Did you catch all of the cameos in "The Mandalorian's episode six? The first season of of the Star Wars TV series "The Mandalorian's is coming to a close faster than I Han Solo can make the Kessel Run. With only two more episodes left we're gunna have to say goodbye to baby Yoda and brand new baby Yoda memes before we know it. (sipping) But that's not stopping the show from keeping their foot on the accelerator as they rocket to what we can only assume will be some sort of explosive conclusion. In this week's Chapter 6 the prisoner was jam packed with action tension and once again proved why fans are waking up super early on Friday mornings; or staying up late on Thursday nights to watch it before they go to work. - Loock at ya. Asleep on the job old man. - [Dan Casey] Fans praised the episode slick action, badass fight scenes countless guest stars, and gushed over that sweet baby Yoda who pulled it's own version of Home Alone aboard the Razor Crest. However what really has everyone buzzing around the water cooler was this veritable murderers row of celebs in the Sci-Fi and pop culture space that popped up in outer space as guest stars in cameos in this episode. So who'd we see? And why was that one voice so familiar? (robotic grunt) Well before we get into it I have to say this episode will contain spoilers for episode six of the Mandalorian, if for some reason you blacked out and just woke up in this point in the episode. So turn away now if you haven't seen it yet but, if you're sticking around give us a like and subscribe while your at it. (spaceship rattleing) Folks the Mandalorian has not shied away from star studded guest spots in the past with everyone from the likes of Brian Posey, Horatio Sands in the first episode to Amy Sedaros and Ming Na Wade in last weeks chapter. But the prisoner was defiantly more packed to the gills with the guest stars than usual so let's run down everyone we saw and figure out where from the Galaxy much much closer we remember them from. This episode start with the Mandelorian docking on the space station and a job from an old colleague of his named Ranzar Malk, played by Mark Boone Jr. Who you may recognize from Sons or Anarchy, 30 Days of Night and Batman Begins. Mando finds out that the job is to spring a prisoner from a maximum security New Republic prison transport staffed by droids. He's gonna have to work with a team of nareduelles to make it happen. It's let by the former (sarcastic chuckle) Imperial Sharp Shooter. - [Mayfield] I wasn't a storm trooper wise ass. - Named Mayfield, played by Bill Burr. He's one of the many comedians who have popped up in this series so far. And you might recognize him from showing up in things like, Breaking Bad, Chappelle Show, or his own animated Netfilx series F is for Family. Also on the team is the Twi'lek Xi'an, played by Natalia Tena. - [Storm Tooper] Nice to see you too. - I missed you. - Now if that voice was familiar underneath those purple prosthetics, that's because Tena's showed up in plenty of nerdy properties. From playing Tonks in Harry Potter to being Osha in Game of Thrones. Remember Game of Thrones? - I've missed you. - [ Dan Casey] Now this tall drink of water is a devaronian named Burg. (explosion) Named for the hamburger he so closely resembles. Played by someone who's solidly been in the nerd landscape for decades. The venerable and inimitable Clancy Brown. He has one of the best voices in the biz, and shows up in everything from like, Highlander to Starship Trooper to (mumbles) become human. He was great in that game. He's also voiced Lex Luther, and of course the one and only Mister Crabs. (cackling) As for the droid Zero who chased the wee baby Yoda around the Razor Crest, well if you're a fan of quality British cult-classic programming, like The IT Crowd, Garth Marenghi's Darkplace, The Mighty Boosh, so on and so forth. But you'll definitely recognize this as the voice of Richard Iowata. - Don't worry Mandalorian. My response time is quicker than organics. - [Dan Casey] He also shows up in every British panel show under the sun, which is honestly something we should start doing in America. I mean, it doesn't even have to be panel shows, just put Richard Iowata on everything. Now once this murderous team is aboard the transport, we see one of the prisoners is a four-armed Ardennian, which we're going to go out on a limb here and say is a call back to Rio Durant and Solo: A Star Wars Story. A member of the same species voiced by one, Jon Favreau. Remember him? While on board they also run into a New Republic officer, but who is this cameo? Well if you guessed Wyatt Logan from Timeless, congrats! You're our former producer Aaron Veil and literally no one else. Sorry Timeless fans. But if you guessed that this guy's also Anikan Skywalker well good news, you'd be correct too! Matt Lanter voiced Anikan in the Clone Wars cartoon and will voice him again when the series returns for one last season. As for the titular prisoner they're breaking our Xi'an's brother Quinn, he's played by Ismael Crz Cordova and it just tickled all of our collective fancies that this guy plays a completely unrelated character named Mando on Sesame Street. Or are they related? - Funny - But these weren't the only cameos that you may have seen. Did you notice that trio of New Republic pilots at the episodes end? Well they were played by series writer/ producer/ director Dave Filoni, as well as Mando episode directors Deborah Chow and this episodes director Rick Famuyiwa. In fact Famuyiwa not only directed this episode but episode two, as well. And Chow directed the fan favorite third episode "The Sin" And she's also said to be in charge of the upcoming Ob-wan Kenobi Disney Plus series and if you want proof why, just watch episode three again! Jesus Christ, that episode f@#%ing slaps. - This is the way - [Chorus] This is the way. - Now all in all the Mandalorian had managed to 'wow' fans with talent both in front of and behind the camera. And we honestly can't wait to see what they have planned for the final two episodes of this season. - Don't you agree? - But what do you folks think? Did you enjoy "The Prisoner"? I loved this episode. Did we miss any other cameos in this episode? And did you remember that the next episode actually comes out next Wednesday instead of Friday, because of a little movie coming out next Friday called "The Rise of Skywalker"? - Good - Anyway, thanks again to "Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order" for sponsoring for sponsoring today's episode.
