I'm not ashamed to admit, as a 54 year old who has spent the best part of half a century watching Star Wars... I teared up when we finally got to see Jedi Master Luke Skywalker. Not farmboy Luke. Not impetuous young padawan Luke, or even newly minted Jedi Knight Luke.... but seasoned, experienced, Jedi MASTER Luke! We never got that. Those of us whose childhood was shaped by seeing Star Wars for the first time... that's what we've ALWAYS wanted to see.
Jon Favreau knew that and knew that Disney didn't deliver for us put this in the show for us. The only shame is that we didn't get to see this in the theaters surrounded by other fans.
Question for the Force. I saw the OT in theaters in the 70's--80's. I've rewatched them again and again. I watched the Mandalorian Seasons 1 & 2. I've tried to watch the prequels twice but am not into fight scenes and didn't connect with the characters. I haven't finished Episode 1. I feel like I have to know more of the lore before I can watch the Book of Boba Fett, Ahsoka, etc. Any tips for making it through the prequels? Once I make it through them, what next? Clone Wars? Thanks.
@@my4mainecoons338yea, you have to at least watch the prequel and original trilogies for the whole context. The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett and Ahsoka continue a LOT of storylines and characters from The Clone Wars and Rebels animated shows.
@@my4mainecoons338 Episode 1. Episode 2. 2003 Clone Wars (it's not Canon but will give you lots of context about grievous, ventress, the Jedi Council, Ankin and Padme, Ankin and Obi Wan and Palps. The Clone Wars and Star Wars Clone Wars. There's a list you can easily google to watch this 2 things in cronological order. First are a couple of episodes of season 1 and 2 then the movie then the episodes jumping all over on seasons 1-4 then ahead they go chronological I think better google the list.

Seeing Luke Skywalker at the end of this season was like seeing Anakin at the end of the fourth episode of Ahsoka for me. I was shocked and almost in tears too.❤
The look on Gideon's face when he realizes it's Luke is gold. To him, Luke is the god damned Boogeyman. The one that destroyed the Death Star, and ended both Vader and the Emperor. His blood runs cold at the mere thought of Luke.
2020 was the worst year of our lives, then Luke Skywalker appeared at the end of it and it was an incredible moment. Fans all over the world were united in joy during a very horrible time💚
I waited 40 years to see THIS Luke. I think this episode had the same reaction from many long time fans. Not ashamed to say I got force choked up watching this. MANDO has consistently been everything that’s right about Star Wars. And I can’t wait for more.
I cried with you. More than you actually, & I've seen it 20 times. Ppl waited from 1983 35+ years to see a self actualized Luke, our hero. This is prime Luke, full power. Grand Master Luke. We never thought we'd see him again. The hallway scene was his Vader moment. Notice that Luke used force crunch, usually considered a darkside power(I actually don't, but that's for another discussion). Maul had his hallway scene as well in TCW after Ahsoka frees him as a diversion. We never saw Luke like this, & haven't since(at least yet). Remember at the end of ROTJ when Luke takes Vaders helmet off so he can see him with his own eyes. Din taking his helmet off so Grogu could see him for the 1st time & Din could see him with his own eyes as well, parallels it. R2 coming around the corner messed me up as well. The fact that he's still with Luke & was both Anakins & Luke's best friend is really deep, at least for me. Jon Favreau said he lost it when he saw R2 with Luke. You should watch the making of this episode, it's on Disney plus. I don't want to spoil it for you, but they kept Luke a secret from even the cast. You just saw the most powerful force user(at least human) & Jedi in history. You need to watch Book of Boba Fett before watching season 3. It's next. There's a couple of great episodes in there, but nothing will ever match this episode. Nobody knew that BOBF was a thing, Disney never announced it before, so it was a huge reveal as well.😮 I think the Luke reveal was the greatest moment in fictional TV history. Glad I got to share it with you. You just watched Star Wars at his finest.
Millions of Star Wars Nerds including this saw it in the Theater OG In 1977 Nerd Broke into sobs the night this came on . Luke is My Generations greatest Hero and we needed to see him in full Jedi Mode
I can't appreciate more the range of emotions I felt during this episode. It was freaking incredible. I was so excited when I saw the X-wing. I thought "no way they can bring in Luke." Then I saw the Green Light saber and almost lost it. I was 5 all over again. Then seeing him unveil himself. What a call back to being 5 watching Return of the Jedi and completely forgetting The Last Jedi. Then the sadness of knowing Mando completed his quest and this once fierce and lonesome warrior was in pain and at loss. I was choked up at this point and then seeing R2...I lost it.
YESSSSS, Loved it her reaction from "Who the hell is that" to the realization Luke Skywalker has entered the house! Truly wonderful to watch, thank you Tara!
Yepp. saw this scene some dozen times. and those reactions. and still im overwhelmed including wettening my eyes. and as you mentioned too: the style he faught, was just like his fathers, Anakin, in that disturbing fightscene in Rogue One. Great Story telling. ❤☮
Tara-This was the first time i watched one of Your Reaction Videos and I'm hooked! I LOVED Your emotions during this Episode! See You for some more Star Wars Reactions! I just subscribed!
The first shot of a green saber on the bridge got a grin out of me and the happiness rose. He steps into the hanger with the Green blade down and right, sent chills of joys.
That was Bib Fortuna, Jabba's henchman from RotJ, who just got fat. (The guy in the suit is Matt Wood, Lucasfilm sound engineer, who we previously heard wheezing as General Grevious.)
Amazing reaction to an amazing episode. Peak Luke Skywalker - Jedi Master Luke. This was mind-blowing. I teared up for sure - everybody did. I still do. One of the greatest examples of Star Wars content EVER.
I just turned 65 today and same as you, I too cried as soon as I realized it was Luke destroying the Dark Troopers with the gloved hand and the green light saber when watching the finale the first time it came out. Truly the best Star Wars series and I was so thankful for Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni for giving this gift to fans like us. Don't skip the Book of Boba Fett. Even though it has some cringe moments (what Star Wars doesn't?) it is still essential and fun to watch at least for me and my family.
Given his age and that we know he spent time in the temple, I'm convinced Grogu already knew R2D2 and seeing him made him feel more comfortable to leave with Luke. :))
I love how Giancarlo Esposito just plays the same bad guy in all the media he's on nowadays. Breaking Bad, the Boys, Far Cry 6, the Mandalorian, he always plays as the cool, smooth bad guy who's a calculating, brutal monster hiding behind a face of politeness.
So given that R2-D2 would have been around the Jedi Temple at the same time Grogu was there. what are the odds R2 looked at him and said "dude I thought you were dead"
We were all in the thick of COVID when this episode came out. A light in the darkness is an understatement in how people felt with the return of their hero. Amazing!
there isn't much about luke in star wars compared to anakin, obi-wan and even R2D2. he's in movies only and barely in kenobi and mando. but he's famous as hell. he made star wars. seeing tara tear up about him just shows how much a impact luke has on the franchise.
Even watching reactions to this still tear me up a little :) Man, the context that this came out in - it was Christmas 2020 which, I'm sure you remember, was kind of a shit year. Normally I spend Christmas with out of state family, but instead we had to stay home. On top of that, there were a lot of fans (myself included) who weren't thrilled with everything in the sequels. I don't even know how to explain the sheer magic of seeing that X-Wing show up and hoping/realizing who it might be. I'm a ridiculous Luke fangirl and this completely made my year. The other thing was that it is partially what got me looking up other reaction videos and I spent that entire Christmas holiday just watching fans all over the world have the same reaction and it was something that felt really special during a time that was otherwise quite isolating.
Hi Tara!😊 Ooh, the finale of season 2, nice!👏 In the end credit that was Jabba's right hand man, significantly larger than we last saw him with Jabba in "Return of the Jedi". Great emotional reactions to the season two finale, Tara!!!!🎬👏👏👏👏
This episode came at the exact right time. It was December 2020, our country had just gone through Covid, lockdown, social unrest, and divisive presidential race. This episode brought closure and hope to a very awful year.
Somehow for me, the thing which made me sob the most was when R2 came in. It's okay with the long wait between reactions, it makes it that much of a pleasant surprise when your upload is immediately the first thing on my home page.
*I've been looking forward to this.* Seeing Luke, the Force theme playing, Grogu taken. I can't handle it. Seeing your reaction made me sad all over again. 😭😭 It's kind of like a happy sad though, in a way.
If I were Mando, when Moff Gideon was being so smug about how Bo had to win the sword in combat, I would have shrugged, unshackled Gideon, tossed him the sword and said "have at it".
