In the penultimate episode of the season, two Stormtroopers picked up the child at the center of the series (known on the internet as [Baby Yoda](https://time.com/5731562/baby-yoda-memes-explained/)) to carry to villain Moff Gideon (Giancarlo Esposito). But at the beginning of the final episode, the troopers are stalled, receiving a dispatch that Gideon is in a mood and killed his own Stormtrooper just for disagreeing with him. The two Stormtroopers, played by Sudeikis (_Saturday Night Live_, _30 Rock_) and Adam Pally (_Happy Endings,_ _The Mindy Project_), shoot the breeze as they wait for their orders. They argue and try to shoot at a can and repeatedly miss. (Stormtroopers have never been particularly good shots, as our hero Mando joked in a previous episode.) The exchange is funny until it isn’t. Appallingly, the Stormtroopers try to quiet the small child by punching him. Fans were not happy with their behavior. > [](https://twitter.com/idk8lynn/status/1210587164167352320) > [](https://twitter.com/StrongHeather/status/1210612708619509763) > [](https://twitter.com/secretary%5Fsnark/status/1210712092996587522) The troopers both get their comeuppance, however, when droid IG-11 (Taika Waititi) takes them out in order to fulfill his nursing protocol for The Child. Sudeikis and Pally join a long line of actors who have made secret cameos in _Star Wars_ movies and shows. Simon Pegg was hidden under an alien costume in _The_ _Force Awakens_ as the junk dealer Unkar Plutt on Jaku. Daniel Craig even donned a Stormtrooper uniform to play the hapless guard that Rey convinces to let her go, testing her Jedi mind trick abilities for the first time, in that same movie. Joseph Gordon Levitt hid behind an alien mask to play a gambler named Slowen Lo upset that Finn and Rose parked their ship on the beach in _The_ _Rise of Skywalker_. Tom Hardy played a stormtrooper in that film, but his scene—in which he congratulates an undercover Finn on his apparent promotion, not realizing that Finn defected to the Resistance—was sadly cut. And Bill Hader and Ben Schwartz have been voicing droid BB-8 in the latest trilogy of films. Jon Favreau, the creator of _The Mandalorian_, has covertly appeared in several Star Wars projects as Pre Vizsla in _Star Wars_: _The_ _Clone Wars_, the Ardennian pilot Rio Durant in _Solo: A Star Wars Story_ and the Mandalorian Paz Vizla in _The Mandalorian_—but never once has Favreau shown his face. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5756141/jason-sudeikis-the-mandalorian/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5756141/jason-sudeikis-the-mandalorian/"},"headline":"Jason Sudeikis' Stormtrooper Punched Baby Yoda in The Mandalorian Finale and Fans Are Not Pleased","datePublished":"2019-12-28T02:49:44.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-24T07:58:44.634Z","description":"The actor plays a stormtrooper in the Star Wars series","url":"https://time.com/5756141/jason-sudeikis-the-mandalorian/","keywords":["Television"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt89ad23ab694e14a6/698a081b011682c71097ec16/jason-sudeikis-mandalorian.jpeg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Eliana Dockterman","jobTitle":"Correspondent","url":"https://time.com/author/eliana-dockterman/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt89ad23ab694e14a6/698a081b011682c71097ec16/jason-sudeikis-mandalorian.jpeg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"jason-sudeikis-mandalorian","caption":"Jason Sudeikis The Mandalorian","creditText":"Disney","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/television/","name":"Television"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5756141/jason-sudeikis-the-mandalorian/","name":"Jason Sudeikis' Stormtrooper Punched Baby Yoda in The Mandalorian Finale and Fans Are Not Pleased"}}]}] ```
