Andor seems to be keeping its distance from Jedi, Sith, and Skywalkers. Here's why that's a good thing.
Editor's note: The below contains spoilers for Episode 1-4 of Andor.Disney+'s Andor is just four episodes in, and it has already distinguished itself within the Star Wars universe. The show is not afraid to include adult themes, conflicts, and action sequences. Episode 3 even debuted Star Wars' first use of an Earthly swear word. Perhaps one of the most notable ways that Andor has set itself apart so far is in its use of mostly original characters.
So far, every piece of canonized Star Wars content has included at least one Jedi or Sith. The Mandalorian didn't even get through its first season before revealing Grogu as a Jedi, and then proceeded to reintroduce Luke Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano in Season 2—and then Disney brought that same trio back together in The Book of Boba Fett.
Moreover, fans know that Cassian will eventually have a very tangential form of encounter with Darth Vader in Rogue One. Even in that film, though, the two never come face-to-face. Still, it's close enough to see a vague connection between the two, and it's certainly close enough to note that any further link between Cassian and the Skywalker clan would feel both gratuitous and hard to believe.
