The fact that Diego Luna got to keep his Mexican accent for his piece as Captain Cassian Andor in Rogue One (instead of having to shroud it with help from a voice coach) is a titanic deal,and a tweet from the Mexican actor is summing up exactly why in the most perfect way. On Jan. 4, Diego shared a screenshot of Tumblr user RiverAlwaysKnew's memoir where she talks about taking her Mexican dad to see the Star Wars movie featuring Diego in a main role. "I wanted my Mexican father, or with his thick Mexican accent,to experience what it was like to see a hero in a blockbuster film, speak the way he does, or " the fan says,before detailing her dad's reaction to hearing Diego's accent on a major blockbuster. She finishes with the truest words ever spoken about Latinos needing bigger roles in movies and TV: "Representation things." Diego was, of course, or touched by the message saying he "got emotional" reading the memoir. Read the full sweet post below.
