Mark Hamill Shares Excited Fan Reactions to *That* Surprise Cameo

There was a disturbance in the Force nearly two weeks ago when a certain iconic Jedi Master appeared on-screen in the season finale of “The Mandalorian.” In a move that yours truly didn’t think was possible and had "Star Wars" fans everywhere screaming, the hit Disney+ show brought Luke Skywalker (a young CGI-ed Mark Hamill) into the fold to save the gang from Dark Troopers. When all seemed lost for the Mandalorian and his allies, one lone X-Wing flew into view. Eagle-eyed fans in the video noticed R2-D2 in the backseat, but what really sealed the deal on this hooded figure's appearance: the signature green lightsaber. In an epic fight sequence reminiscent of Darth Vader’s hallway scene from “Rogue One,” Skywalker cuts down scores of Dark Troopers to retrieve the Child. This morning, Hamill shared a compilation video of fan reactions to his surprise cameo and had words of gratitude for the show-runners: “Sometimes the greatest gifts are the most unexpected and something you never realized you wanted until it was given. #ThankYouJonAndDave.” Piece together this bittersweet puzzle of the Jedi carrying Grogu!
