Which iconic Jedi appears at the end of Season 2?

The iconic Jedi who appears at the end of Season 2 is Luke Skywalker. He arrives aboard Moff Gideon’s light cruiser, destroys the Dark Trooper squad, and takes Grogu away to continue his Jedi training.

Luke’s arrival occurs during “Chapter 16: The Rescue,” after Din Djarin and his allies have captured Gideon and are trapped on the bridge. A lone X-wing lands, and a hooded Jedi cuts through the Dark Troopers with a green lightsaber. The episode then reveals his identity when he lowers his hood.

This appearance takes place after the original trilogy but before the events of the sequel trilogy. Luke is portrayed using Mark Hamill’s likeness, digital de-aging, visual effects, and a body double. R2-D2 accompanies him when he departs with Grogu.

Viewers sometimes confuse the scene with an appearance by Obi-Wan Kenobi because both are famous Jedi associated with the Skywalker family. However, the episode explicitly identifies the arriving Jedi as Luke, making him the sole canonical answer.
