The final moments of the thriller series mirrored a scene ripped straight from the MCU playbook. A triumphant Jedi Knight, Vernestra Rwoh, striding into a dimly lit chamber, wherein a cloaked figure sat in meditation, bathed in an ethereal glow. As the camera panned around, the gasp-inducing reveal hits: Master Yoda, looking a little less wrinkled but every bit the wise sage.
This Yoda cameo isn’t just a fan-service Easter egg. It’s a masterfully executed move that echoes the post-credits stingers that revolutionized the MCU. Just like Nick Fury’s surprise appearance inIron Man, Yoda’s presence sets the stage for future connections within theStar Warsuniverse.
