The character met a grisly fate at the end of the 2016 film.

However, Luna reprised the role for a 2022 Disney+ series called “Andor.”

Showrunner Tony Gilroy previously announced there will be only two seasons.

Luna called the two seasons “really important for my mental health.”

“But knowing this is the end, I want to enjoy it and get the best out of this experience,” he added.

He said it was important for the prequel to build up to his sacrifice in “Rogue One.”

“For me, this has always been a story where the people bringing change,” Luna said.
