According to The Hollywood Reporter, Tony Gilroy (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story) creator of Disney+’s Andor, explained why certain characters were absent during the second season of the series. During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter about the last three episodes of the season and he was asked why the character of Kino Loy played by Andi Serkis and Cassian Andor’s played by Diego Luna, missing sister Kerri never showed up.

The Hollywood Reporter quotes Gilroy, “Andy dropped the mic, man,” Gilroy explained. “What am I going to do that’s going to be better than what we did? All it does is minimize that moment. I knew a lot of people were talking about whether we had a way of [bringing him back]. But I didn’t want to have that sort of coincidental environment.”

As per The Hollywood Reporter, the moment Gilroy alludes to when Loy says to Cassian, “I can’t swim,” after escaping the floating island prison and being swarmed by other prisoners, which causes them to go underwater and making their fate unknown.

The Hollywood Reporter quotes Gilroy, “Kino Loy is like the sister — people wanted to know if we’re going to resolve the sister,” Gilroy continued. “And the sister, in the beginning, is so much more interesting to me as a deficit. She’s much more valuable to me for Cassian as an absence. As he says in the end, ‘Maybe I should stop saving people.’ His need to return and save people and to be a savior and the compulsion to do that comes from this hole in his life, and I didn’t really didn’t want to fill that in.”
