Found myself in a whole new universe. Watch now."
The episode, titled Chapter 22: Guns for Hire, was directed by Bryce Dallas Howard.

Yes, the two stars also appeared in cameos.
Despite the mixed reactions to the episode, Lloyd seemed thrilled to be a part of the Star Wars universe. The actor, who has been entertaining audiences for decades, is no stranger to science fiction and fantasy, having starred in numerous films and TV shows throughout his career.
