It can't be denied that The Mandalorian boasts a diverse collection of characters and arguably some of the best original characters the Star Wars franchise has created in recent memory. The last two seasons have seen folks come and go and also introduced us to new faces and the upcoming third season will be no different.
While Season 3 promises to focus on the epic clash between Din Djarin and Bo-Katan Kryze, it looks like Lucasfilm will be introducing new characters to the fold. Speaking of, one actor who previously starred in another MandoVerse show seems to be making their return for Season 3, only this time, they're reportedly taking on a different character.
According to a new IMDB listing, (via Star Wars Meg) actress Christine Galey who played R2-D2 in The Book of Boba Fett will return in The Mandalorian as a different character. The actress is currently listed as an "Astronaut Creature" but the YouTube channel notes that should Luke Skywalker show up in Season 3, chances are Galey will pull double duty and also reprise her role as the iconic droid.

Of course, IMDB listings can easily be edited by anyone so it's still best to take everything posted on the site with a Death Star-sized grain of salt. Meanwhile, Lucasfilm seems to be fast-tracking the show's Season 3 follow-up and according to the latest reports, Season 4 will begin production early next year, potentially before the third season even makes it premiere.
The Mandalorian Season 3 will reportedly hit Disney+ on February 22, 2023.
