In 2020, The Mandalorian fulfilled what many fans would have hoped and wished for from the Star Wars sequels:To direct Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) as a real Jedi badass, who doesn't shy away from wiping up the floor with his imperial socks.
Because in the big finale of the second season, the Jedi Master saved Din Djarin and his foundling's butt in a seemingly hopeless situation. He then bags Grogu to train him in the Force.
This is what showrunners Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau gave usone of the best Star Wars moments, that the Disney era still has to offer today.Of course, this caused the fans to go crazy and at the time social media was full of enthusiastic reactions.
Fan reactions to the legendary scene
Now - four years later - a viral video looks back on those moments and shows fans' emotions in fast forward. The video was shared on the Tik Tok platform by the usertonyc_official. At this point, the two-minute clip already hascollected over 186,000 likes.
When The Mandalorian Season 2 Episode 8 was released, Mark Hamill was already 69 years old. With the help of actor Graham Hamilton (Love, Death & Robots, Alien Code), who looks like him, and a CGI facial rejuvenation, the young Jedi was able to return.
While some - who haven't seen Star Wars - are asking "Who is Luke?", real fans are wallowing in nostalgia in the over 1,000 comments.Here are a few examples:
