Adria Arjona Proves She’s the Galaxy’s Biggest ‘Andor’ Fan By Ranking Top 5 Star Wars Characters

Few actors arrive in a beloved franchise already carrying the weight of lifelong fandom, but Adria Arjona is not like most actors. She is best known for playing Bix Caleen in the Disney+ series ‘Andor’, the acclaimed ‘Star Wars’ prequel that traces the origins of the Rebellion alongside Diego Luna’s Cassian Andor. Her journey to that role was anything but straightforward, and the passion she brings to the franchise clearly goes far beyond the script.

Arjona has spoken openly about what landing the role of Bix meant to her, noting that she had previously lost out on another high-profile ‘Star Wars’ part. Describing that earlier rejection, she said it “really crushed me, because all I wanted was to be part of Star Wars and to be a Latin American woman in Star Wars.” That love for the franchise runs deep enough that when she finally made it to that galaxy far, far away, she came in with strong opinions about who the best characters are.

In a post circulating on social media, Arjona was shown ranking classic ‘Star Wars’ characters, and her answers were both charming and a little unexpected. When asked about her favorite ‘Star Wars’ character, Arjona has said that fans tend to expect a predictable answer.

Arjona’s co-star Diego Luna has also weighed in on his own ‘Star Wars’ preferences. In an interview with CBR, Luna said that Darth Vader had followed him since childhood, noting his curiosity about what lay “behind the mask.” Luna also mentioned Han Solo, citing the character’s Western-flavored appeal. Between the two leads, the ‘Andor’ cast has managed to charm the entire fandom with their genuine investment in the mythology surrounding the show.

That investment is perhaps clearest in Arjona’s decision to get a stick-and-poke tattoo representing Bix Caleen on her forearm on the last day of production on the series. For someone who describes the experience of working on ‘Andor’ as transformative, ranking Chewbacca above galactic royalty feels entirely on-brand. Arjona has described joining ‘Andor’ as a dream fulfilled, saying she has had “so many beautiful interactions, especially with Latin women who love Star Wars that just come up to me and hug me.”

‘Andor’ has received significant awards recognition, earning Emmy nominations including one for Outstanding Drama Series at the 2025 ceremony. With the show now complete and Bix Caleen’s arc fully resolved, Arjona’s ranking moment feels like a fond farewell from a true believer in the franchise. Whether Chewie would return the compliment by voting for Bix in his own tier list remains, tragically, unknown.

Let us know in the comments who your all-time favorite ‘Star Wars’ character is, and whether you agree with Arjona’s choice to put Chewbacca at the top.
