Diego Luna Reveals Andor Secrets: Exclusive Studio Interview! | Star Wars | Sith Council

[@TheKristianHarloff]

Hey guys please subscribe if you are brand new! Trying to get to 65,000 by end of year!

[@Thisisgood99]

Damn Kristian ive been following you all and the schmoes since around 2013-2014 and this is a massive get. As weird as it is to say this made me proud haha.

[@cjc2]

Awesome interview! Love your channel Kristian!

[@markm1261]

Yes everyone should subscribe to his channel. Kristian has so much to show and offer it’s amazing. Been watching him for years and I’m always impressed by his ability to make things happen. I could preach the gospel of Harloff but I’ll stop while I’m ahead.

[@NisGaarde]

Dude, such a great interview. 'Andor' has completely revitalized my interest in Star Wars. It was in shreds after 'The Rise Of Skywalker' and was almost completely extinguished by 'Book Of Boba Fett' and 'Obi-Wan Kenobi'. But man. They finally got it right and I'm back on board!

[@Dk._]

Done. Liked and subscribed. Great get and great interview! Never subscribed before cuz I only watch you on occasion, didn’t think most of your stuff was my cup of tea but I’d love to see you get more interviews like this because you are a great interviewer. I thought you were very charming and disarming, great questions, great rapport, and it really seemed like you and Diego connected. Just a pleasure to watch, well done. The in-studio aspect was especially nice as well. I’ll be going through your back catalogue and catching up on what I have been missing out on!

[@BoomorBust]

Kristian's face while he was intro'ing Diego was priceless lol. You could see the pure excitement in his eyes.

[@markkuykendall5475]

Sometimes we argue with each other and talk trash. We fight about stuff from time to time. When we see someone looking like Kristian did, THAT is fandom at its best. THAT is stuff that none of us fight about. :)

[@timwelch5108]

What a great interview! You can feel Diego’s passion and how much he cares. My favorite thing he said was “having 12 episodes of tv is nothing, but having 12 episodes of tv with something to say is something”. That’s amazing

[@IchGlaubEsHacktWohl]

As someone who saw SW in cinema 1978 I can tell you - Andor is as close as you can get to the original SW feeling of those days. It’s simply great.

[@recordatron]

Diego was absolutely born to play this role. His ability to convey steely cold blooded determination mixed with vulnerability and trauma is impeccable. This has been one of the absolute surprise hits of the year for me and the show resonated with me on a deeply personal level. I'm so pleased it wasn't diluted and was allowed to be such a cerebral and intense show. Absolutely masterful television.

[@OrionInSpace]

The fact that you were able to get this legend to come to your own house for this was actually nuts and I applaud it! Congrats on getting this to happen Kristian, I love Diego and you did a great job with this interview!🙏

[@MichaelMidnight]

[@lastchance10123]

Andor and Diego Luna deserve so much love, he’s incredible and so is the show

[@AntonicontHandmadeLures]

And then you wonder why Andor is so good. That's why. Thanks to people like Diego Luna and all the people involved in this project. You can see the passion, the attention and the respect that have been poured into this show. Also thank you for putting together one of the best, if not the best interview on this subject.

[@BIGSchuZ]

I'm so happy Diego is still connected to Star Wars. Such a talented and smart dude

[@jpkc86]

Thank you Mr. Luna, and the whole team behind Andor. I’m a kid born in the 70’s and this Star Wars feels my age!! I wanna note that I went into this project negatively. StarWars, outside of a few projects, had really not been delivering for ME personally and since ROTJ I’ve been wanting/waiting for this Star Wars. But I didn’t expect it!! You all NAILED IT! Whatever awards come or don’t come won’t matter… thank you for this Star Wars!! (Please give us the lost years that come in between the end of this season and beginning of next. I guarantee you if next season of Andor is like this.. people will want them!!)

[@thedefinitionisthis]

DAMN! What a great guest land! Diego Luna is a champ. LOVE that he's gotten a chance to expand on Cassian, and wanna see more of him in future seasons/projects!

