While the fandom grieves, the friends and co-stars of the late Carl Weathers – the man not only behind the character of Greef Karga but also behind the camera on season 2’s The Siege and season 3’s The Foundling – have taken to social media to express their own sorrow at his passing.

Many of his co-stars from The Mandalorian shared their thoughts.
The Mandalorian creator Jon Favreau shared his own thoughts.
“I am heartbroken by this devastating loss. He was a hero from my childhood who I was lucky enough to meet and then had the amazing good fortune to work with. He had the energy and curiosity of a young man paired with the wisdom that his rich life and career afforded him. My heart goes out to his family and countless admirers.”
I turned around, the first drips already on my hands. It was Apollo Creed himself!
"Ice cream SAAAANDWICH!" he bellowed.
He winked his approval at me. I floated the rest of the day.
Had a lot more time with Carl on the show, but nothing will top that first moment. #RIP