When I was watching this episode with my dad and step mom me and my dad saw the X wing and said "well ok it could be anyone......" and then we saw the green saber and me and my father started screaming "ITS LUKE!!!!!!!" and my step mom sat there the whole time not understanding why we were freaking out cuz she's not really into starwars but bless her heart for being there supportive lmao. But yeah for like 6 months to a year the fanbase kept imagining luke training goku in a jedi academy series and them going on adventures maybe with han and leias children cuz alot of us speculated the mandoverse was in a separate john favreau made timeline where they were using george lucas version of the sequels with han and leias son and daughter and maybe luke would be training them instead of ben solo. You'll have to see later series to see what happens but to not spoil stuff for you, we are slated to get a mandalorian movie and supposedly other mando era stuff with ahsoka and some others. We're also supposed to get a dawn of the jedi movie in theaters showing the origin of the jedi order, this was already shown in comics and talked about in books in the legends timeline disney retconned for the new disney canon timeline but in recent years they've been borrowing from the legends stuff one of which was in this season you watched where ahsoka tells them to goto the jedi homeworld of tython, in legends that's the planet where the jedi order predecessor the je'daii order was formed, there were interesting origins to how the force wielders appeared on tython and it's worth checking this video out off camera if you're interested it may end up being more useful than one would have thought ruclips.net/video/aCGsO7KlPjE/видео.html
Great reaction! 😊 I always shed more than a few tears when Luke shows up at the end. Fun Fact: Both a young Luke body double and Mark Hamill were both on set for the filming of that last scene. Disney+ has a nice little featurette about it. Love the return of Bo Katan and Koska Reeves, and seeing them fighting with Fennec Shand and Cara Dune to rescue Grogu. And the Mando vs. Moff Gideon fight was excellent! Please don't forget, "The Book of Boba Fett" needs to be watched before Mando season 3. Looking forward to your next reaction. 😊
I knew who it was the minute i saw the green light saber and the gloved hand. I lost my shit. I said NO WAYYY!! IS IT REALLY *THEE* JEDI!?!? I think every old school star wars fan creamed their pants in this finale 😂😂😂😂
Girl! Was such a crappy Sunday this end of the globe for me and you just sparkled it with so much light! Been here since early Rebels. I know how much you love Star Wars and I'm so happy you got to this cause it's one of the best Star Wars episodes... At least till you get to Ahsoka but I'll zip it now. When will you do Bad Batch 3?! And no worries on delay to upload new vids, we'll be happy to watch them anytime everytime
Knew you'd love it. Also, we're glad Boba went off to do his own thing after dropping off the rescue team. He and Luke might not be on the best of terms...😅
It’s cool to see the Younglings get fascinated with Star Wars movies/tv shows. Nothing will compare to Star Wars! BTW, remember when Grogu was doing his “meditation “ on that boulder rock before his kidnap, he actually was contacting Luke Skywalker for help..Hence, that’s why Luke was on … 👍
This is the Luke Skywalker that we all hoped to see in episode 7. In the fantastic expanded universe, Luke is a grandmaster and the head of a new Jedi order of thousands of Jedi Knights. this was great stuff!!
Loved your reaction! For me this episode gave me everything I´ve wanted to see in the sequels as I´ve grown up with the Heir to the Empire Trilogy and the Jedi Knight/Academy games. There was always a Grand Master Luke that i wanted to see in a movie, but never got to see in the sequels... Initially when the X-Wing arrived i thought: "No way, it can´t be him! Maybe they´re playing a trick on us and it´s Cal Kestis thats coming... (because Jedi: Fallen Order had just come out in 2019)". But the way they showed us the little clues, starting with the lightsaber, the glove, his uniform and at the end the "force crush" - it was just done so incredibly well. It was 2020, probably the worst year of our lives and Luke Skywalker came to the rescue at Christmas... That was the Starwars I´ve been waiting for since I first saw the Original Trilogy as a child. And Filoni just knows what Star Wars fans want to see, especially the little details he adds make the shows so amazing. Definitley watch Book of Boba Fett before Mandalorian Season 3, but then you could watch Ahsoka...
Your excitement and just live for Luke and his arrival is exactly what everyone feels when they watch it for the first time.. there's a bunch of other reactions where people just outright cry to see Luke return - and return as the HERO we all know him to be! . You need to watch The Book Of Bobs Fett next to keep the storyline going, then Mando season three.
This episode still hits hard. The music when he is first shown on the tv monitors. I heard he appeared in the show, so the shock was ruined for me, but I still loved it.
Great reaction. This was a watershed moment in all of Star Wars, The SWU, and the SW Fan base. Wait until you watch, The Book Of Boba Fett. THE FEELS that are incoming...
