Viewers have spoken, and they seem to unanimously agree that “Guns for Hire” bears a striking resemblance to a traditional episode of “Law & Order: SVU.” Many fans were baffled by the trio of special guest stars, one of which is the surprise villain of the bunch, marking a signature trope from the beloved crime series. Another user, u/travio, pointed out the culprit and quipped, “and just like Law and Order, the big guest star in a mundane role is the bad guy in the end.” They’re referring to notable screen actor Christopher Lloyd, who became both a “Star Wars” and “Star Trek” legend after his latest villainous role.
Additionally, many even took note of other recognizable details, like u/Dr_Randall_Savage, who said, “The most on-the-nose part of the whole episode was the part where they searched the body and found a matchbook advertising a local bar.” This is the key piece of evidence, following Mando and Bo-Katan’s questioning of the Ugnaughts, which introduces another familiar plot device. On the hit detective drama, interviewing citizens at their jobs often uncovers important clues that help figure out the mystery.
This leads to a nail-biting chase scene through the illuminating city streets, where Mando obtains a critical source of information from a compromised droid. They take it to a lab tech who utilizes one of the most iconic “Law & Order” lines; as u/Atraktape noted, “They even did the ‘Wait what’s that there, enhance!'” That sequence in particular cements the sprawling references to the esteemed series that fans both enjoy and even hope for more of.
