The fifth episode of The Book of Boba Fett, “The Return of the Mandalorian,” was a big one for Star Wars fans. The excitement is right there in the title as it featured the long-awaited return of Pedro Pascal as Din Djarin AKA The Mandalorian. Mando was last seen in the Season 2 finale of Star Wars: The Mandalorian, which came to an end in December of 2020. Now that the character has returned, fans are thrilled, and they can’t wait to see him team up with Boba Fett next week. Pascal is also clearly excited about his return. In fact, he took to Twitter today with a perfect response to the crossover episode.

Mando wasn’t the only character fromย The Mandalorianย to make an appearance in this week’s episode of The Book of Boba Fett. Not only didย we see The Armoror from season one, but Amy Sedaris returned as the lovable Tatooine mechanic, Peli Motto. In an earlier episode ofย The Book of Boba Fett,ย Peli could be spotted in the background, so fans were excited to see her get more screentime. “The Return of the Mandalorian” had another important connection to Disney+’s first Star Wars series. The episode was helmed by Bryce Dallas Howard,ย who also directed “Chapter 4: Sanctuary” and “Chapter 11: The Heiress”ย ofย The Mandalorian.ย Theย Jurassic Worldย star tookย to Instagram yessterday to celebrate her latest entryย into the Star Wars universe.ย
