LOS ANGELES — Diego Luna was ready to be done with "Star Wars" and his character, Cassian Andor, after "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story."
Understandable, since Cassian does not survive the events of the 2016 film. But "Andor," the Disney+ prequel series to the "Star Wars" prequel film, won over audiences, including members of the Television Academy, with its revelatory first season. On Wednesday, "Andor" earned eight Emmy nominations, including a coveted nod for drama series alongside "Succession," "Better Call Saul," "The Crown," "House of the Dragon," "The Last of Us," "The White Lotus" and "Yellowjackets."
For Luna, both the star and an executive producer on the series, the entire journey has been a surprise.
