![]() ![]() “He is strong with the Force,” Luke says. ![]() It appears Luke heard the message loud and clear, and is here to take Grogu and continue his training. And then you’ll recall that in Episode 6, Mando took Grogu to the ancient temple on Tython where Grogu used the Force to send out a signal to any Jedi still living to come and find him. He needed a strong teacher, not one disaffected with the Jedi like Ahsoka. ![]() If you’ll recall, Ahsoka said Grogu needed to be trained by a Jedi, but that there was much fear in him - something that could potentially lead him to the dark side. Once the Empire took over, Grogu forgot most of what he learned so he could survive and wouldn’t stick out as a threat. He’s come for Grogu, following on what we learned in Season 2 Episode 5 from Ahsoka ( Rosario Dawson) - that Grogu was originally being trained by the Jedi before the rise of the Empire. At this point in the Star Wars timeline, we’re after the events of Return of the Jedi but well before Luke’s self-imposed exile ahead of The Force Awakens. Yes indeed, good ol' Jon Favreau (The Mandalorian's creator and executive producer) brought Mark Hamill into The Mandalorian via some digital de-aging and facial replacement technology. With the Troopers gone, Mando opens the doors to reveal… Luke Skywalker! Wielding a green lightsaber, he lays waste to the Dark Troopers like it’s nothing, and Grogu perks up as though he knows this mysterious figure. Just as it looks as though Mando and his crew (and a captive Moff Gideon) are surrounded by robotic and nearly indestructible Dark Troopers, a rogue Jedi shows up in an X-Wing. Flanked by Cara Dune ( Gina Carano), Bo-Katan ( Katee Sackhoff), Koska Reeves ( Sasha Banks), Fennec Shand ( Ming-Na Wen), and even Boba Fett ( Temuera Morrison), Mando strolled right into Moff Gideon’s Imperial Cruiser and blasted through stormtroopers and Dark Troopers alike.īut back to the finale. But this time, finally, Mando called in all the favors he’s done for people over the last two seasons (and folks, he's done so many favors). Titled “The Rescue,” The Mandalorian Season 2 finale focused on Mando ( Pedro Pascal) confronting Moff Gideon ( Giancarlo Esposito) to free his tiny son Grogu from captivity. But with the Star Wars show’s Season 2 finale, the series finally opened up its heart in a sneakily emotional way, sticking a landing that delivered a whopping gut-punch that could still be felt long after the credits rolled. And we knew The Mandalorian could deliver on fan-centric moments featuring iconic characters. We knew The Mandalorian could deliver on the action. ![]()
