Who played Colonel Tuttle in Season 3 of The Mandalorian?

Tim Meadows played Colonel Tuttle in Season 3 of The Mandalorian.

Tuttle is a New Republic requisitions officer, a bureaucratic figure rather than a frontline soldier. In “Chapter 21: The Pirate,” Carson Teva contacts him after Gorian Shard attacks Nevarro and asks for military assistance. Tuttle explains that the New Republic cannot intervene because Nevarro lies outside its jurisdiction.

The role is a small but memorable guest appearance by Meadows, best known for his work on Saturday Night Live and comedy films and television series. His casting fits The Mandalorian’s recurring tradition of giving comic performers brief roles in the Star Wars galaxy.

The main mix-up is among the season’s celebrity cameos. Ahmed Best plays Jedi Master Kelleran Beq, Christopher Lloyd plays Commissioner Helgait, and Jack Black plays Captain Bombardier. None of them is Tuttle. Meadows’s character first appears in the fifth episode of season three, released on March 29, 2023.
