More notes from Starfury – this time the Diego Luna and Elizabeth Dulau panel.

Dedra & Kleya parallels; Cassian as Han’s drunk friend; Jyn Erso spinoff: more highlights from Starfury Invasion - Diego Luna and Elizabeth Dulau panel

Reddit - The heart of the internet

1. The most emotionally difficult scene to film? For Elizabeth: the hospital scene with Luthen. She did little preparation as she wanted the emotional impact to be real for her so walked into the room and let her instincts carry her. Diego said that while Cassian has so many losses, the loss of Maarva was very painful to have to go through, especially with the music and for him to have to witness it from afar and not be able to participate.

2. Diego was asked about a Jyn Erso series or movie with Felicity Jones - “Yes, that would be very cool!” … “obviously I would say yes because I’m ‘audience’ first… I’m a fan.” He added that there are amazing stories that are possible about the characters in Rogue One because it is more about an event and we don’t know much about the people behind it. But he indicated that Jyn is the character who we do have a fair bit of information about already in the film thanks to the flashback scenes to her family.

3. Elizabeth’s favourite costume was the blue velvet dress Kleya wore to the party in 2.06. ‘Chic and dangerous’ - like Kleya herself. It “had a little tail” but didn’t get much airtime. Diego mentioned how obsessed he is with costuming, adding that his mother was a costume designer and how each costume tells a story, even when the narrative doesn’t have the time. The Narkina 5 outfits he compared with “white envelopes” that you have to put yourself in and immediately become just a number. But he narrowed down on Cassian’s jackets because they helped keep him warm because shooting in the UK is ‘freezing’ and they were ‘a good ally’. He expressed yet more venom re “freezing and raining” Blackpool and admiration for the extras wearing shorts. Re. the ending of episode 11: “It’s a very silent scene… because I couldn’t open my mouth’ because he was just so cold.

4. They were asked about what their characters would be doing in a different timeline (as per the Lego series). Elizabeth said this would be tricky as Kleya absolutely lives for and embodies the rebellion - that even she wouldn’t know what she could be without it after being raised by Luthen to embrace it. She did suggest that she would still have a no-nonsense attitude and be ‘bossing people around’, whatever she might be doing. Diego imagined Cassian as Han’s permanently drunk friend who lives in the bar because “it’s too cold outside” (bit of a theme emerging!)

5. They were asked if they had stolen something from the set. No! Elizabeth constantly asked for tiny things but was refused - but she was tempted with Kleya’s earrings. She praised the detail on set, eg. things in drawers, that were just there for their immersion as actors and would never be seen on screen. Diego emphasised that you do not steal from set as “I really wanted to be welcomed back” and after a little hesitation told of a friend who “broke the rules in casting” for Rogue One and was found out and not cast at all. So he now takes the rules about security very seriously. But did retell the story about being given the Bryar pistol prop and being stopped at the airport. It genuinely kicks back, lights, turns and is heavy. Rule from the start of s1: “make sure it feels real” and the props team did a fantastic job.

6. The young boy Cassian’s question re the effect of the ending (I did a separate post about that) being Bix and the baby.

7. Favourite SW characters from when they were children and would they put them into Andor if they could? - Elizabeth is fascinated by Anakin and his journey but is glad that they steered clear of showing him though. Diego ‘grew up having nightmares with Darth Vader’ and spoke about the reveal at the end of Rogue One. But he loved working with ‘regular people’ characters for the show so no, he would not have liked Vader to be in it.

8. Diego was asked about when he was cast in Rogue One and his reaction to the ending. He told the story of the long 4-5 months of getting cast from the first meeting with Gareth Edwards through to the final confirmation. He was shooting somewhere in Europe, got very drunk that night, looked “very pleased” the next morning and had lots of fun making up stories about why (family friendly audience here but in other interviews he’s gleefully talked about saying things like “I got laid last night!”) His father, however, was unimpressed with the news (just saying “Okay…?!”) because as far as he was concerned ‘if you’re not doing theatre you’re wasting your time”. Re the ending - there were lots of rumours about that changing and the ending reshooting but when he was cast he knew that would be it (ie that everyone dies).

9. Elizabeth also talked about being told she’d been cast (her first job!) and apparently told her friends/family “It’s part of a franchise you’ve definitely heard of but I can’t tell you what it is”. She had had a couple of auditions but they were still wavering about her and her agent said - ‘They need to know you can walk onto that set and be OK and able to handle the pressure… so walk into your next audition like you are the dog’s bollocks” (this is a very British expression - “the best there is”). And she was then told it would be at Pinewood - and with Stellan Skarsgård. Lots of praise for him for meeting her first for a coffee and putting her at her ease ‘because he has that magic’. She only found out about Kleya’s precise backstory just a month before s1 came out - had a conversation with TG when he went over it all. Elizabeth thinks that there’s a ‘beauty and love to their story but also something horrifying and dark’ so she loved all the contradictions.

10. What resonated with them in the scripts? Elizabeth - this is unlike anything she had read and apparently TG mentioned Kleya’s eyes at about 15 different points throughout the s1 scripts. The dialogue itself is “brilliantly sparse” - every word has to be there so you have to work hard (which is also a gift for an actor) because your ‘internal life’ has to be so clear. Diego agreed and added that TG’s first ally is the production designer - it’s so much easier as an actor to envision a scene on the page if everything has been worked through first - even something as simple as where a character is in a room and which door they would use (because they are closest to it) So he writes for a specific space and you don’t have to interpret that when acting or blocking the scene. Normally he would need to invent a backstory but on Andor it was all worked already and it’s wonderful that “there’s a logic” to the scenes. (I think this is what Tony Gilroy meant by the scripts being ‘director and actor proof’)

11. Elizabeth was asked about the parallels between Dedra and Kleya - said she didn’t pick up this when filming but did when watching the show (had seen others pick up on the found family link between Cassian and Kleya too). Dedra is the way she is because of her particular upbringing but added that she believed people in her situation can also find their own path ‘so maybe there is scope for Dedra’. Diego laughed at this and pointed out Denise’s very different attitude at the previous panel: “Elizabeth wants to give hope to people but Denise is like “NO”!” :)

(I’ve still got some notes from Denise, Kyle and Robert (Emms) panel and Fan-meet to come. )
