Skywalker, as all Mandalorian fans undoubtedly know by now, made a surprise cameo appearance — thanks to CGI de-aging technology used on Mark Hamill — in the Season 2 finale, “Chapter 16: The Rescue.”
Ultimately, Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) completed his mission to deliver Grogu (AKA The Child AKA Baby Yoda) to the Jedi Order when Jedi Master Luke Skywalker showed up to save Djarin and his companions, including Cara Dune (Gina Carano), Bo-Katan Kryze (Katee Sackhoff), and Nite Owl warrior Koska Reeves (Mercedes Varando/Sasha Banks), from an Imperial Dark Trooper squadron.
Grogu — after a tearful goodbye scene with Djarin — left with Skywalker and iconic droid R2-D2. This is where Mara Jade could potentially enter The Mandalorian saga. Per Nerdist’s assessment:
…[now that he is being trained by Luke Skywalker] Grogu is going to need some help getting around. Trained in the ways of the Force or not, he’s still going to be an infant. He’s not flying ships, or likely even talking yet. So he will need an adult to escort him wherever he’s going. Normally, we’d say that person would be Luke himself. But recreating Luke in CGI as a regular character would be extremely cost-prohibitive. So instead of Grogu coming back with Luke, what if it’s another early student of Luke’s, in the form of Mara Jade?
Nerdist’s article continues:
Mara’s backstory from the Legends canon could largely remain the same. She could still be the former Emperor’s Hand, who trains under and falls in love with Luke. But given how stringent Luke is with the rules of the Jedi Order at this point, we don’t think he’d allow himself to form a romantic attachment.
Much like Obi-Wan Kenobi (voiced by Ewan McGregor) with Duchess Satine Kryze (voiced by Anna Gray) — Bo-Katan’s sister — in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, it is likely that at The Mandalorian’s point in the Star Wars timeline (approximately five years after Star Wars: Episode VI – The Return of the Jedi (1983)) Skywalker would walk away from any romantic attachment.
This could, potentially, free-up Mara Jade to be Grogu’s escort around the galaxy.
Nerdist also shared details about how they see Mara Jade’s involvement in the overarching Mandalorian storyline playing out:
As we see in the episode “The Jedi,” another Force user like Ahsoka [Ahsoka Tano (Rosario Dawson) was Anakin Skywalker’s Padawan and appeared in The Mandalorian Season 2] could connect with Grogu and translate his thoughts for everyone else. After all, that’s how Ahsoka learned Grogu’s name. Mara could be the C-3PO to Grogu’s R2, in a way. And not only could she translate for Grogu, she could also be his bodyguard. Even if the baby is Force-trained, lightsaber action is probably out of the question for him.
This is an intriguing notion and could, in theory, give Star Wars fans deeper insight into Grogu’s past — and present — as a powerful Force-sensitive being. At this time, Mandalorian showrunner and creator Jon Favreau and executive producer Dave Filoni — who also worked on Clone Wars — have not shared any details about whether or not Mara Jade could be brought into official Star Wars canon via The Mandalorian.
