Here are the biggest surprises and twists from The Rescue:
(SPOILERS AHEAD)
1. Luke Skywalker and R2-D2
The biggest twist in the episode has to be the appearance of Luke Skywalker and the droid R2-D2. A de-aged Mark Hamill was part of the episode as Din Djarin and others found themselves facing the dreaded Dark Troopers (battle droids). And then Luke Skywalker arrived and began to rip through the Dark Troopers like a hot knife through butter. The appearance, the fight choreography, the de-aging effect everything was top-notch.
2. Grogu leaves with Luke
It appears this was not a one-off appearance by Mark Hamill. The episode had Grogu leaving with Luke to train in the ways of the Jedi. So it is safe to assume that we are going to see more of Hamill’s de-aged visage.

Project Power is about a pill that gives temporary superpowers to the consumer. There is a catch, though. One would not know what superpower will be unlocked before popping one. The superpowers can range from bullet-proof skin to invisibility to superhuman strength. Also, the pill can be fatal. The film starred Jamie Foxx, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and Dominique Fishback.
Project Power is a strange beast. On the one hand, it appears to be trying to critique the superhero culture, and on the other, it undermines that aspect by showing superpowers in a favourable light. Yet, it ends up being way more entertaining than it has a right to be.
