Sadly, 'The Mandalorian’s' success at plucking celebrity guest stars from creator Jon Favreau’s massive rolodex without causing chaos has come to an end.
There is no way you can make me look at a hardly costumed Jack Black and Lizzo and expect me to not recognize them solely as themselves. They’re in a single scene, which makes their stunt casting even more obvious, and their characters don’t even have full names. Sorry, Favreau: You cannot argue that these two are here for any reason beyond asking you to put them in an episode.
I’m sure Lizzo specifically asked to cuddle with Baby Yoda, as the Duchess does in her literal one scene. I truly can’t blame her for that, even if I could hardly pay attention to what the heck was going on in the episode because she was there Lizzo-ing. Jack Black, too, can never convincingly be anyone but Jack Black, especially not here.
These cameos are so distracting that it’s hard to enjoy Christopher Lloyd making his Star Wars debut. Worse, it’s hard to enjoy anything thatis putting down in the episode—or perhaps even the series going forward. Season 3 has already been a bit of a slow-paced wash, spinning its wheels as it goes back and forth between
and one-off experiences. But with Jack Black and Lizzo having successfully snuck into the franchise’s canon for no meaningful reason, it may be time to admit it:
