It was the second week in a row where Disney+'s The Book of Boba Fett's story focused primarily on The Mandalorian--along with some other special guests. This week's episode focused on Mando gathering some help in order to take down the Pyke Syndicate, and in doing so, a bunch of familiar faces pop back up.
Warning, there are spoilers for the episode below.
Many of these characters you've seen on The Mandalorian, but they've been worked into this episode. From tiny little green buddies that you're not supposed to call Baby Yoda anymore to lawman who originally wore the Boba Fett armor, chances are you'll get a kick out of seeing all these Star Wars characters in this episode.
Episode 6 of The Book of Boba Fett also marks the live-action debut of a famed bounty hunter from an animated series. Check out all the returning characters and some Easter eggs below.
Cobb Vanth
Timothy Olyphant returns as Cobb Vanth, the Marshall of Mos Pelgo--which is now called Freetown. He has his own deputy this time around though, JJ Dashnaw (Sin City) plays Deputy Scott according to the credits. Sadly, Vanth probably won't be showing up much more in this series because of how the episode ended.
R2-D2
It's everyone's favorite booping and beeping sassy robot. R2 is still by Luke's side at this time. This is still a few years before we see R2 with Leia at the Resistance base in Force Awakens.
Order 66
Grogu's earliest memories happen during Order 66--which we saw happen in Revenge of the Sith and the animated series The Clone Wars. This is when Palpatine ordered the Clone Troopers to kill off all of the Jedi, including Younglings. Grogu has a distant memory of this, as three unknown Jedi take on a group of Clone Troopers in a hallway.
Ahsoka Tano
Rosario Dawson reprises her role as Ahsoka Tano from the Mandalorian, the former Jedi Padawan who was trained by none other than Anakin Skywalker, also known as Darth Vader.
Luke Skywalker
In the Season 2 finale of The Manadlorian, Luke Skywalker showed up and whisked Grogu away. Now, he's training Grogu to become a Jedi. A good chunk of the episode focused around the training.
Grogu and the training ball
Everyone's favorite green guy is back. Formerly known as Baby Yoda, Grogu has begun his journey to become a Jedi. Luke introduces him to a Jedi Training Droid, which does exactly what you think it does. In the past, we saw Luke use it on the Millennium Falcon.
Luke carrying Grogu
Yes, Grogu is a tiny guy, so he can't move as fast as Luke--but Grogu can totally do backflips--so Luke has to carry Grogu on his back. When Luke was training on Dagobah, he carried Yoda on his back in the same manner–and even compared Grogu to the fallen Jedi master.
Jawa Sandcrawler
We catch a brief shot of the Jawa Sandcralwer, and what's interesting about that is the giant skull on top. This is the skull of a krayt dragon, which Mando and Vanth helped kill in Season 2 of The Mandalorian.
Live action Cad Bane
Fans of the animated series The Clone Wars or The Bad Batch will recognize this face. At Freetown, an imposing man in a hat approaches Vanth, which ultimately leads to the marshall getting shot. This is none other than the bounty hunter Cad Bane, who is about 70 years old at this time. After the death of Jango Fett, Bane was the most-feared bounty hunter in the system. Bane has worked with Darth Maul, Darth Sidious, and even Jabba the Hutt. Now, he's working for the Pyke Syndicate.
