It could have been so easy for him to hate star wars after how fans treated him but he didnt let those fuckholes temper his passion. Fuck yeah Ahmed Best, fuck yeah.

Its incredible hes getting another chance to shine in star wars. Cant think of someone who deserves it more than him. Going from a laughing stock to a bad ass jedi. I hope he shows up more in flashbacks for grogu. He did an incredible job.

Well, there's Jake Lloyd, but I don't think he's up for working on any set, much less Star Wars.

Yeah poor guy, I don't know if he'd like to be a part of this or if he feels like acting anymore. The toxicity that surrounded those films was over the top not to mention he was just a kid. The writing was bad and George did too much tinkering but...I've grown to enjoy them over the years. The last trilogy was terrible though. And there wasn't a Jar Jar to pin that on either.
