Luna also relishes getting a chance to complete the full arc of the story with characters first introduced in the film back in 2016. “You're going to see why K-2 is so important in Rogue One,” Luna teases, “and how does he get to be such an important character for the Rebellion.”

Not only that, but the actor says that the final season of Andor will permanently change how people view the movie moving forward. “I think people watching Rogue One, after watching season 2, are going to see a different film. Everything will be signified differently knowing what had to happen for K-2 to be there. It's going to make you witness the journey of Rogue One in a different way, I think. And not just with K-2, but with many other characters. I think it'll be really cool.”

It's actually really good and the true story is even wilder than the movie:

Two books on it:

Here's where it gets wild... The missions covered in the film, in real life, had zero casualties. Obviously Guy Ritchie/Jerry Bruckheimer wouldn't let that stand. :)

The other wild part... one of the British staff people involved in organizing all this was Ian Fleming.

Yes... THAT Ian Fleming!
