OH MY GAWD IT'S LUKE!!!!!
Okay, cough, sorry. During the course of the second season it became clear that Grogu (as is Baby Yoda's name) would contact a Jedi, and speculation ran rife on the internet. My money was on Ezra Bridger...
But Luke wasn`t the top of the lister, because Mark Hamill has aged quite a bit since Return of the Jedi (which is only a few years before the events of the Mandalorian) and the series avoided bringing in the characters of Legendary status.
But... after a season that was rife with first time action series appearances from cartoon characters (Ahsoka, Bo-Katan,...) and the return of an ages presumed dead character (well, not in the now no longer canon legends series novels, but in the Disney timeline he still was) Boba Fett and his Slave 1... the unimaginable DID happen.
Din's quest, which spanned 8 episodes this season, led to Luke coming to them in their hour of darkest need and collect Grogu to train him in the ways of the Force.
Of course, that overarching arc isn`t the only thing that happened in the season, but the conflict with Moff Gideon was a red line through the whole series. It was a fantastic year once again, with some hilarious episodes and moments, in what is indeed the saviour of the franchise after the Abrams monstrosities...
I am just genuinly amazed there is apparently coming a third season, this would have been the ultimate highpoint to end a great story!