Fifth Place! Not bad... The look on Gideon's face when He realized Who was coming to the bridge. Bet He must of thought: "I should have had installed a suicide-shocker in my mouth to avoid capture! Oh, well: blaster it is then..." Speaking of dead men telling no tales, I kind of respect that second T.I.E. Pilot's zero tollerance stance on defectors and defeatists, pity He had to murder his colleague and die shortly after at Cara's hands. Those who live by the sword die by the sword, as they say.
When they made it the script said it was plo kloon, and only a few people saw mark hamil (and younger stand in) so they were all surprised to find out it was luke
Did you see in the credits... Luke Skywalker was played by Mark Hamill? The part where he walks in and speaks with Mando. Of course Mark is too old to do the part where Luke fought the Dark Troopers. That portion was done using a stunt double.
Wait really???? I thought that they had just found an actor who looked extremely similar and messed with the voice a little bit. THAT’S INSANE. Also imagine getting to be that stunt double? I’d never stop bragging about it😂
Bo Katan defeating Mando does NOT mean she has to kill him... Just DEFEAT him...She can let Mando live... BUT... She DOES have to BEAT him legitimately... NOT saying that is what WILL happen... Just what COULD happen...
I'm not ashamed to admit, as a 54 year old who has spent the best part of half a century watching Star Wars... I teared up when we finally got to see Jedi Master Luke Skywalker. Not farmboy Luke. Not impetuous young padawan Luke, or even newly minted Jedi Knight Luke.... but seasoned, experienced, Jedi MASTER Luke! We never got that. Those of us whose childhood was shaped by seeing Star Wars for the first time... that's what we've ALWAYS wanted to see.
Indeed..and for some reason they dont seem too keen to give us more scenes like that one.
I'm 55 and I was hyperventilating and hiccup weeping the first time I saw the Luke Jedi Master scene.
Jon Favreau knew that and knew that Disney didn't deliver for us put this in the show for us. The only shame is that we didn't get to see this in the theaters surrounded by other fans.
@@sliceofheaven3026if they make more scenes like this then they stop before special. 😊
@@alvindavid1562yessssssss I'm glad I was by myself 😢
Just remember, Tara.... The Book of Boba Fett is next, THEN Season 3 of The Mandalorian. There's a reason for it. Trust The Force.

Seeing Luke Skywalker at the end of this season was like seeing Anakin at the end of the fourth episode of Ahsoka for me. I was shocked and almost in tears too.❤
Never fight a skywalker in a hallway
This episode was the best television ever aired anywhere.
The look on Gideon's face when he realizes it's Luke is gold. To him, Luke is the god damned Boogeyman. The one that destroyed the Death Star, and ended both Vader and the Emperor. His blood runs cold at the mere thought of Luke.
Yeah, Red 5 had to make everyone in the ISB terrified because he beat Vader AND Palapatine.
2020 was the worst year of our lives, then Luke Skywalker appeared at the end of it and it was an incredible moment. Fans all over the world were united in joy during a very horrible time💚
9:50 I literally had to turn down the volume because I screamed so loud. I’m so sorry. But R2!!!!!!!!!

Never apologize for enjoying things.

This was how we all felt at the end of this episode. I saw my buddy cry.
My favorite scene is when you first see the green ... walking down that bridge like a boss
What's that?
That was Bib Fortuna, Jabba's henchman from RotJ, who just got fat. (The guy in the suit is Matt Wood, Lucasfilm sound engineer, who we previously heard wheezing as General Grevious.)
He also played Bib Fortuna in The Phantom Menace.
The guy sitting on Jabba's throne before getting shot by Boba Fett was Bib Fortuna, Jabba's head servant/majordomo in Return of The Jedi.
Amazing reaction to an amazing episode. Peak Luke Skywalker - Jedi Master Luke. This was mind-blowing. I teared up for sure - everybody did. I still do. One of the greatest examples of Star Wars content EVER.
It is wonderful that the episode can evoke such powerful positive reactions from a fan, despite it being released years prior.
One of the most epic and tearing you apart scene in SW for ever.
As a 63 year old and watched the original Star Wars movies in 1977 in the theater. I still teared up at that last scene.🥹 Great reaction Tara!!👍🏼
This is one of the best episodes in television history IMHO. It was simply excellent!
7:01.. I feel a great disturbance in the Force....as if millions of voices cried out in joy....
