To celebrate rejoining the Rebel Alliance, Best posted a gym selfie of him wearing a shirt with the Jedi Order symbol on it. Shows what we know, since it now turns out this game show host is also who the Jedi Temple trusts Baby Yoda with when the order was given to kill all Jedi. That’s a lot of Star Wars nonsense to throw at a person, so we’ll back up.

The Mandalorian Is Star Wars' Apology To Jar Jar Actor Ahmed Best (Screen Rant)

Jar Jar Binks actor Ahmed Best's role in The Mandalorian season 3 is the best way for him to return to a franchise that's maligned him for too long.

In any case, Ahmed Best’s return to Star Wars in The Mandalorian is a triumphant one, one that represents the best of what Star Wars has to offer: hope, compassion, and rebellion against the evil forces of the world. Perhaps Beq and Best will also appear in Star Wars animation, or the books and comics.

Best has had a long history in the Star Wars franchise, portraying and voicing the Gungan Jar Jar Binks in the Star Wars prequel trilogy and Star Wars: The Clone Wars, a cameo role in Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones as Achk Med-Beq, and more recently, Best hosted a canonical game show called Star Wars: Jedi Temple Challenge, in which he portrayed Jedi Master Kelleran Beq. Jedi Master Kelleran Beq, played by Best, is the one who brought Grogu to safety, making Kelleran a critical character not only in the context of The Mandalorian, but within Star Wars’ entire history – a victorious return for an actor who was unfairly treated by the franchise’s fanbase for far too long.
