Really, the only options are (in order of likelihood) -

Cobb Vanth
The ex- Imperial from the first few episodes
Cad Bane
Gina's character
Boba Fett

With the way they are building out these stories, this goes left unresolved.

I really thought Baby Yoda was going to lead us into TROS in some small way, but since it comes out Thursday / Friday and there are 2 episodes left and they haven't really developed his story since week 2, I admit I was completely wrong. I still think the story and universe building factor is too great here, so I wonder if somehow they are going to try and tie all their Disney+ stuff together. I wonder if this will flash back somehow to the Obi Wan series and one of his side quests has something to do withBaby Yoda.

Is Cad Bane rumored to be in anything beyond Clone Wars? That would be pretty cool if so. I"m still way behind on CW, but I've seen a few episodes now with him. Like his character.

For this season maybe, but if Filoni is involved in overall direction I'd expect an answer at some point.

Still less than 100.

Who is Cobb Vanth?
Show seems to be steering clear of using existing characters from other SW properties.

No, no rumors. But behind Ahsoka, Cad Bane is Filoni's favorite form what I hear. I wouldn't be surprised if he tried to work him in somehow.

I think there was some EU stuff with Cad Bane that enhanced his popularity prior to the Disney acquisition. Other popular characters from TCW besides Ahsoka were Rex and Hondo. Rex, Ahsoka, and Hondo all appeared in Rebels.

There's still a dangling thread left over from Rebels with Ahsoka and Sabine going to search for Ezra post Battle of Endor. I don't know if we will get that story any time soon though.

My main hope for The Mandalorian season 2 is we get more of an overarching narrative. Maybe I'm spoiled by the storytelling in The Watchmen, but the largely disconnect episodic nature of Mandalorian season one is my one disappointment.
Thanks and gig'em

Right there with you. It honestly has me a little worried for the future of SW on Disney+. I can't tell if this will be the format for all shows going forward, or if Favreau just isn't a great match, script-wise / they went super episodic because they felt it best for this particular story. Because I can't imagine the Obi-Wan series going this route.

Obi Wan is a miniseries, so it will be an overarching story for sure.

Episode 6 ruled. It looked very different than other episodes and probably the least "like Star Wars," but it was a great episode. Mando kicking ass, looking like he killed the other crew only to find out he didn't. A great team-up sort of episode that left a lot for later. And great guest stars to boot.

As a connoisseur of droids, btw, I thought Zero was a really cool one.

This series is basically Firefly. You have the episodic nature with a lot of mysterious backstory and an overarching mystery in Baby Yoda that echoes that of River Tam. Some of the episodes co next directly and some are more standalone. Lots of allies and enemies left in Mando's wake that will come back up later. Even a lot of the aesthetic is the same, which makes sense because Firefly borrowed so heavily from Star Wars.

Loving the ride. I expect the last couple of episodes to be connected both to each other and to the overall Baby Yoda plot.

Other Star Wars series have tightened up from season to season and spent less time on side tangents. Would make sense here as well.

I think just being in the Star Wars world and having these self-contained stories within it has been great.

I was a huge fan of the X-files and while the mythology episodes were so great, the inbetween cases created a larger palette that was awesome to explore.

If every Star Wars, Marvel, etc. series sets up with this established TV structure, I think it only helps.

I do understand that only having an 8-part first season makes it a little more frustrating, but every moment of the Mando's journey isn't going to have extreme global-sized effects. And that's okay to me.

They've still kept the overarching narrative (breaking from the Guild to protect the Child) as a key plot point in every episode.

Considering the revolt from fans on the lack of story arc with the final trilogy, surely they learned from that and are not repeating it here. Maybe it really is just the nature of this particular series to be more episodic.

Favreau wrote the first 4 which were part of a continuous arc. He did not write 5 or 6, but is returning for the last two so hopefully that means they are returning to the main arc

I thought all the crew (except the droid) sucked, for the most part. Glad Mando hunted them down.

It's just the feeling of last episode versus the first three episodes. Like, either could make for a great TV show, but having them both in only an eight episode season just feels weird.

The other thing is you could deal with an episodic show if there was even a nod to the larger arc. Even an occasional line of dialogue that Mando is at least considering some kind of longer term plan might be enough.

Didn't realize that was the case, but confirms the exact suspicions I mentioned in this thread. He had about a movie's worth of story, then they decided to add some filler and stretch it into a season of television.

It hasn't necessarily been bad (except for ep 5 imo), but it definitely does feel this way.

Episode 6 sure seemed to pull a lot of 'inspiration' from DC. From Harley Quinn to Hellboy and Black Manta, it really seemed derivative.

It's a show about Mando. A old western style. Firefly.

Enjoy what they give you.

If you enjoy what you're given, good for you. If others aren't as satisfied, that's fine too.
