Warning: If you haven't seen the final episode of The Mandalorian Season 2 yet, this news contains major spoilers so read at your own risk!
The day we've all been waiting for has finally arrived, Star Wars fans! After eight fantastic episodes, The Mandalorian Season 2 finally saw its epic conclusion, and Peyton Reed's debut entry fired on all cylinders! Titled "The Rescue", Chapter 16 was once again home to several awesome moments, and it finally shed some light on the question we've all been dying to get answered since the last few chapters — which Jedi will answer Baby Yoda's Tython call?
During the tension-filled final act of the episode where Mando and his newly-formed rescue team consisting of Cara Dune, Bo-Katan, Kosta Reeves, and Fennec Shand were awaiting the attack of the dark trooper platoon, a mysterious X-Wing seemingly appeared out of nowhere to come to their aid. We all had our hunches as to which character it was going to be and once his green lightsaber flashed, there was clearly no doubt that it was indeed the returning Luke Skywalker.
Easily the show's highlight, Luke astonishes everyone with his combat and Jedi skills as he singlehandedly decimated every dark trooper within sight. Now, in case you were wondering who portrayed Luke in Episode 8, no, it wasn't Marvel star Sebastian Stan as previously rumored. An unidentified actor played the iconic Jedi warrior with the use of a digital scan of Mark Hamill's face ala Wilhuff Tarkin in Rogue One.
Just like that, The Mandalorian has once again hit us with a smack of adrenaline and this finale is the bittersweet ending we so desperately needed. It goes to show that Jon Favreau, Dave Filoni, and the rest of the people responsible for the show's creation really know what we fans want. It just sucks how we have to wait another year to see Season 3 but hey, I'm sure it's gonna be worth it.
The finale episode of The Mandalorian Season 2 is now streaming on Disney+.
