Diego Luna confesses he stole a prop from the set of Andor has been described by Disney+ as a "spy thriller," with episodes written by a team that includes showrunner Tony Gilroy, Nightcrawler's Dan Gilroy, and The Americans' Stephen Schiff. Andor will also see the return of actors Genevieve O'Reilly as Mon Mothma and Forest Whitaker as Saw Gerrera, co-starring alongside Stellan Skarsgård, Adria Arjona, and Denise Gough, among other new faces in the Star Wars universe.
Many cast and crew recently attended Star Wars Celebration in Anaheim, where Disney+ and Lucasfilm dropped a slew of announcements regarding the franchise's future. The event revealed more details for Andor, whose first two of 12 episodes will hit Disney+ in August. A second and final season for the show is also in development, all building up to the plot of Rogue One.
But Luna shared an additional detail that may or may not have been an intentional reveal. Answering media questions with O'Reilly, Luna itted he stole a prop from the Star Wars set — namely, a few credits following a sneaky deal he made with the prop master. Luna said he "promised never to tell that story" and hopes the prop master "keeps his job after what I said." Check out the video below.
Luna's comments, while hilarious, speak to the level of security surrounding Star Wars films and TV shows. Even actors can't take home their props without special clearance, likely to avoid the risk of items falling into the wrong hands or greedy eBay auctioneers. Luna's ability to sway the prop master into letting him keep a few credits seems in character for Cassian Andor. Considering the video was posted to the official Disney+ Instagram , Lucasfilm and Disney were most likely fine with the innocuous confession.
If anything, it's great to see Luna and O'Reilly sharing jokes and getting along off-set. They seem to have a solid dynamic, which hopefully translates well between their respective characters on the show. Star Wars fans will have much to look forward to when Cassian Andor and Mon Mothma return in Andor. The first two episodes are set to premiere on Disney+ on August 31.
