Lizzo Just Showed Up In 'The Mandalorian' & Fans Say She 'Manifested' Her Baby Yoda Moment
"I'm in Star Wars YALL!"
Jack Black and Lizzo on the set of "The Mandalorian." Right: Lizzo's Baby Yoda Halloween costume in 2021.
Star Wars fans got a double surprise in the latest episode of The Mandalorian on Disney+, when Lizzo and Jack Black made surprise cameos in a scene with little Grogu (a.k.a. Baby Yoda).
The pair pop up as alien royalty in Episode 6 of the show, which is currently into its third season on Disney+, and while their appearances were unexpected, they've generated plenty of reactions among fans.
"I'm in Star Wars YALL!" she wrote on Instagram.
Lizzo in particular is getting a ton of love for playing the long game and "manifesting" the cameo, after she donned a Baby Yoda costume for Halloween 2021.
"Lizzo manifested herself in star wars," wrote on fan on Twitter. "We really love to see it."
We won't spoil the whole thing, but at one point Lizzo "knights" Baby Yoda and she later gets to hold him, so she clearly got to have some fun in the role.

However, not everyone was feeling the love. Some fans ripped the cameos on social media and suggested that the two looked very out of place in a galaxy far, far away.

Lizzo's cameo is also being compared to a guest appearance by Megan Thee Stallion in last year's Marvel series She-Hulk. That cameo ended with the singer and She-Hulk (Tatiana Maslany) twerking in a law office.
The star-studded Mandalorian episode also featured Christopher Lloyd, the 84-year-old star of Back To The Future.