The look on your face when you realize that it’s Luke is priceless

That was the top tier of Disney productions. Nothing comes close.
when R2 busts in, you know everyone's gonna be ok!

The Mandalorian looked on Grogu with his own eyes, as Vader did with Luke.
This episode came at the exact right time. It was December 2020, our country had just gone through Covid, lockdown, social unrest, and divisive presidential race. This episode brought closure and hope to a very awful year.
This episode came out right before Christmas and gave us peak Luke! It was one of the best Christmas gifts I ever got!
I cry watching that scene every time 😅
I need a waterproof screen when watching your reactions. 😄

No doubt one of the best scenes in all of Star Wars. The way the action and music and emotion all blend together perfectly 👌
The music was phenomenal!
the music itself moves me to tears every time
Rule #1 of Star Wars: Never get stuck in a hallway with a Skywalker…
Like father, like son...Darth Vader Rogue one...😂😂😂
Great episode. Now imagine us old geezers who waited 40 years to see young Luke again.
*I've been looking forward to this.*
Seeing Luke, the Force theme playing, Grogu taken. I can't handle it. Seeing your reaction made me sad all over again. 😭😭
It's kind of like a happy sad though, in a way.
If I were Mando, when Moff Gideon was being so smug about how Bo had to win the sword in combat, I would have shrugged, unshackled Gideon, tossed him the sword and said "have at it".
Yep, we all felt that.

But yeah for like 6 months to a year the fanbase kept imagining luke training goku in a jedi academy series and them going on adventures maybe with han and leias children cuz alot of us speculated the mandoverse was in a separate john favreau made timeline where they were using george lucas version of the sequels with han and leias son and daughter and maybe luke would be training them instead of ben solo. You'll have to see later series to see what happens but to not spoil stuff for you, we are slated to get a mandalorian movie and supposedly other mando era stuff with ahsoka and some others. We're also supposed to get a dawn of the jedi movie in theaters showing the origin of the jedi order, this was already shown in comics and talked about in books in the legends timeline disney retconned for the new disney canon timeline but in recent years they've been borrowing from the legends stuff one of which was in this season you watched where ahsoka tells them to goto the jedi homeworld of tython, in legends that's the planet where the jedi order predecessor the je'daii order was formed, there were interesting origins to how the force wielders appeared on tython and it's worth checking this video out off camera if you're interested it may end up being more useful than one would have thought ruclips.net/video/aCGsO7KlPjE/видео.html
Great reaction! 😊
I always shed more than a few tears when Luke shows up at the end.
Fun Fact: Both a young Luke body double and Mark Hamill were both on set for the filming of that last scene. Disney+ has a nice little featurette about it.
Love the return of Bo Katan and Koska Reeves, and seeing them fighting with Fennec Shand and Cara Dune to rescue Grogu. And the Mando vs. Moff Gideon fight was excellent!
Please don't forget, "The Book of Boba Fett" needs to be watched before Mando season 3.
Looking forward to your next reaction. 😊
I think it was safe to say no one expected Luke Skywalker of all people to show up and save the day. Of the best moments in Star Wars history.
You ROCK mademoiselle, great react ...as always...
been waiting for this one😭
seeing THIS version of Luke again made me so emotional when this Episode came out
I knew who it was the minute i saw the green light saber and the gloved hand. I lost my shit. I said NO WAYYY!! IS IT REALLY *THEE* JEDI!?!? I think every old school star wars fan creamed their pants in this finale 😂😂😂😂
This finaly is epic. Can t wait for your next sw réaction . I keep sticking 😊
Yes, Book of Boba Fett next... It all ties into the same plot...
Your reaction to one of the coolest episodes of Star Wars did not disappoint. thank you!
Book of Boba Fett / "Mando season 2,5" next!
Girl! Was such a crappy Sunday this end of the globe for me and you just sparkled it with so much light! Been here since early Rebels. I know how much you love Star Wars and I'm so happy you got to this cause it's one of the best Star Wars episodes... At least till you get to Ahsoka but I'll zip it now. When will you do Bad Batch 3?! And no worries on delay to upload new vids, we'll be happy to watch them anytime everytime
I cried like a baby when Luke showed up. Amazing star wars
Knew you'd love it. Also, we're glad Boba went off to do his own thing after dropping off the rescue team. He and Luke might not be on the best of terms...😅
It’s cool to see the Younglings get fascinated with Star Wars movies/tv shows. Nothing will compare to Star Wars! BTW, remember when Grogu was doing his “meditation “ on that boulder rock before his kidnap, he actually was contacting Luke Skywalker for help..Hence, that’s why Luke was on … 👍
Thank you for this.
