'Andor': Tony Gilroy Explains Why Cassian and His Friends Don't Know About Jedi and Lightsabers [Exclusive]

Tony Gilroy explains why Cassian Andor and his friends on Ferrix don't know about the Jedi or lightsabers.

For most of it's run, The Mandalorian avoided dabbling in lightsabers and Jedi, even with the revelation that Grogu was a Force user that survived Order 66. But Season 2 changed everything when it brought Ahsoka Tano and Luke Skywalker into the plot, which even changed the trajectory of The Book of Boba Fett.

COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY In the lead-up to the Season 1 finale, Collider's own Steve Weintraub caught up with Tony Gilroy to discuss the series, and one of his biggest questions was about whether or not Cassian and the folks on Ferrix are aware of the Jedi and their lightsabers.

"I don't think they know about the royal family. I don't think they pay much mind to that. I mean, how many beings are in that gigantic galaxy? I think the vast majority of all of the creatures and beings and sentient things that are in the galaxy, I think the knowledge of the Jedi and the lightsaber is a pretty small number.
