For me, I thought that getting Luke Skywalker on the show was an impossibility, so having him show up was amazing.
Getting to see Luke in his full power as a master jedi was especially awesome.
I was actually somewhat disappointed it wasn't Sebastian Stan when he pulled back the hood. That's not a knock against Mark Hamill, it's more that I was hoping to see the role handed over to a younger actor so that we could potentially see more of Luke in future episodes or possibly a post-Jedi Skywalker series.
However, getting Mark Hamill to play live action Luke again is unquestionably a triumph for the creators of The Mandalorian.
I noticed that Luke never actually introduces himself by name. You could argue that he didn't need to, I suppose. He is arguably the most famous hero in the galaxy.
The effect used to turn Hamill into Young Luke was not flawless. It looked good, but it looked like an effect. And it is no doubt an expensive effect, so we probably won't see a lot of him. Pity, because I kinda want to see what Luke is doing post-ROTJ now.
Question: if the Dark Troopers are droids, what did they need Grogu's blood for? And why did Moff Gideon try to kill himself rather than be captured? There is more to this than has been revealed.
RIP Jeremy Bullock, the original Boba Fett.
If Bo-Katan has to beat the shit out of the person holding the Darksaber, can Mando just hand it back to Moff Gideon and let her go to town?
Mando is now both penniless and the rightful king of Mandalore. If only he could split the difference, he'd be in good shape.
And lastly, The Book of Boba Fett, coming December 2021. What's his goal now? Is he going to be the ruler of Tattooine, and if so, why? He's not from there, and there are nicer planets to inhabit.
In the end, I was very satisfied with this episode, and the season as a whole. They kept the quality high, told good stories, and had amazing guest stars. Can't wait to see what happens in Season 3!
