The cameo from Luke helps us get even clearer on when The Mandalorian is set within the larger Star Wars timeline. Once Grogu was safely back with Din Djarin and Moff Gideon was officially captured, the young Luke Skywalker (a digitally de-aged and CGI'd Mark Hamill) revealed himself as the Jedi answering Grogu's call to all surviving members of the Jedi order from Episode 6, 'The Tragedy.' Baby Yoda, from Moff Gideon's ( Giancarlo Esposito) clutches, titular Mandalorian Din Djarin ( Pedro Pascal) organized a rescue mission with Cara Dune ( Gina Carano), Fennec Shand ( Ming-Na Wen), Boba Fett ( Temuera Morrison), Bo-Katan Kryze ( Katee Sackhoff), and Koska Reeves ( Sasha Banks).
The Mandalorian Season 2 final episode, 'The Rescue,' contained some major twists. The Season 2 finale of Disney+ series The Mandalorianprovided even more clues about when in the Star Wars timeline this TV show is set.
