Christopher Lloyd cameoed in Season 3 of The Mandalorian - here's your guide to who he plays in the Star Wars universe.

I didn’t give up to the Empire. When confronted, he threatens to transform the planet’s “docile workforce back into battle droids and unleash them upon the unsuspecting citizens of Plazir.” He then explains his motives: “I didn’t give up to the corrupt Republic. Helgait then shows them a series of “isolated events” in which droids malfunction and cause chaos. “The droids reprogramming was a complete success. But the people have a problem due to droids running amok.

Shocking 'Mandalorian' Cameo Finally Solves A Star Wars Prequel ... (Inverse)

In a star-studded episode of 'The Mandalorian,' one aspect of Star Wars lore is finally explained: How did The Clone Wars really end?

By depicting Helgait as a fanatic who also loves droids, The Mandalorian reminds us that the events of the Clone Wars weren’t that long ago and that everything in the Star Wars saga — at least when it comes to the live-action shows and the movies — unfolds over the course of less than a century. The history of the Star Wars galaxy might seem carved up because of the way we’ve watched it happen, but for the people who lived through it, Count Dooku, the Clone Wars, and hiring a droid army to do your dirty work, all happened very, very recently. [Revenge of the Sith](https://www.inverse.com/entertainment/star-wars-prequel-theory-palpatine-obi-wan-anakin), meaning, that in just over three decades there have been three dominant galactic powers — the Republic, the Empire, and the New Republic. The Mandalorian takes place about a decade after the events of A New Hope and about five years after Return of the Jedi. The denouement of the episode reveals that Commissioner Helgait is the one who has been reprogramming the droids, and his motivations are directly from the Star Wars prequels. In a truly shocking series of cameos, Mando Season 3, Episode 6 just dug deep into a strange mystery from the Star Wars prequels and revealed a slightly more complicated backstory than we’d previously assumed.

Was Christopher Lloyd's Mandalorian Character In The Clone Wars ... (Screen Rant)

Commissioner Helgait, Christopher Lloyd's The Mandalorian character, is connected to Count Dooku, but was he in Star Wars: The Clone Wars?

In other words, the Separatists lost the war to the Republic first. Fennec Shand, for example, was introduced in The Mandalorian season 1 as a highly experienced bounty hunter, and reappeared in animation in Star Wars: The Bad Batch season 1 decades earlier. It's perhaps significant that The Mandalorian season 3, episode 6 even felt a bit like a legacy episode from Star Wars: The Clone Wars, even in terms of pacing. He may have been a Separatist, with dialogue hinting he may have even crossed paths with Count Dooku, but Commissioner Helgait does not appear in Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Helgait was a Separatist, someone who believed Count Dooku to be a visionary, and was therefore opposed to restoring the New Republic even after the Empire had fallen. Din Djarin’s complicated history with droids set the tone for The Mandalorian season 3, episode 6, which revisited a lot of elements from Star Wars: The Clone Wars.

'The Mandalorian' 3x06: Who Did Lizzo, Jack Black, Christopher ... (TVLine)

Great Scott! "The Mandalorian" 3x06 served up a "Special" guest star or three with the sixth episode of Season 3.

— the best episode of the season, directed by franchise vet Bryce Dallas Howard. The episode title, “Guns For Hire,” referred to what Bo-Katan’s Nite-Owl pals are now up to, but it just as much could be a nod to the many unannounced guest stars, which rolled out throughout what was arguably — faint praise alert? [As Bo-Katan (Katee Sackhoff) aimed to round up and unite Mandalorians from all walks of ways, she and Din (Pedro Pascla, at least some of the time) were led to Plazir-15, a democratic planet whose elected leaders were played by Jack Black (as Captain Bombardier) and Lizzo (as the Duchess).](https://tvline.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/mandalorian-3x06-lizzo-jack-black.jpeg)