[@leeannmaiden1]

Congrats!!!!! Diego is such an amazing actor and he seemed so lovely and kind in studio! Love all your work Kristian this was an amazing interview ❤️

[@Tiagofgs1977]

Diego Luna was the perfect choice since Rogue one. The simplicity he approaches every subject and the way he feels the need to connect makes him a great actor. Thank you Kristian for this moment. As a regular of Sith Council and your channels I beleive you gave me the perfect Christmas present. Happy Holidays.

[@gmantov]

Very cool interview! Diego seems to be such a laid-back person and was so nice. I heard from many people who have worked with him (actors and crew) that he is very easy to work with, zero drama, zero diva. And this interview just reinforces it. I hope he gets all the awards possible.

[@mikerotonda6264]

I always liked Diego!. Seriously.. Hes a great actor.. And seems like a normal Down to earth guy.. Im so happy for him, and his success in ANDOR... He deserves it

[@MosheGyt]

I can’t believe you made this happen this is incredible

[@Bringthewitt]

Awesome to hear Diego talk about the motivations behind the show. Most intelligent and best written Star Wars possibly ever. Can’t wait for season 2.

[@LoLoA89]

I met Diego in London at BFI, when he debuted his film “Las Elegidas”. He was extremely kind, very humble, and beyond charming. He lived up to all of my childhood fantasies when watching and rewatching him in Dirty Dancing 2. My cousin and I were in love with him. 😂 Great to see him here!

[@rayrack5416]

First watched Diego in Open Range. Amazing movie and performance.

[@Sparkk0]

I love Diego. What a classy person. He clearly cares about making good art. He's not there for the glamour and 'oh I'm in Star Wars' but to tell a good story. He gets it. We must capture him. Study him.

[@benthehoopsshow]

Wow! Huge thanks to Diego for making time to come on the show. This is REAL fan engagement.

[@MassiveHappyClapper]

Thanks to Diego Luna for his contribution to Star Wars and coming on the show. What a top guy and well done Kristian. An early Christmas gift for sure. I love Andor. It is my favourite of all the shows. The little animated intro was cool. I think a mix of shows and tones in Star wars is cool. I think there is a place for more adult centric star wars. Something for long term adult fans who have supported Star wars for decades. I thought as an original trilogy fan that Obi Wan might be that. It wasnt. Andor totally delivered.

[@harold3165]

You deserve this, Kristian! Been a fan for a while and I'm glad to see things really taking off for you.

[@MynjaBidniz]

I love how at points you could tell Harloff was so engaged he forgot to switch cameras 😆

[@joelk7923]

Big congrats on this one, dude. I absolutely loved Andor and following the season along with you, Steph, and Mike.

[@Strawberryknight]

I want to say thank you to Diego Luna to bring us Andor. The acting is so compelling and the story reflects our real world where tyranny rules (North Korea, Russia, China, Hong Kong, Iran, Myanmar, Afghanistan, Syria, Rwanda, Uganda, Venezuela, etc.). There are so many emotional scenes which resonate our real-life experiences. Andor is more Star Wars than Star Wars. Rebels defeat the Empire, not because of the light saber or force; it is the people who sacrifice their lives to fight the tyranny, knowing they would never see the sunrise.

[@belgianheskey]

I think his accent adds a lot to the character, it's mostly aliens that are given non english or american accents. Him having an accent adds a nice thin layer to andor to make him unique

[@TheKristianHarloff]

I agree!

[@chghfd4946]

One of the best show on Disney+. Season 2 is going to be beyond hype

[@DIEKALSTER8]

He was great. Absolutely loved Andor and as good as it was in one moment, it still kept surprising you and upping the ante. Diego Luna put on a great nuanced performance and I can't wait for season 2!

[@CarlosGarcia-yg9je]

Roge One was the best Star Wars movie since Empire Strikes Back. Now, Andor is amongst those two great Star Wars movies.

[@AndreThompson925]

When Andor was announced, I was 'Luke' warm about the idea of this show. And then I watched the first 3 episodes...and I thought it was good. Then with every subsequent episode it got better. And better. And BETTER. Until I saw the last episode and all of a sudden, I sat back and thought to myself, this was the best, most well-written Star Wars with top tier acting and real stakes. I'm so excited for Diego Luna and everyone who helped make one hell of a show.

