Just a few hours before the premiere of the highly anticipated Star Wars: Rogue One movie, the Latino community has expressed a special excitement about attending the premiere of the film, which features Mexican actor Diego Luna.
Fans around the world have high expectations of Rogue One, set in the events between Star Wars Episodes III and IV, with a top notch cast, with actors like Felicity Jones, Mads Mikkelsen, Forest Whitaker, Alan Tudyk, Donnie Yen, and renowned Mexican actor Diego Luna, who after a long career at the national level in Mexico and some Hollywood movies, has recently been excited and proud to participate in such an important film. He’s been a fan of the saga from a very young age.
The return of Darth Vader, new stormtrooper designs, especially the first appearance of Death Trooper, which is based on a reenactment of the shadow troopers, are just some elements of discussion between the greater fanatics of the saga, which in 1977 changed not only the history of cinema, but also the lives of many generations faithful to Star Wars.
Diego Luna has given several interviews where he hasn’t been shy about expressing his excessive emotion in regards to being part of the film.
“A Mexican in Star Wars, what else does it take to be happy,” the actor exclaimed after being questioned about Rogue One, which despite not being written or directed by George Lucas, has his full approval.

Having grown up in a family of artists, the son of award-winning Mexican stage designer Alejandro Luna and costume designer Fiona Alexander, Diego has embarked on his own path as an actor, theater producer, and filmmaker.
