Fans are fuming about Lizzo and Jack Black’s cameo appearance in the Star Wars universe, and are slamming “The Mandalorian” as an epic fail.
The latest episode features Lizzo, Black, and Christopher Lloyd, and fans aren’t vibing with the newcomers. Lizzo played a character called The Duchess and Black played the role of her husband, Bombardier, an ex-Imperial facilities planning officer. In their big scene, Lizzo formed a bond with Grogu (Baby Yoda,) and fans had a lot to say about all these changes.
This is the worst “#StarWars” I have ever seen! @Jon_Favreau & @BryceDHoward you should be ashamed and embarressed for making this garbage! If you thought #Grogu jumping was an embarrassing scene, check this out! #TheMandalorian #Mando #DisneyStarWarsIsntStarWars pic.twitter.com/Nee8e4qAbt

NotTheBee headlined an article, “Disney put Jack Black and Lizzo in an episode of ‘The Mandalorian’ to kill Star Wars entirely.”
“It’s not even the cameos or the side quests, it’s the off-genre story trying to be deep while completely ignoring what Star Wars is. You can’t tell a story when you don’t understand the base material,” another user wrote, the outlet reported.
