Time passes quickly and we have already released five episodes of the third season of The Mandalorian. Din Djarin already flies on Disney+ to distribute shots, but always finds obstacles in his way. And it is that the time after the events of Return of the Jedi were not exactly peaceful.
ATTENTION SPOILERS: FROM THIS MOMENT THE PLOT OF THE SERIES WILL BE DISCUSSED WITHOUT TAPOJOS
During the events of the chapter “The Pirate”, we can see a really unexpected cameo. We are talking about nothing more and nothing less than Zeb Orrelios, one of the few members of the Lasat species that is still alive. The peculiarity of the character lies in the fact that until now we have only been able to see him in the Star Wars Rebels animated series, so this is his first appearance in live action format.
It should be remembered that the creature’s design is based on one of Ralph McQuarrie’s visual outtakes for the Wookiees and Chewbacca in the 1977 film. Far from being a curious detail to see him in the production, it should be noted that Zeb is a friend of Bo-Katan, since both fought hand to hand against the Empire.
Is it possible that Zeb joins the cause of the Mandalorian? It remains to be seen, but the truth is that the final scenes of this episode indicate that Moff Gideon has escaped from the hands of the New Republic. It is clear that a great clash of forces is coming, but it is too early to venture. It is not the first time that we have seen these jumps between series, since Ahsoka Tano will have her own string of episodes after appearing in season 2. In turn, we have been able to see Orson Krennic, the evil member of the Empire who it was so annoying in Rogue One.
In any case, people have celebrated with great joy to see Zeb after so long and, how could it be otherwise, the reactions are of all kinds.
