That’s where we started.”

“B2 is a fantastic friend,” Luna adds with a laugh.
“It’s like the perfect droid.
I have to say, it’s a fantastic piece of design, first of all.
The team behind it is amazing.
He’s so expressive.
With very little, he gives you so much.”
“It was wonderful to work with him because he’s real,” Luna says.
There’s nothing he couldn’t do that he will do in the series.
It’s all mechanical."
But he filmed those scenes with Tudyk, who performed on set and was later digitally replaced.
Here, Luna actually got to act opposite B2 in his final form.
“It was weird, to be honest, the first few days,” Luna admits.
“I was like, ‘Holy s—!’
Before, inRogue Onewith K2, I was in front of a great actor.
That’s another thing that is not easy.
The team making him move and talk is just the best of the best.”
Andorlaunches on Disney+ on Sept. 21.
