THE MANDALORIAN Enlisted Some A-List Celebrities For Distracting Cameos In Latest Episode - SPOILERS

The Mandalorian is a series that's often delivered its fair share of surprise cameos, but yesterday's effort was pretty much non-stop!

In a cold opening, we caught up with a couple of familiar Mandalorians as they pursued a Quarren Captain and Mon Calamari Nobleman who had decided to elope. The former was played by Christine Adams, a British actress many of you will know best for her roles as Agent Anne Weaver in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Dr Lynn Stewart/Lynn Pierce in Black Lightning

As for that Nobleman, if that voice sounded a little familiar, it's probably because he was brought to life by Harry Holland, the brother of Spider-Man actor Tom Holland! 

Here's where we get to the A-List, though. On a planet called Plazir-15, we meet its rulers...The Super Mario Bros. Movie star Jack Black (Captain Bombardier) and Grammy winner Lizzo (The Duchess).

Both are pretty hilarious in their respective roles, though we've done some digging, and neither character appears to have any sort of connection to those already established elsewhere in Star Wars canon. 

Prior to The Mandalorian's season 3 launch, there were rumblings we might see Back to the Future icon Christopher Lloyd make an appearance and he does as the villainous Commissioner Hellgate. 

There are also a few other noteworthy names scattered throughout "Guns For Hire" - which was directed by Bryce Dallas Howard - including comedian Jen Kober.

Overall, this was another solid instalment of The Mandalorian, albeit one that didn't move the story along quite as much as some will have been hoping. It did, however, feature a fun mystery, a huge status quo change for the Darksaber, and these massive cameo appearances!

Gotta say this season definitely feels like less direction than last season. Which also felt like a story of the week directionless season until the last two episodes. I guess Favreau saying they have no larger plan for the series is becoming evident, but I don’t know if that’s the best idea for this show. Maybe it will turn out to be, but it’s starting to feel a bit aimless.

@SpideyPuffsMJ - Well gotta say I wasn't compelled to start watching it in the 1st place, so this sounds like a confirmation on my hunch.

Unfortunately as much as I loved SW as a kid, it's pretty much creatively bankrupt to me. So sad.

@SpideyPuffsMJ - Yeah its becoming like The Walking Dead....what's the point of watching anymore?

TWD was originally planned as 5 seasons, then they stretched it to 9 seasons and multiple spin offs....sounds like Mandalorian is following in their foot steps.

A list?

The only thing the celebrity cameos succeeded in doing was taking me out of the show a bit.

I didn't mind Jack Black because he wasn't being Jack Black.
Christopher Lloyd is just classic and didn't bother me because he blended into the part as he usually does.

Fat Lizzo on the other hand......the woman can't act.

@TyrantBossMedia - It was as bad as Ed Sheeran in Game of Thrones. If you are going to do a cameo, make sure it’s at least an actor.

@TyrantBossMedia - Oh boy, this is a take from your racist ass that NOBODY saw coming.

@mountainman - Hell, I didn't even know Ed Sheeran was in Game of Thrones. I probably blanked that out.

It took me out of the episode every time they showed up. Everyone except Lloyd

At first I thought The Duchess was Durin’s queen from Rings of Power

I hated the cameos. If the episode wasn't stupid enough these would have ruined it for me. Just takes me straight out of the story, and I love Jack and Christopher. Fat Lizzo not so much.

@MarvelousMarty -


Lizzo is a great writer and artist💁




What does her being overweight have anything to do with it?



My god😑

@AmazingFILMporg - It's not the "fat" part that really upsets them.

The cameos were cringe and further demonstrates the fact that star wars is on life support.💁
