Most “Star Wars” fans were very unhappy with what they did with Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) in “The Last Jedi”, as he was described as a coward and a loser.
In contrast, the character was redeemed in the final episode of Season 2 of ‘The Mandalorino’ when he showed some glory by saving Grogu, Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) and the company of a horde of Dark Troppers.
For this reason, Mark Hamill himself thanked the creators of the series for the triumphant return of the Jedi after the great disappointment of “Episode VIII”.
On his Twitter profile, the star shared Luke’s image with the following words:
“Sometimes the best gifts are the most unexpected and something you never realized you wanted until you received them.

Check out the episode summary:
The intrigue is already tense when Mando (Pedro Pascal) and Boba Fett (Temuera Morrison) track down Bo-Katan Kryze (Katee Sackhoff) and Koska Reeves (Sasha Banks) in an attempt to convince them to help them save Grogu from the clutches of the Empire.
In return, the Mandalorians could stay with Gideon’s Imperial Cruiser to retake Mandalore, in addition to allowing Kryze to reclaim the Black Saber from the villain.
However, Reeves soon realizes that Boba is a clone of the despicable Jango Fett and a friction arises between the two, but the Warrior ends up agreeing to participate in the mission after Din’s plea.
“Help me save the child,” he pleads, “and you can have whatever you want. He is my only priority.
After initiating the plan, the group manages to invade Gideon’s spaceship without any problem.
As Cara Dune (Gina Carano), Fennec Shand (Ming-Na Wen), Bo-Katan and Koska fight their way against the Dark Troopers, Fett distracts some TIE Fighters across space and Din takes advantage of it. take to the child.
Along the way, he comes face to face with a Dark Trooper who completely dominates him, proving why Gideon’s personal guard is so creepy.
Thankfully, the Mandalorian’s Beskar spear was enough to take down the droid after intense combat.
Locating Grogu, he finds Gideon waiting for him wielding the Black Saber … I threaten him and promise to leave him alive and in possession of the Saber if he returns Grogu.
Gideon agrees, claiming that he already has what he needs from the little alien to restore “ order ” to the galaxy, but the villain attacks Mando by surprise.
In a duel, Din shows himself to be a skillful opponent and his Beskar cloak leaves the fight fairly balanced, until he defeats his opponent and recovers the Dark Saber, becoming his rightful wearer.
As soon as the hero is about to deliver him to Bo-Katan, she is taken by surprise, because she knows that she will only be worthy to wield the Black Saber and lead Mandalore if she defeats her ally in battle … something that should be explored next season.
Before they get there, the Dark Troopers return and block the passage of the Mandalorians about to disintegrate them with a burst of lasers.
However, an X-Wing approaches the Imperial Ship creating a new moment of tension, mystery and expectation.
A mysterious hooded action figure with a green lightsaber arrives and kills droids so easily that it leaves heroes and villains unanswered, making it clear that he is a powerful Force user …
The Jedi Knight is none other than Luke Skywalker, in a scene that references Darth Vader’s attack on the rebels in ‘Rogue One: A Star Wars Story’.
Luke walks over to the room where Grogu is and they seem to connect mentally …
With the promise to train Baby Yoda, Luke decides to leave and take him to the new Jedi Academy. That’s when Mando takes his helmet off again, tears in his eyes, watching the little one leave with Luke and R2-D2.
The end of the 2nd season was much more grandiose than that of the 1st and promises nice surprises for what will follow… The training of Grogu should be one of the highlights of the next episodes, as well as the consequences of his kidnapping by the hands of Gideon.
Without a doubt, everything indicates that the little boy was kidnapped to start the Emperor’s cloning plan and the possible birth of Supreme Leader Snoke.
So what do you think we have in store for December 2021?
