The Force is strong with this one. And that one. And that one.
Cameos abounded in the latest episode of DIsney+ series “The Mandalorian,” as several guest stars joined the ever-expanding universe of the galaxy far, far away.
Lizzo in particular stole the show, playing a noblewoman who befriends Grogu.
She explained her love of all things “Star Wars” today on Instagram.
“When I was a young girl my dad introduced me to Star Wars like a rite of passage,” Lizzo wrote today on Instagram. “The trilogy’s are his favorite movies and quickly became mine. When Jon favreau called me and offered the role of The Dutchess I cried all day wishing my dad was still with us cus he’d be so proud. Star Wars was a dream I never thought was possible— but thanks to Jon, Bryce, and everyone in the galaxy I am now part of the ever-expanding saga of the stars. I am in honorable company and forever grateful. This is The Way…. and May the Force be with you.”
In the episode’s storyline, Lizzo is married to Jack Black, and floats on screen in her domed empire as Duchess of the Outer Rim planet Plazir-15. Black plays Captain Bombardier, a former Imperial officer who became enamored of the Duchess when he was exiled to Plazir.
They are soon jolted by the appearance of Mando, Grogu, and fellow Mandalorian Bo-Katan Kryze. But Grogu quickly warms them up, as the Baby Yoda knockoff uses the Force to help Lizzo win a lawn game involving tossing creatures through a series of hoops.
There’s another famous cameo later in the episode, Christopher Lloyd (aka Doc Brown of “Back to the Future” fame) appears as the planet’s security Commissioner, Helgait.
The Commissioner is tasked with overseeing the repurposed battle droids, who have been reduced to valets.

Adam B. Vary Senior Entertainment Writer SPOILER ALERT: This story discusses major plot points in the Season 3 finale of “The Mandalorian,” currently streaming on Disney+. It took all eight episodes of Season 3 for “The Mandalorian” to find its way back to itself, which is to say, back to Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) and his (now officially!) adopted child, Grogu. For most of Season 3, the core relationship of the series — the reason why “The Mandalorian” became an instant global phenomenon — was shunted aside in favor of tracking how Katee Sackhoff’s Bo-Katan Kryze rallied the estranged factions of Mandalorians to take back their devastated homeworld. Audiences have not responded kindly. Legions of reviews, tweets and YouTube videos vivisected this season of “The Mandalorian” for being “detached,” “unsatisfying,” “sloppy” and “the worst.” What had been a loose and uncomplicated story of Din and Grogu’s ongoing adventures had become instead a sprawling narrative steeped in Mandalorian lore that was brand new (and, even worse, uninteresting) to most people watching. An ironic strength of the show — audiences projecting themselves into Din’s helmet in the absence of Pascal’s deeply expressive face — became a major liability, with episodes in which dozens of helmeted Mandalorians talked to each other in a dry, monosyllabic monotones, with nary a human face to be seen.

After the season kicked off with Din Djarin in search of the Living Waters and Bo-Katan Kryze (Katee Sackhoff) simmering over her failed plans to reclaim Mandalore, the final few episodes brought the story back around to where things started. «This entire season has been about building up to something bigger and I think that for the fans that have been watching weekly, I think they can sense that episodes seven and eight are the payoff,» Sackhoff told ET. And in the final chapters, a mostly absent Moff Gideon (Giancarlo Esposito) returns in an attempt to prevent the Mandorlians from returning and reclaiming their rightful place on Mandalore.
