The following story is going to get into spoilers for the latest episode of The Mandalorian, episode five. If you haven’t yet caught up with the episode, and you want to remain unspoiled, then stop reading and bounce back over to another story on the site.
Star Wars television shows do an excellent job of reminding us they are part of the larger Star Wars galaxy. Moreso than the films do (or did, since there hasn’t been a film in four years now). The Mandalorian will casually return to Jabba the Hutt’s palace to show Boba Fett taking over where the crime lord once sat. Or Luke Skywalker, in the post Return of the Jedi era, will appear in an episode so he can train Grogu. But the shows are going the extra mile to also include characters who we have only seen in animation before, be it Cade Bane from Star Wars: The Clone Wars, or Rosario Dawson’s amazing transformation into Ahsoka Tano.
