see more of him.

[@jorgesoberanes2378]

He's right about Arturito. We all call him like that here in Mexico

[@nela277]

I think in all Latin American we did. I’m peruvian and I also thought his name was Arturito my hole life 😂 I realized it was R2D2 when I moved to France and I saw Star Wars in French 😱

[@domino1159]

Incluso los simpson lo hicieron en una pequeña parte. Todos amamos a Arturito

[@RafaAkd]

From Venezuela here, I’m sure it was all around the Spanish speaking countries 😅

[@Lupin788]

Diego Luna is such a charming and funny guy. He was great in Rogue One.

[@evolicious]

Andor blew me away. Better than the Mandalorian, and on-point with Rouge-one. Andor is what mature star wars content looks like.

[@hefeibao]

I'm so happy for him. He's such an amazing talent and Andor is easily the best thing to come out of Star Wars since Rogue One.

[@alvarofernandezlecuna118]

From Mexico to Argentina since 1977 when first star wars film was released in spanish in Hispanic American R2D2 translate sounds like ARTURITO in spanish so for decades it's called like that and people knows that character like ARTURITO, obviously real star wars fans don't called that way, but it's a real and funny history from our childhood to this days

[@bgonza2]

¿Es usted mexicano o argentino amigo?

[@geedee94134]

Diego Luna is simply amazing in whatever he does.A future Academy Award winning actor without a doubt.

[@fabricaHumanoide]

I love Diego Luna since he was little, what a cute boy! Now he is a pretty handsome man, and above all, a really good actor. I like he is doing so well, he deserves it.

[@celinagarcia7693]

Once we found a kitten and name him Luna, fast forward 2 months later we found out he was male so we renamed him Diego Luna

[@belll429]

lol that's cute

[@CalAndAly]

My gawd he’s just so lovable! I hope his publicist sees this and knows they crushed it!

[@oscarmerlin1143]

Hope he gets more roles in Hollywood Diego's always been amazing at the characters he has brought to life.

[@NarsilRenewed]

Kudos to Diego, he is a very talented actor, amd he managed to break through in another country, in another language. And he is equally awesome as Miguel Ángel Felix Gallardo and as Cassian Andor! (And holy crap, never seen his ears before!)

[@jerrytai5714]

Loved Diego Luna since Y Tu Mama Tambien! He is so charismatic, humorous and fun to hang out with. Can’t wait for the new show.

[@debbiedoodiedandi]

[@mypal1990]

Nice for Diego for giving Guillermo a partly drank bottle of Don Julio!

[@Primaltreeman]

Diego Luna is a mad lad, and Rogue One was in my opinion the best SW film. Very much looking forward to this series.

[@smokinjoe4684]

Hot take: Andor is better than Mando after 3 episodes.

[@brenna-oh6uy]

Diego is such a delight! Interview him all the time 😊☺️

[@CableAnna]

Andor is probably one of my favourite tv shows of all time, SO good

[@navyryder]

Bravo Diegooooooo!! ♥️♥️♥️✨✨✨ I feel like he were my family, I’m so proud of him, I admire him, I’m just so happy he is in such a good place now but he never forgets about his Mexico. And he is so humble menn I could keep going.. 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

[@-Vitalis-]

"El Arturito" jajajaja... that was great, because I used to call it exactly like that when I was younger. Ese Diego es bastante carismático. Ojalá coseche ese y otros éxitos a futuro. Greetings from Mexico.

[@colormeyellow]

I've been in love with this man since 2004 and I'm so happy he's doing so well

[@elsacuevas8238]

Diego is so funny. Thank you for having him. I am very happy, when I see him to speak. He has a positive and funny energy.

[@brucer2152]

Remember first seeing Diego Luna is "Open Range" and loved it when he was in "Rogue One".

[@monadoboy9639]

He's so wholesome and I'm loving Andor it's awesome

[@StealthPants1]

Diego Luna is just so passionate about star wars, and it really shows

[@bazingiz]

Actually hyped for Andor

[@footballandtechno8]

i love the character andor im glad the show tells us more about him and yeah i dont get tired of saying it rogue one is spectacular

[@MrJoseAlejandro88]

As a Mexican I can verify R2D2 was known as Arturito in Spanish

[@OIP_1]

what a charming guy! all the interviews i have seen with the andor cast are excellent, super talented bunch

[@pontepython]

He is such a joy.

[@mendozaartstudiollc1354]

Diego keeps pushing boundaries. I'd love to see him in another serious film roll. Charolastra!

[@JunkySock]

the book of life his singing makes me cry

[@Lexyboogie]

At first I was so uninterested in this show and didn't think much of Diego Luna since he didn't really grab me in Rogue One, and I haven't seen his other stuff. This show has totally obliterated my expectations and now I'm a fan. It's by far the best Star Wars show.

[@kierrantos587]

Diego, turns out your show is amazing...congratulations!!

When Pedro Pascal & Diego get these roles, doesn’t feel like forced inclusion, it’s talented people getting in for their perfect role… Oberyn Martell, Mando, Andor, Felix Gallardo etc

[@manugibert7355]

Love that he mantains his accent intact.

[@californio1850]

In retrospect, Rogue One was the best of the newer Star Wars films because it added to the original storyline instead of screwing it up.

[@JamesVanAlstine]

I first noticed him in Open Range with Kevin Costner and Robert Duvall where he had a small role. He's come a long way since then. He's great in Andor.

[@Flower-br8pm]

LMAOOOO We call R2D2 "Arturito" in Argentina as well!! Probably every Spanish-speaking country in the world does still!

Okay now we need a scene with R2-D2 where Diego tells 'Artur' to shut up. I still want the Chewie translation tapes released.

[@Vera150607]

I still remember him and Gael starring on Y tu mamá también, what a journey…

[@luis_yance]

Haha never thought I'd see "Arturito" get a shout out in American TV. It was weird growing up learning the name was R2D2 and not "Arturito". Of course, I didn't speak English at all back then, but when I learned a bit it made sense.

Yep, in the latino dub for the original trilogy they dubbed R2D2 as Arturito, something they corrected from the prequels and after. But the Arturito in the OT is still there lol

Would love to see Diego in the MCU.
