One of the neat things about Jon Favreau’s Disney+ sensation The Mandalorian was the way it resisted the urge—as very few Star Wars projects have—to jam a bunch of established characters into the mix to get people to give it a shot. Barring the existence of an IG-88 droid, a spit-roasted Salacious Crumb, and the tenuous link to canon that is Baby Yoda, the series was mostly confident to let new characters take the stage, rather than trying to find a way to shoehorn in an appearance from a (very dead by this point) Darth Vader. (It’s the rare Star Wars series that offers more cameos from Comedy Bang Bang alums than it does Jedi or Sith.)
