Last Friday evening in LA, Adria Arjona, Tony Gilroy, Diego Luna, Ben Mendelsohn and Genevieve O’Reilly took part in the PaleyLive finale celebration for Andor, with the cast sharing their favourite moments from the second season of the Disney+ series.
Gilroy shared his favorite scene from the series — and the one he was most disappointed not to have included: “Eedy coming for lunch, coming over to Dedre’s apartment. I could write Eedy all day. I was so disappointed I couldn’t get Eedy going to Luthen’s gallery. I was like, ‘Oh, my God, that’s a half-hour scene.’ I really wish I could have written that.”
Luna, who plays series hero Cassian Andor, shared his favorite scene, which came at a decidedly more dramatic moment in the story.
“The whole Ghorman massacre was so intense, deep and emotional,” he told THR. “It was definitely something I’m not going to forget. There were shots where everything was happening at the same time. There were moments when there were multiple cameras and we were executing the whole thing with all the extras, stunts, the effects and fires and detonations and fights. It looked incredible.”
One of the series’ most talked-about moments was a stirring speech condemning fascism delivered by Senator and future rebel leader Mon Mothma, played by O’Reilly. She shared with THR how she was able to deliver such a powerful performance.
“Initially, we would film it in sections, and [Gilroy] said to me, ‘You want to do the whole speech, don’t you?’ And I said, ‘Yes, I do. ’ I want to feel, I want to have to stand up and give that speech many times so I could feel it as an actor,” O’Reilly said. “I would have to carve the nuance of when she was focused, when she was distracted, when she was fearful, so that you could fill a speech with that. I think this whole piece is an examination of courage, the courage of ordinary folk. But she doesn’t quite know it’s courageous in the moment. It’s full of self-doubt and fear. I could find her courage within the words and within her voice.”
