The Mandalorian Just Got Its Biggest Star Wars Cameo Yet - IGN - IGN

In a series of major connections to the Star Wars universe, The Mandalorian's Season 2 finale contained perhaps its biggest yet. Warning: Spoilers for The Mandalorian, Chapter 16 follow. Beware!Yes, Luke Skywalker has now appeared in The Mandalorian, wielding his green lightsaber and a digitally de-aged face. The credits confirmed that Mark Hamill reprised his role as Luke for the cameo, with Max Lloyd Jones serving as the body double.

The legendary Jedi responded to Grogu's psychic call, and has taken him away for training, and away from Mando, but never away from our hearts. It may well be that Grogu is a part of Skywalker's ill-fated Jedi training academy (perhaps even the reason for starting it) - but we very much hope he wasn't still a part of it once Ben Solo joined and... well, we all saw what happened there.

As you might expect, shortly after the episode aired, the words "LUKE SKYWALKER" in all-caps began to trend on Twitter.

The move has kicked off some debate around the de-aging used to include Hamill, with some saying the effect wasn't of a high enough quality:

There's been a long-standing fan movement to have Winter Soldier actor Sebastian Stan take on the role, given his resemblance to a young Mark Hamill - and the words "Sebastian Stan" also began trending shortly after the episode.

It wasn't the only revelation in the season finale - we also learned in a post-credits sequence that The Book of Boba Fett will be coming in December 2021.