[@samuel-myshells8959]

Diego in your own house must have felt and been amazing! HUGE PROPS on landing this interview bro!

[@kinja73]

Epic score, Kristian. Well done. Diego was great! Really felt his passion for this project. Hope to see more of the cast and Tony himself in future episodes!

[@estwilde]

Super cool dude. Fantastic show. They've really managed to put together something special. Everything involved should feel proud.

[@viceng7153]

It's so amazing to hear the passion and attention to detail that was present in the making of Andor because it shows and is why it is the best Star Wars thing I've personally ever experienced.

[@axeman3d]

Andor and Diego deserve to be celebrated, the writing & acting were amazing and far beyond what we have come to expect from modern Star Wars. Tony Gilroy knocked it out of the park.

[@Major98]

He deserves all the praise from Andor. Amazing interview Kristian. Awesome to see

[@davidisho13]

As always, Kristian puts out a phenomenal interview. It feels like a conversation instead of just pushing through the same old questions you’d normally see.

[@fredericofb]

Wow! First of all, congratulations for having Diego on your show! Incredible feature! Second, what a great interview! You know it’s a good one when the guest speaks much more than what he’s been asked. I always liked Diego luna but now I respect him even more. You can see his dedication to his work and this series and you can see he’s a grounded person. He doesn’t have any sign of being a Star. He’s just a regular guy who does very well his job and loves what he does. He’s being totally honest on his answers! Very well done, harloff!

[@TheKristianHarloff]

Thank you!

[@Drew914]

Wow! Wow! Wow! All the praise, Mr. Harloff on getting Diego Luna on Sith Council. He's so humble and deprecating, and so passionate about the work. Season 2 can't come soon enough.

[@kadendawson3013]

Wow awesome video. Great to get some behind the scenes about such a great show, and to hear Luna's take on the show!

[@juicewick]

This was so amazing. Luna is such a great actor.

[@VideoClubRandom]

Thanks for this great talk with Diego, Kristian. Congratulations!

[@davidisho13]

So freaking amazing to have Diego Luna in studio. You’re a genuinely awesome dude and I’m happy for you!

[@durkadurka4557]

I can't believe Luna said "it just happens to be in a galaxy far far away". That is exactly what I wrote in another youtube vid I watched about Andor a few days ago. It's a story about the soul crushing oppression of years of living under a dictatorial regime of the everyday men and women and all the different reasons why it eventually reaches critical mass. The back story of all the characters, the locations, the sets, the cinematography all come together in a way that immerses you in every scene. I would easily put this in the same category as Vikings, The Wire or The Last Kingdom. I see this series viewership growing in the same way that Yellowstone has, you are invested in ALL the characters.

[@emerraldx]

Love Rouge One, love Andor, love Diego and love this interview 🥰 and after listening to the passion behind the series development I can now happily wait as long as it takes to make them satisfied for season 2 even if it is hard to be patient 😋

[@A-Tornado]

Congrats on getting Diego Luna in the studio! That is fucking rad. Great interview.

[@630designs]

Congratulations Kristian, happy you were able to get this interview. This was great. Diego Luna seems so cool, I love how he talks.

[@dansilver7467]

Both you and him had the enthusiasm and care for the subject that brought this interview to a higher level.

[@diamondplate]

Rogue One and Andor, best Disney Star Wars offerings.

[@diamondplate]

If you haven't tuned in, don't miss out. Reward yourself, you're worth it.

[@jcianidausch]

Great interview man! So jealous you got to sit down with Diego - he seems like a genuinely good guy.

[@bamm86]

Dude I loved that interview. It was sweet to see how much he really enjoys the detail of the show which is exactly what we all love about it as well. Also, you were fan girling like crazy and I loved it. You’re the real deal, man. I hope this shoots you straight over 70k! This was F’ing EXCITING!

[@helenledwith7016]

He is such a great actor and lovely man. I also loved him in Y Tu Mama Tambien. Wonderful Interview!

[@PaulH7791]

Thanks for coming on Sith Council Diego!! Can't wait for season 2!

[@2685544526855259]

Thank you for this interview, it was actually because I wanted to watch this interview that I started watching Andor, and my god what a TREAT that show is. Andor + Rogue One is some of the best Star Wars we have the privilege of watching.

