Well that was all kinds of awesome. As soon as I saw the X-wing I had a good feeling it was Luke, and then of course the black robe and the green lightsaber gave it away. Also, I may have squealed like a little kid during that entire sequence.
I too was kinda hoping it would be Sebastian Stan when he pulled back his hood, but after watching it a couple of times, I'm cool with the digital de-aging. In fact I think they did a better job on this one compared to Tarkin and Leia in Rogue One. I couldn't tell right away if it was really Mark Hamill's voice, but he's listed in the credits, so obviously it was him. I'm assuming this was probably just a cameo and we likely won't see him again in this series.
Regardless, that was incredibly entertaining and surprising. This show just continues to deliver in so many ways. By far the best Star Wars content since Empire Strikes Back IMO. Can't wait to see what they have in store for S3.
The post-credits sequence was great.
