Thanks to de-aging technology, Skywalker was able to take Grogu as his Padawan approximately five years after Star Wars: Episode VI – Return of the Jedi (1983).

On December 29, 2021, the “next chapter” in the “Mando-verse,” The Book of Boba Fett, debuted on the Disney+ streaming platform. While initial reception was a bit chilly, Star Wars fans and critics alike are beginning to come around after the second episode aired.
Now, leading man Temuera Morrison (Boba Fett) has teased a cameo so incredible it just might “steal the show” from him and Ming-Na Wen (Fennec Shand).

Although rumors abound that a number of popular Star Wars characters, including Grogu, Emilia Clarke’s Qi’ra and Crimson Dawn, Pascal’s Djarin, and Timothy Olyphant’s Marshal Cobb Vanth could show up in The Book of Boba Fett, the biggest potential cameo is, of course, a young Han Solo — CGI, obviously
The rumor of Solo’s return to the Star Wars franchise is bolstered by reports that 79-year-old Harrison Ford spent three days in London filming for a CGI appearance in Favreau and Filoni’s latest series.

After all, Fett and the Millennium Falcon pilot have serious history — who could forget the Sarlacc pit?
