Well it almost has to be Mando. I'd say that's all but certain given the musical cue.

Sure but multiple Mandalorians would be infinitely better.

I think someone needs to put this song behind the Vespa chase by the way.

My hope is for more bounty hunters instead of more Mandalorians. This show is a perfect opportunity to bring more in. Off the top of my head, the ones that should still be alive:

  • Bossk
  • Cad Bane (especially have an interaction between him and Fennec Shand over the whole Omega fight in Bad Batch)
  • IG-88 (or at least one iteration of it)
  • Dengar
  • Embo

I'm sure there's more, but seeing Bossk and Cad Bane in particular would be incredible. It seems that having Trandoshans sets at least Bossk up, but guess we'll see.

What are the current canon interactions between Fett and Solo/Chewbacca? Other than Empire, are there any other instances in the post Disney era?

Yep; I was just about to ask if anyone else noticed the musical notes at the end when Fennec said they'd need muscle.

I'm going to go with the Battlestar Galactica chick and her cohorts. They're more mercenaries than Mando is at this point.

Hope chewie doesn't show up, he would get his arms ripped off by angry roided wookie.

I seriously doubt we get Bo-Katan or any other Mandalorians, if only because of how Mando S2 ended, and what it set up for S3. With Mando now the rightful owner of the Darksaber, all signs point to S3 being about him having to be a reluctant leader of sorts in taking back Mandalore, and potentially clashing with Bo-Katan in doing so. So, to me, it would feel weird to pause that and have them all go help Boba Fett & co yet again. Remember, the only reason Bo-Katan and Koska Reeves agreed to help out Mando at all was because there was something in it for them - the Darksaber. So, considering they already helped Mando/Boba/Fennec once, and didn't get what they wanted, I seriously doubt they're going to delay whatever plan they have now to go help them again.

Instead, my guess is that it's Mando and yeah, maybe some other bounty hunters, and that at the end of this season, is when Mando leaves to go rendezvous with Bo-Katan and Koska Reeves and the other Mandalorians - out of whatever duty he feels - to enact whatever Mandolore take-over plan they have going.

Then again, I could be totally off. What it boils down to, though, is that I just don't think they're going to do a repeat of the same gang getting back together for this climax as well, two climaxes in a row.

You mean besides Han being the reason he falls in the sarlacc pit?

Eventually we have to see how Han loses the Falcon, maybe it occurs in this series or Mando S3

Nah, just let some things be a mystery (like how the force works).

But he's technically "dead" and retired to that little planet where the Imp base was.

IG-11 would be fantastic though. Or Apollo Creed. Cmon now Stallion! Take it right to those Pykes!

I'm going to love reading y'all's reactions to Boba bringing in a troop of Ewoks to help him defeat the Pikes.

SPOILER?
Temeura said in an interview that he got to work with Ewoks, Nobody seems to know if he was legit or not.

well, he looks the same as the clones, and one of the clones was the old bearded guy on endor in ROTJ.

Also… Grogu killing Jedi or just dual wielding? He has at least two sabers.

Best episode yet. Felt like they were making up for #3.

My musings:

Slave 1 blasting the motorcycle gang was like an A-10 taking out tanks in Desert Storm. Very cool.

Going down the Sarlac Pit must be how proctologists sometimes feel.

After studying the soldiers guarding Slave 1 and saying there were too many of them, they go anyway and like Storm Troopers, the guards are all inept and terrible marksman.

In the kitchen, that rat catching droid reminded me of Dobby especially when he folded his ears back.

Couldn't understand why Black Krrisantan went crazy in the bar until my daughter reminded me of the Wookie pelt in episode 1.

Loved the depth charge sound in the Sarlac - funny how it immediately took me back to AOTC,

Please do not bring back Ewoks. They were the start of silly characters culminating in Jar Jar.

Finally got to it after a busy week. Best episode so far. Beals and the other Twi'lek know what gets the people in the door. Really looking forward to BK and BF taking out the Pykes as well as the return of Mando

Volunteering at my kids' school on Wednesday. Probably means I shouldn't stay up and watch it.

"Hey kids, who wants to get on Disney+ instead of doing math today?"

If Boba Fett can eliminate 4 guards in one minute, and Fennec can handle 3 in one minute, how long do they need to overcome 42 guards in order to break his starship out of impound?

I don't want to get my hopes up, but imagine the muscle is Mando with the dark saber, plus Bo Katan and her 2 followers, and a **** load of other Mandos from Season 1, like that guy that was 9 feet tall.

But even Mando and Boba fighting side by side is going to be pretty bad ass if it comes to pass.

or it's a triple twist, and the muscle he hires is Han and Chewie.


And since I'm back on the discussion now, should we just assume that Bossk was like the Manute Bol of Trandosshans? That guy was 7 feet tall and everyone else from the race has been a midget.
my mortal heart wouldn't be able to take that

What 2 followers? At the end of Mando S2, the guy follower was noone to be found.

OK, but I'm assuming they could get no-name actor back for another episode if necessary.
