Andor season 2 cast: All the stars in second and final season of Star Wars spin-off

Speaking about how he believes season 2 makes a political statement, Luna previously told Vanity Fair: "Right now the world is defined by a struggle for power, and this series talks about exactly that."

He added: "This series would have been important 10 years ago and will be important 10 years from now, because it is a reflection on how communities can take control and fight for their destiny. It reflects on the responsibilities of being a citizen, which have long existed, are important now, and will continue to be in the future."

Luna isn't the only returning face in the new instalment, with Stellan Skarsgård also back as Luthen Rael, Adria Arjona back as Bix Caleen and Genevieve O'Reilly back as the legendary Mon Mothma.
