At least no one's going to accuse Diego Luna of being a little short for a Stormtrooper.

Luna -- who at 5'10" is only an inch taller than Mark Hamill -- plays Rebel scum Cassian Andor in Rogue One. And as any Star Wars character doing all this sneakin' around knows, the time will come to go incognito.

See Luna talk about his journey to Rogue One -- as well as more than a few behind-the-scenes shots -- in this featurette shared exclusively with Mashable.

And as far as new footage goes, watch carefully for that moment when Cassian casually strolls through an Imperial stronghold wearing an officer's uniform:

It isn't quite the first time we've seen Luna in the cavalry-style twill wool jacket and cap worn by ranking officers of the Empire. That came the last round of trailers, as we see airlock doors closing on Cassian, Jyn and K-2SO (a former Imperial security droid that Cassian reprogrammed to help the Rebel Alliance).

But that was only a glimpse ...

Whereas this latest featurette gives us a longer look at Cassian walking through the bowels of what must surely be the Death Star, his trusty droid -- who needs no disguise, obviously -- in tow.

That droid, by the way, is played (voice and mo-cap) by Alan Tudyk -- who also makes a pretty priceless cameo here.

How's life on the Rogue One set treating you, Alan?

The Captain says it looks like life is good.
