Season Two started off with a similar bang, introducing Timothy Olyphant and John Leguizamo to the greater Star Wars universe โ and that was only the beginning. The third episode of the show’s second season may have been the biggest yet in terms of new guest stars, and we’ve compiled them all for you here.
Keep scrolling to see the latest guest stars to join the Star Wars universe in the latest episode of The Mandalorian!
Katee Sackhoff as Bo-Katan Kryze
Katee Sackhoff’s inclusion in the series as Bo-Katan is important for a few reasons. First, she’s a massive name around these parts as she’s appeared in top-shelf genre programs likeย Battlestar Galactica, Robot Chicken,ย andย Arrowย for the better part of two decades. More important, however, is that she also voiced Bo-Katan inย Star Wars: The Clone Warsย animated series, making her the first major actor to crossover to live-action after a character first debuted in animation.
Forest Whitaker’s Saw Guerrera first appear inย Clone Warsย voiced by Andrew Kishino. Whitaker then played the character inย Rogue Oneย and voiced him afterward inย Star Wars Rebelsย andย Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order.ย Matt Lanter’s also had a voice role as Anakin Skywalker inย the Clone Warsย andย Rebels,ย before appearing as a Rebel trooper in the first season ofย The Mandalorian.
Mercedes Varnado/Sasha Banks as Koska Reeves
As teased in the first trailer for this season, WWE superstar Sasha Banks also made herย Star Warsย debut this past week playing Koska Reeves, another Mandalorian part of Bo-Katan’s group. Credited as Mercedes Varnado on the show, the actor appeared alongside Bo-Katan and Simon Kassianides’ Axe Woves, speaking of which…
Simon Kassianides as Axe Woves
Fans around these parts likely recognized Kassianides fromย Agents of SHIELD.ย While in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the actor played HYDRA-adjacent Sunil Bakshi. The actor’s also earned credits inย Quantum of Solace, Smooch,ย andย Burn Notice.
Titus Welliver as Imperial Captain
Titus Welliver also made hisย Star Warsย debut, playing the Imperial Captain of a freighter transporting stolen Mandalorian goods. Welliver’s biggest role to date likely comes as the Man in Black in ABC’s Lost. Coincidentally enough, he also had a major role inย Deadwood,ย a show that’s had three alumni appear in the latest season of The Mandalorianย โ Welliver, Olyphant, and W. Earl Brown.
Kevin Dorff as Imperial Deck Officer
If you look closely at the aforementioned freighter, you’ll also notice Kevin Dorff, a mainstay across NBC’s most famous sitcoms. At one point, the comedian practically got his own episode onย Parks and Recย after he mentioned during a focus group Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler) didn’t seem all too personable. If you preferย The Officeย toย Parks,ย you’ll notice him as the guy who the chocolate turtles โ if you know, you know. He has also had a guest role on Brooklyn Nine-Nineย as Hank the Bartender.
Misc.
Other special guest appearances include Misty Rosasa and Dee Bradley Baker as the Frog Lady, a cameo by Giancarlo Esposito’s Moff Gideon, and Alexander Wraith (Agents of SHIELD) and Philip Alexander (Stargate Origins)ย as a pair of Imperial officers on Trask.
