Now, Reed is taking time out of his day to say thanks too. “Dear [Mark Hamill], when I was a kid, this photo hung on my bedroom wall,” Reed posted. “Star Wars, and Luke Skywalker in particular, meant a great deal to me. Some things never change. It was an honor and a dream come true to work with you on [The Mandalorian]. Thank you. [May the Force Be With You]”

The Mandalorianseason 3 does not have a release date at the moment. ButThe Book of Boba Fettwill arrive in December of this year. At first there was some confusion as to what was happening. Some fans thought that the Bounty Hunter series was taking over forThe Mandalorian, but Jon Favreau quickly clarified and revealed that the two shows are separate from each other. This just means that fans are going to have to wait a bit longer to see if Din Djarin and Baby Grogu will be reunited. You can check outPeyton Reed’s official Twitterthank you to Mark Hamill above.
