Star Wars fans are sharing their favorite unbelievable canon cameos – and some of them are seriously deep-cut

Werner Herzog in The Mandalorian.

Although the films may imply otherwise, the Star Wars universe is undeniably vast despite our focus on the Skywalker family for most of its timeline. Over the years, a wide range of talent has dropped in all corners of the galaxy before they became major movie stars or were already well-known and simply wanted to realize their fan-inspired dreams. Over on Reddit, lovers of the story set a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away gave their favorite appearances throughout the franchise, making a frankly wild trip down memory lane done at hyperspeed.

A popular pick was Kiera Knightley as Sabé, handmaiden to Queen Amidala (Natalie Portman) and dedicated decoy for the future love of Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen). One fan gave honorable mention to a star who, while not well known in his first appearance, returned as a well-known name when he reprised a role in the Obi-Wan Kenobi series. "Because he’s such a dynamic actor, I tend to fancast Joel Edgerton in a lot of stuff. I always forget he’s been Owen Lars since 2002."
