The Mandalorian has never shied away from referencing the original films, but the season two premiere features a few Easter eggs from Star Wars: Return of the Jedi.
Warning! Spoilers ahead for The Mandalorian season two.
Although many fans are keen to see how characters like Boba Fett and Ahsoka Tano play into The Mandalorian season two, many have already noticed some incredible references buried into the world of the space western. Obviously during the premiere episode the we saw Timothy Olyphant’s Cobb Vanth don the bounty hunter’s discarded armor to defend Mos Pelgo. But the episode also included some neat little references to Star Wars: Return of the Jedi.
One eagle-eyed fan, @coldjadedeyed, spotted a detail on the jet pack in the premiere, which showed a replacement panel to cover up the damage done to it by Han Solo in the original trilogy‘s third film. Presumably it was fixed by Cobb Vanth or the Jawas who acquired it. While the second was spotted by @maredfield, who pointed out that the text circling the hologram of the Death Star’s destruction is actually the second paragraph from Return of the Jedi‘s opening crawl. Take a look below.
The high level of artistic detail in The Mandalorian is amazing.
