    I’ve read that the first cameo was just to get people to spend THAT week talking about the Benjamin Bratt re-cast so they’d be calmed down by the time he had something important to do.

      Oh that’s very interesting. Personally it never occurred to me as something to get upset by. Obviously the actor from 2002 is probably not going to be a great fit to continue playing the character in 2025.

        Yeah I’m not that upset about it, but I was at least a bit disappointed that Jimmy Smits couldn’t make it work with his schedule. That’s all it was though, a scheduling conflict. He played the role as recently as 2022 in the Obi-Wan show.
