For Cassian Andor , fighting for the Rebellion is a means of life . It is “ the only choice , ” player Diego Luna distinguish io9 at the Rogue One : A Star Wars Story press upshot this weekend . As the fiber becomes wrapped up in the missionary post to steal the Death Star plans , he becomes even more attached to the cause . “ The hope for freedom in the wandflower — it ’s everything for him . He ’s been fighting for the Rebellion all his life , and he does n’t have anything else . ”
When Jyn Erso suddenly figure the picture , he ’s not thrilled , but “ he ’ll do whatever is need for the Rebellion to deliver the goods , even crop with someone who he does n’t honor because she does n’t seem to have that conviction . I think , see it from the outside , his real care is that she ’s quite similar to him . They have a good deal in common — more than he want to have . ”
In the Rogue One footage evince to the press , there ’s a scene in which Cassian seduce a split - second determination that is shocking in the moment : he kills a man in self-control of extremely valuable information who understandably wo n’t be capable to get away the situation he ’s in . “ He ’s saving him , ” Luna explains . “ If they fascinate him , it ’s not just a problem because of all the information he has , but it will be pathetic for him , the way they would pull up that info . [ Cassian ] is an intelligence military officer . He sees all the alternative and pick out to discharge him , in a way . And we ’re talk about state of war — no one wants to be in a war . Cassian would love this to stop . But also , he ’s willing to go as far as needed for freedom to come . ”
To get into the mind-set of a someone equal to of nervelessly make wrick decision without a here and now ’s hesitation , Luna watched a lot of war movies — Apocalypse Now is once that he cited specifically — and huddle up with former members of the armed forces in London for hebdomad prior to cinematography . Luna pronounce they instruct him a great deal :
[ I learned ] very technical hooey , like how do you move , how do you patrol , what are the rules to work as a squad , and what is expected of the captain , and how to speak to your guys . But the most important part was to hear their experience . What conk out through your idea when you ’re in the middle of nowhere fighting against an enemy that think as much [ in their cause ] as you conceive in your cause . It was interesting to hear what keeps you sane , and what happens when they charm you , and what happens when you catch someone .
It was helpful , not just for the film , but also to understand the creation we live in . It was interesting to listen to them and discover the mankind in these reference . I wanted to impersonate a real lineament . Gareth [ Edwards ] kept stress , yes , we ’re in a Galax urceolata far by , but it has to feel very airless to us . It has to be very realistic . The journeying , we have to last it with a proximity that is almost uncomfortable , with a caboodle of intimate second . The film balance between these amazing epic stuff that Star Wars always has , and moment that are very like , you ’re sneaking into the lives of these hoi polloi and you ’re breathe the air that they ’re rest .
It ’s good to assume that some of Cassian ’s quieter moments are share with Alan Tudyk ’s K-2SO , the Imperial droid who the sea captain has reprogrammed , and is now his best friend . Just catch Luna and Tudyk interact at the insistence league ( lots of good - natured tantalization fly back and forth ) , you may tell that the friendly relationship has preserve off - screen .
Luna says their interpersonal chemistry was quick :
His humor is so sharp and sarcastic . It ’s just so much fun . Because there was so much pressure sometimes , it was expectant to be capable to slack a fiddling routine and laugh , and prompt ourselves how lucky we were . Alan was great at that , and he ’s just a very generous person . He understand the braggart departure between think this is a race you ’re doing by yourself , or how much this occupation depends on your partners . It ’s about the ping - pong you could play , you know ?
Luna matter himself lucky to have been a part of a cast with not just Tudyk , but also Felicity Jones , who plays Jyn Erso . “ I always say Alan and Felicity , because that ’s how everything start . It was the three of us ill-use into this mammoth universe of discourse . ” While the experience was often consuming , Luna counts them all as “ the lucky worker ever , ” however .
“ [ Now ] the enquiry here is , are [ audiences ] gon na care it ? ” Luna asks , noting that he ca n’t waitress to hear what citizenry have to say about the film . “ Normally , in my calling , it ’s the other direction around . It ’s always , how do we get masses to bribe a ticket for this ? Well , that does n’t apply here . That makes me sense very fortunate . ”
