Star Wars fans were in for a treat when Lizzo and Jack Black made surprise appearances in the new episode of The Mandalorian Season 3, titled Guns for Hire. The 35-minute episode is essentially a standalone chapter in Din Djarin’s journey, aimed at entertaining viewers until some much-needed plot progression happens at the end. But what makes this episode truly memorable is the appearance of two major A-list celebrities, who play brand new characters in the Star Wars universe.

As soon as Din and Bo-Katan arrive on Plazir-15, they are summoned to meet with the planet’s leadership, which includes the royals and elected officials. And there, to their surprise, they find none other than Jack Black and Lizzo. These two stars play crucial roles in the episode, though their characters are so new that their names are not fully known yet.

Jack Black portrays Bombardier, an ex-Imperial facilities planning officer who was rehabilitated under the New Republic’s Amnesty Program. He was then sent to Plazir-15 to help rebuild the planet after the Imperial occupation. It was during this time that he fell in love with the Duchess, who is played by none other than Lizzo. The Duchess is a member of the royal family, and she knows that the way to Grogu’s heart is through his stomach.

But Lizzo and Jack Black are not the only major stars in this episode. They hire Din and Bo-Katan to deal with the city’s malfunctioning battle droids. The duo meets with Commissioner Helgait, the man in charge of the droids, who is played by none other than the legendary Christopher Lloyd.