This is the Luke Skywalker that we all hoped to see in episode 7. In the fantastic expanded universe, Luke is a grandmaster and the head of a new Jedi order of thousands of Jedi Knights. this was great stuff!!
When you saw Luke slicing the Dark Troopers and you remembered Darth Vader killing Rebel fighters in Rogue One, is like father and son. Right!? 😂
Loved your reaction! For me this episode gave me everything I´ve wanted to see in the sequels as I´ve grown up with the Heir to the Empire Trilogy and the Jedi Knight/Academy games. There was always a Grand Master Luke that i wanted to see in a movie, but never got to see in the sequels... Initially when the X-Wing arrived i thought: "No way, it can´t be him! Maybe they´re playing a trick on us and it´s Cal Kestis thats coming... (because Jedi: Fallen Order had just come out in 2019)". But the way they showed us the little clues, starting with the lightsaber, the glove, his uniform and at the end the "force crush" - it was just done so incredibly well. It was 2020, probably the worst year of our lives and Luke Skywalker came to the rescue at Christmas... That was the Starwars I´ve been waiting for since I first saw the Original Trilogy as a child. And Filoni just knows what Star Wars fans want to see, especially the little details he adds make the shows so amazing. Definitley watch Book of Boba Fett before Mandalorian Season 3, but then you could watch Ahsoka...
You knew exactly who it was. The whole world does by now.
Think this is one of my favorite reactions from you. Worth a 2nd watch!
Your excitement and just live for Luke and his arrival is exactly what everyone feels when they watch it for the first time.. there's a bunch of other reactions where people just outright cry to see Luke return - and return as the HERO we all know him to be!
.
You need to watch The Book Of Bobs Fett next to keep the storyline going, then Mando season three.
This episode still hits hard. The music when he is first shown on the tv monitors. I heard he appeared in the show, so the shock was ruined for me, but I still loved it.
The son of the Chosen one himself
Rule 1 in Star Wars, never be a hallway with a Skywalker
I have been waiting for this video for a while now this is the Luke we all have wanted and waited for being the bad ass we know.
We feel you ma’am.
“That’s Luke Fucking Skywalker.”
To those who might wonder why Luke looks young,from what I’ve heard this takes place maybe 10 years after ROTJ
1:41 This should be a line of dialogue for Mando
she provoked this fight herself
Great reaction. This was a watershed moment in all of Star Wars, The SWU, and the SW Fan base. Wait until you watch, The Book Of Boba Fett. THE FEELS that are incoming...
Fifth Place! Not bad...
The look on Gideon's face when He realized Who was coming to the bridge. Bet He must of thought: "I should have had installed a suicide-shocker in my mouth to avoid capture! Oh, well: blaster it is then..." Speaking of dead men telling no tales, I kind of respect that second T.I.E. Pilot's zero tollerance stance on defectors and defeatists, pity He had to murder his colleague and die shortly after at Cara's hands. Those who live by the sword die by the sword, as they say.
I'm suprised my comment got liked so soon! Thank You, whoever you are.
You need to watch The Book of Boba Fett because it sets up Mandalorian season 3
Beautiful.
When they made it the script said it was plo kloon, and only a few people saw mark hamil (and younger stand in) so they were all surprised to find out it was luke
Ive watched this reaction series just for this episode…my favorite of this new shows…second fav is in Book of Boba…you’ll know it when you see it
He is so like his father
Did you see in the credits... Luke Skywalker was played by Mark Hamill? The part where he walks in and speaks with Mando. Of course Mark is too old to do the part where Luke fought the Dark Troopers. That portion was done using a stunt double.
Wait really???? I thought that they had just found an actor who looked extremely similar and messed with the voice a little bit. THAT’S INSANE. Also imagine getting to be that stunt double? I’d never stop bragging about it😂
Amazing episode,finally got to see Luke in his prime,greatest star wars under Disney so far❤
Bo Katan defeating Mando does NOT mean she has to kill him... Just DEFEAT him...She can let Mando live... BUT... She DOES have to BEAT him legitimately...
NOT saying that is what WILL happen... Just what COULD happen...
Yes Master Luke Skywalker!!!!! Finally!🎉
Now that you have finished S2, I get to watch the playlist over and over until you get you Book of Boba Fett and then S3
