Who had a bigger impact on Cassian Andor’s life, Jyn Urso or Luthen Rael? Star Wars actor Diego Luna gives his take

Star Wars: Andor actor Diego Luna says Luthen Rael and Jyn Urso both occupy a special place in Cassian’s heart

Cassian Andor has one of the most interesting character journeys in the Star Wars saga. We first meet him as a freedom fighter who isn’t afraid to make hard choices in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. We learn more about his background and what drove him to join the Rebellion in the Disney+ series Andor. Many people influenced Cassian’s journey, such as Luthen Rael, who helped push him towards the Rebellion, and Jyn Urso, who inspired him to make his final sacrifice.

But who has a bigger hold on Cassian’s heart?

“Come on, why would you say that,” Cassian Andor actor Diego Luna teased the audience after being asked the question during a spotlight panel at MegaCon 2026. “I mean, listen, there’s room for both in his heart. I mean, they belong to different times of Cassian’s life and journey. And they truly occupy very different spots.”

Luna admits that he can’t answer the question, because either answer would be a disservice to the other person. “Basically, I don’t want to answer. I don’t want to betray any of them. They’re both probably two of the five most important people in Cassian’s life.”

Now we just have to figure out who the other three people are. If you want some help doing so, Andor is available in full on Disney+ right now.
