Welcome to Season 2 of the Star Wars Re-Watch Podcast! Does that make sense? No, it doesn't. The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett would technically be Seasons 1 & 2 of this podcast if we re-watched them based on air date. We didn't do it that way, though. We're trying to catch the wave of that algorithm, and you can't do that with shows that aired a few years ago. Just kidding—we'll re-watch those eventually, just not sure when. I'm looking forward to it. After Obi-Wan and Andor, I'm sure I'll see Mandalorian and Boba Fett in a different light since there would be four shows to compare them to.
Today, we watched Episode 1 of Andor. I wasn't expecting this show! I love Diego Luna as an actor. Seeing him alongside Will Ferrell in La Casa de mi Padre was great. It was also hilarious seeing him on screen with another famous Mexican star, Gael Garcia Bernal, in Amores Perros. The two also starred in Y tu Mamá También, a great coming-of-age tale where Diego Luna's performance steals the show.
However, I don't think anyone was saying that about his performance in Rogue One. I think most people agreed the best performance went to K-2SO, portrayed by Alan Tudyk. We couldn't even see his face, but his lines and motion capture were so much more emotive than the live-action actors whose faces were on screen the entire time. Maybe Diego Luna's acting skills don't translate from Spanish to English all that well. I hope that's not the problem. Regardless, please join myself, AJ, and our special guests, Kelsey (AJ's wife) and Sydney, as we watch Episode 1 of Andor, "Kassa."
