At a time when trying to execute a genuinely stunning surprise on the small or big screen has never been more difficult, the fact Jon Favreau and the gang were able to keep The Mandalorian's Season Two finale shocker completely under wraps was seriously impressive.

Heading into the closing stages of Chapter 16, Mando and the gang looked to be in some serious trouble as The Dark Troopers closed in on their position. But then, a rather familiar X-Wing suddenly lands on the cruiser.

One of the most emotionally-charged dispatching of droids sequences to ever grace the galaxy far, far away later, the all-but confirmed return of none other than Luke bloody Skywalker himself was finally made official thanks to some digital wizardry and a returning Mark Hamill.

With the episode itself dropping in the thick of the global pandemic, fans the world over found themselves passionately connecting online over just how damn taken aback they all were about the comeback of a character no-one honestly saw coming. And for a few moments there, one of the most difficult periods in modern history was entirely forgotten as fans lost their minds over this heart-warming return of the Jedi.