[@Jack_Stafford]

Well done, KH ! Andor is my favorite Star Wars after Empire and Rogue One. Thank you for this great interview!

[@lespaul5734]

Amazing intervierw! This is the first video I've seen of yours. Instantly subscribed. I can't believe this show has not received the widespread praise (I think) it deserves. Its amazing in every aspect.

[@TheKristianHarloff]

Welcome aboard! Thank you for joining us here!

[@WickedArt5]

I am so very happy that you were able to get him on the show he just sounds so excited about the story and his role in it. Great show one for the ages!

[@jarkkohenriksson7866]

Great interview! So nice that you managed to have Diego in the studio. He and the whole Andor show deserve all the praise they receive.

[@SenatorLeiaOrganaSolo]

I’m so happy for you man. You out your blood sweat and tears into this show and I’m so glad Diego agreed to come on and highlight it. 😮🎉

[@davidsimon5088]

It's nice to hear this show is getting nominated and recognized.

[@dallastexas5653]

Been a fan of Diego and Gael for so long that it’s crazy to me that they are in Star Wars and MCU now.

[@360DegreeOfSepration]

This is incredible. Makes me want to do a binge rewatch of the season right now.

[@brandongarcia8379]

Kristen , I’m not only excited for this interview I’m about to watch but I’m genuinely happy that you got him for your show , like I’m more happy for you that you got him on . Keep up the awesome content . You’re killing it . #HereSinceCollider

[@audreytaylorgarcia2661]

Yeeeeeeeees!!!!!! Absolutely loved this show from beginning to end, Diego eres Grande!!! Fantastic interview!!!!

[@jobrien505]

Damn Kristian... what a guest / show! Thanks so much for such making this happen! 🙌👏

[@FonderTomato13]

amaing interview and thank you Diego. Your passion just oozes in this interview.

[@ericsietsema2044]

That was as cool as I thought it would be, he is so well rounded and humble for his work, his fans, really hope he keeps getting the recognition he deserves. Well done Kristian, you really do make interviews worth watching

[@israelphirii]

So happy for you!! One of the greatest Star Wars fans and content creators out here! Wow! You deserve it!!

[@icemanz188]

Great interview, Kristian!! Thank you for giving us this gem.

[@LeonardoNicolasNiqqo258]

38:26 as a mexican myself, it was nice to see Diego Luna correcting himself with the "Los Angeles" pronunciation. Almost like he still wants to keep his accent, so humble

[@TheKristianHarloff]

He is a really good due, had a blast interviewing him!

[@SpaceJockey805]

Great interview, Kristian, congratulations! Diego seems like such a great guy and is really appreciative of his place in Star Wars legacy, not “just another job” for him. Can’t wait for season 2.

[@barkasz6066]

I loved everything both Diego and Kristian said. Consequences, real human stories and decisions, everything has some meaning and reason to be there. Yes, this is exactly what we need in a good show.

[@zacharyp1089]

Great interview. You can tell how into this character he is. It's awesome... If you clip this out for its own video I would recommend raising his audio or lowering yours. It was noticeably different volumes.

[@jonathanf.9395]

It's always nice to see someone so famous who is so down-to-earth. For those who haven't, see "Y TU MAMÁ TAMBIÉN" It's a wild ride :-)

[@piusdoe8984]

Let's go! Your joy and excitement made it even better

[@LolmileyElvin]

I'm so happy for the show and Kristian, he looks so happy and excited.

[@BenRnrA]

Awesome interview Kristian this was incredible!! Thank you so much for doing it for us. This was amazing he seems like a totally cool guy.

[@theodorehumphreys907]

Enjoyed the interview. Diego Luna is great love him. Loved the Andor show it was awesome! Can't wait for Season 2. keep up great work. Merry Christmas to you and your family!

[@JesusCM16]

That's awesome, I'm happy for you on getting Diego to come to your home for an interview! He's a great actor as well, and seems like a genuine good dude as well.👍

[@jameslevario2254]

So happy to see this interview!! So fucking excited for you and the channel Kristian!!

Wow Kristian! Absolutely amazing that you got Diego to join you. Congratulations! A just reward for your passion and coverage of Star Wars over the years.

