The Book of Boba Fett’s fifth chapter includes a handful of cameos and surprise appearances – some more recognizable than others. What you may have missed, however, is the actor who ‘portrayed’ Luke Skywalker in The Mandalorian season 2 finale returning for seconds in a galaxy far, far away.

Spoilers for The Book of Boba Fett episode 5 follow.

While it’s likely nothing more than Lloyd-Jones getting some on-screen recognition after his important work behind-the-scenes, it surely won’t dampen the speculation from Star Wars viewers that Luke Skywalker (and Grogu) could show up in the next episode of The Book of Boba Fett.

The Book of Boba Fett didn’t just bridge a gap between The Mandalorian. It was busy elsewhere, fixing a plot hole – and tidying up some Darksaber-related confusion in the process.
