Wow. Just wow.
Those of you disappointed by Luke Skywalker's portrayal in Star Wars: The Last Jedi were probably feeling much happier about the Jedi Knight after watching today's season two finale of The Mandalorian. Returning to our screens after Grogu reached out to him through the Force in "The Tragedy," he made short work of Moff Gideon's Dark Trooper's in a scene reminiscent of the Darth Vader attack in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
We'll get into more details later, but Grogu left with Luke, and...well, we're hoping and praying The Child wasn't among those killed when Ben Solo turned to the Dark Side and became Kylo Ren.
There's clearly plans in place here, but we'll have to wait and see what they end up being.
The visual effects used to de-age Mark Hamill are likely to draw something of a mixed response (it was a little better than what we saw in Rogue One), but regardless, it was downright incredible to see him back in action. This is a moment fans are likely going to be talking about for a long time to come, and if nothing else, Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni just redeemed the post-Return of the Jedi Luke Skywalker in a major, insanely cool way.
