ThisStar Warsarticle contains spoilers forThe Mandalorian.
No, your eyes werent deceiving you while watchingThe Foundling,Chapter 20 ofThe Mandalorian.
That is indeed aStar Warscharacter and actor youve seen before and not just in the ways you might think.
But that isnt a Gungan saving a defenseless Baby Yoda from the clone troopers who are after him.
Its Jedi Master Kelleran Beq who has his own surprisingStar Warslegacy that goes beyond the Mandoverse.
Today, youre much more likely to hear cheers for Best atStar Warsconventions than jokes or insults.
As it should be!
I was very pleasantly surprised.
And I wanted to pay homage to some Jedi of the past.
Another fun fact about Kelleran: he may have a relative weve met before in the Prequels.
Whatever the case, the Jedi Masters name is another fun nod to Bests many contributions to the saga.
Good to be back.
There is so much to say and share.
Its going to take a couple of days.
The Mandalorianseason 3 is streaming Wednesdays on Disney+.
