Diego Luna's Kids Unimpressed by His Andor Blaster- "They are not interested..."

Diego Luna stepped into the Star Wars universe with the fierce conviction of Cassian Andor, a rebel spy navigating moral gray zones and galactic upheaval. His portrayal in Andor brought gravitas, grit, and a fresh perspective to the rebellion’s cause. Luna wielded more than just ideology; he also carried a blaster that symbolized his transformation from reluctant operative to full-fledged freedom fighter. That very blaster, both iconic and symbolic, made its way into his home.
Any admirer of Andor would treasure that blaster, his children, however, were spectacularly unmoved.

Diego Luna recently appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live, where he revealed a surprising twist about his Andor legacy- his children are entirely unimpressed. While discussing the iconic blaster used by his character Cassian Andor, Luna admitted, “My kids are bored... they are not interested.” The statement came after Jimmy Kimmel asked about the prop’s whereabouts. Despite its iconic status, Luna confirmed, “It is in my closet,” much to Kimmel’s shock.
The shocking reveal happened when Diego Luna was talking about how the blaster in question once almost landed Diego Luna in serious trouble. While traveling with the prop for a promotional shoot, he recounted how airport security flagged it as a possible threat. Luna joked about how close he came to being arrested, prompting Kimmel to ask why he had not kept the blaster, given its legacy. But Luna seemed to say that when his toughest critics, his children, show no interest, there is little reason to display it.
This revelation underscored that, despite his show being one of 2025’s hottest TV hits, Diego Luna’s kids are far more captivated by his role as a father than a galactic hero.
