Spoilers for 'The Mandalorian' Season 2 Episode 8: 'Chapter 16- The Rescue'

It was not the ending 'The Mandalorian' fans saw coming. While there were speculations if Ezra Bridger or Ahsoka Tano would rescue Grogu in the finale, the moment of glory belonged to Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) as he showed up to take down the Dark Troopers with absolute disdain and then take Grogu under his wings. The final minutes of 'The Mandalorian' were absolutely breath-taking and finally, it was time to say goodbye.

The ultimate act of love was seen when Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) removed his helmet and showed Grogu his face, while R2D2 welcomed the green tyke aboard. The episode saw Mando bid a tearful goodbye to his best friend and turning on the waterworks were fans on Twitter. "I’m not crying. I swear.... BEST EPISODE EVEEERRRRRRRR. #Grogu #BoKatan #LukeSkywalker #themandalorian," read one of the tweets.

"Why can’t #DinDjarin go with #Grogu ? We needed that last scene to work and destroy us. And did it ever. #TheMandalorian I can’t stop the tears. So sweet and tender and with so little dialogue. That’s the selfless love we need to believe still exists. Thank you @themandalorian," seconded another fan. Speculations about the future weren't far away. "Did #adamdriver murder #Grogu ?! @HamillHimself, we must know! Was baby yoda one of the fallen padawans?" read one of the comments soon after the episode.
