The internet is going nuts after the long-awaited trailer for The Mandalorian Season 3 leaked on social media, nearly two months after it was unveiled at the 2022 edition of the Star Wars Celebration in Anaheim. The leaked footage which is already making its rounds across all platforms features the apparent return of a character that made its first appearance in Disney's sequel trilogy.
The action-packed trailer reveals that Babu Frik, who was officially introduced in 2019's The Rise of Skywalker is actually part of Season 3 and it's causing quite the debacle on social media. A scene from the leaked trailer sees the Anzellan creature fix a droid who looks to be IG-11.
It's worth noting that Frik was heavily rumored to be appearing in the MandoVerse but that didn't stop fans from expressing their astonishment. Shockingly enough, the reaction range from excitement all the way to disappointment. Check out some of the tweets below:

It was recently reported that Taika Waititi will return in Season 3 as IG-11 so it makes a lot of sense for Babu Frik to become included in the show. After all, Frik was responsible for fixing a malfunctioning C-3PO in The Rise of Skywalker. The real question is, apart from his usual work as droidsmith, what vital role will Babu Frik play come Season 3?
I guess we'll just have to wait and see but for now, it's already safe to assume that Babu Frik and Grogu will be the best of pals.
The Mandalorian's third season is expected to premiere in February 2023 on Disney+.
