'The Mandalorian' Season 2 Episode 8 Spoilers: Luke Skywalker entry has fans calling it 'best Star Wars content'

It is now clear that Luke was the Jedi who connected with Grogu before the kid was nabbed by Moff Gideon

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

In the end, it was tearful and a bittersweet ending as Grogu finally found a new home with Luke Skywalker and R2D2 showing up to save the green little bundle of cuteness. The Darktroopers didn't stand a chance against Luke as she smashed, cut, and choked them to shut down. It is now clear that Luke was the Jedi who connected with Grogu in Tython and came in search of him. The return of Luke Skywalker was a major fan service and even as 'The Mandalorian' will see a new season without Baby Yoda, there's a lot to look forward to.

Twitter could hardly contain its excitement as Luke showed up on the screen. "Ya'll the last few minutes of #TheMandalorian chapter 16 had my teary eyed! Luke Skywalker and R2-D2: came to collect Grogu for training! The best Star Wars content ever in a longtime. Thank you @Jon_Favreau and @dave_filoni. #LukeSkywalker #StarWars,' read one of the tweets.

"CW: #TheMandalorian | Spoilers Star Wars going with CGI Luke Skywalker instead of Sebastian Stan is probably the best decision they ever made," reckoned one of the fans. "I'm literally on the verge of having a heart attack now that we have Luke Skywalker in the Mandalorian, Boba Fett rules Jabbas Palace, and the fact that Din is actually the newest Mandalore," read a comment. " didn't knew I needed a "Luke Skywalker crushing darktroopers" cameo untill I saw this #TheMandalorian #StarWars" seconded another.

"#MandalorianQnA Luke Skywalker “played” by Mark Hamill, what a way to end the season. Since Luke is going to train Grogu, do you think he survives and escapes when Kylo Ren kills the padawans or will he be killed too?" asked one of the fans. "God damn they really did a great job giving us the Luke Skywalker we all wanted back and not some bitch version in the new movies," a fan opined. "BROO (spoilers) BUT THE MANDALORIAN SEASON 2 WAS A BANGER they brought back luke skywalker in the final episode and the end screen with boba fett is just perfect," a fan wrote.
