The latest season of The Mandalorian also brought with it one of the most unexpected Star Wars comebacks of recent times, with Jar Jar Binks actor Ahmed Best returning to the role of Kelleran Beq during Din Grogu's flashbacks to Order 66 in Chapter 20: The Foundling.

But rather than acting as a one and done appearance from the Jedi Master who helped bring the little green legend to safety amidst the attack of the clones, it appears both the actor and minds behind the series aren't content with this being the end.

Best would go as far as to state his truth during a recent interview with StarWars.com, saying that he wants this to be "a new beginning" for him in the galaxy far, far away, "especially through Kelleran Beq."

And Jon Favreau in particular appears to share this feeling, claiming to Entertainment Weekly that, with Beq now existing "squarely in Star Wars canon", the mind behind The Mandalorian also wants "to learn more about that character."

So, based on these comments alone, it looks like Best's time in the Star Wars sphere may be far from over.