[@UFCcommonTater]

Truely an amazing moment for you and the channel Kristian!

[@stan4242]

Diego Luna is also amazing in Narcos: Mexico. Such a talented actor

[@TheKristianHarloff]

Yeah mentioned that to him briefly.

[@Schumacher190]

I'm so happy to see this channel grow! This interview was fantastic. Thanks for doing it and thanks for sharing it with us, Krisitan!

[@BioDoesStuff]

I’m Mexican and, y’all have no idea how happy these comments make me ^~^ It’s so rewarding to see Mexican representation in Star Wars itself, but even better for it to be celebrated THIS MUCH by every single fan 😊 I’m so proud to see him leading what might just be the most important piece of Star Wars content in recent years… Literally can not wait for season 2. One way out ✊

[@jwhittington78]

Great job Kristian! Always great to see actors who care about their craft, are thoughtful about the work, and seem like genuinely good people.

[@beamf]

This is massive! Wow Kristian thank you Sir!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Y muchas gracias to Diego por estar con nosotros aca! Maestro!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@MarcReville]

Great interview Kristian! He’s a great actor and seems like a genuinely nice guy. Thank you for the great show!

[@elishanahir]

Tremendous show. Absolutely terrifying depiction of the empire. The visceral fear and anxiety felt while watching was a new/different Star Wars experience for me and I LOVED it. Diego’s performance was phenomenal and I’m looking forward to the next season. Bravo!!! #Climb #OneWayOut

[@sariarellano5606]

Diego, mi corazón, thank you for doing this despite what you're going through. We love and appreciate all your hard work. Stay strong, hermano, sigue luchando.

[@badideabearcub2747]

[@Psycorde]

What happened?

[@sariarellano5606]

@@Psycorde His dad died last week, right after the announcement of Diego's nomination for the Golden Globe. 😢 He was very renowned here in Mexico, so it was pretty big news.

[@StarWarsGeek_03]

I will be honest when I heard that tony gilroy doesn’t even like Star Wars before the show premiered I got to admit I was very worried about the show, and I thought we were gonna get another joby harold situation like we did with Obi-wan where you can tell just by watching the show that one of the main people working on it, just doesn’t have the skills or love for this and is definitely, at least for me, is bringing something very negative to the show. Although I didn’t hate the obi-wan TV show, I was definitely very disappointed by it. I am happy to admit that Tony Gilroy and everyone else that worked on the show very obviously put a lot of good work love and passion into this project, the main person of course being diego luna. He is very obviously such a good guy and human being, and he is a great actor. I really enjoyed this interview with Diego Luna. You did a very good job. Thanks for this awesome video.

[@markusahlstrom1691]

What a treat this was to watch, really an early Christmas present! 😍 Diego Luna is such a genuine person, great seeing how invested and interested he is in making the show as real and tangible as it can possibly be. The amount of detail and care they have for the story is pretty amazing. I was hoping to hear a bit about season 2 as well but all in good time. What a magical moment to get someone like Diego Luna in studio - congrats and hopefully many more to come in the future!

[@green2378]

Congrats my brother!!! So so excited for you Kristian that you got to interview the great Diego Luna! Wow such a great show today! 🎉🎉🎉

Congratulations DUDE!!!! YOUVE ARRIVED!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@jwiggs82]

What a great great great episode/interview. It’s impossible not to love Diego Luna, bravo Kristian.

[@dropkick79]

I unfortunately don't pay attention to Star Wars as much as I used to do. I just haven't quite gotten what I want out of the franchise I suppose. The exceptions though are Rouge One, my favorite Star Wars film (full stop!) and Andor, my favorite Star Wars series. The connecting thread being Diego Luna, I was very excited to see you land this interview and extremely glad you BOTH enjoyed the discussion. Looking forward to what both of you gentlemen have going on in the future. Excellent work by you and your team Kristian!

[@chaplinsgirl]

Great interview! Diego has been one of my favourite actors for quite a while. It's lovely seeing the two of you having a conversation. This was fun to watch.

[@Hellsing7747]

I got to be honest. I'm one of the rare people that really didn't like "Rogue One", however,I love" Andor "so much ! For me, it's the best Star wars since Empire !
