The Star Wars films have been in the “Oooh, secret cameo!” business for a while now, a natural consequence of an entire generation growing up in the shadow of one of the planet’s biggest sci-fi franchises, and wanting to get in on the fun. Still, there’s a pretty hefty difference between “the rich guys whose grandma rules England get to be stormtroopers” and an appearance from actual royalty, one made clear by a recent revelation that Mark Hamill—the king of Star Wars himself!—appeared in a clandestine fashion in Disney+’s The Mandalorian.
