It turns out that the famous youtuber Shamok created a deepfake of Skywalker using the same scenes from the final chapter of The mandalorian 2. The result was incredibly convincing, some consider it to surpass the effects of the actual episode, although the audio is slightly off. But, “judge for yourself” below the real scene and then the comparison in the video with the deepfake version of Shamok.
In the season 2 finale of The Mandalorian, the bounty hunter delivers to Grogu (better known as Baby Yoda) into the open arms of a Jedi. But not just any Jedi: the young Luke Skywalker.
