At the time of writing, the Star Wars account on TikTok had 81.6K followers, while this particular video had received 151.4K likes. 

Why It's Important: The iconic "Hello there" was first uttered in “Star Wars: A New Hope” in the character's introductory appearance. Later it was echoed in “Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith” and recently revisited in the Obi-Wan Kenobi limited series on Disney+

For Star Wars fans, the next stop is “The Mandalorian Season 3,” which will premiere on Mar. 1 on the Disney+ channel. The season will feature Pedro Pascal's Din Djarin wielding the Darksaber — an ancient black-laded lightsaber.
