When a series has been around as long as Star Warshas, fun cameos become almost as essential to the proceedings as The Force itself. The newest entry in The Mandalorianis no exception to that rule.

Who is Jedi Master Kelleran Beq?

If you watched the episode, you might be wondering where you've seen Beq before. That's kind of a trick question. This character has indeed appeared onscreen before, in a Star Wars-themed YouTube game show for kids.

However, I'm guessing you actuallyknow Best from his time as the voice of none other than Jar Jar Binks.
