The Mandalorian Boba Fett in The Mandalorian & Spinoffs (Spoilers)

I want to make sure I understand you correctly. Are you saying Din Djarin is not connected to Death Watch, or Boba Fett? I ask because in the flashback scene we see young Din being rescued by a member of Death Watch.

 

I mean they are right in that as far as we know Boba and Din are not connected but He was literally saved by Death Watch

 

Djarin is connected, am talking about Jango/Boba.

 

That's what I thought, but the when I read that paragraph, it kept coming back to Din was not connected.

 

Now we have Katee Sackhoff as Bo Katan. Mando season 2 is about to look like a video game walk through with characters coming out left and right. I'm pumped!

 

@Darth Chuck Norris , I amended the sentence for better clarity.

People age differently and some badly cause they do not cover their faces from the sun, too much direct sun exposure(over tanning/burning), poor health, genes/hereditary, bad diet, poor fitness/overall health and well being ect. Just living on Tatooine does not explain Alec's Kenobi . His real personal genes and lifestyle explains his look in real life. I think other than wrinkles to worry about on Tatooine he could have developed skin cancer, lets face there if it were real life cause he's too depigmented and you have two suns beating down. Sand People wear complete protective gear,lol.

 

I’m totally on board for more established characters coming in rather than C level comedians. That was my biggest gripe this season. Way too Star Trek feeling to me. At least throw some prosthetics or something on their faces. /end rant because I know a lot of people seemed to have liked it. Nothing wrong with that either.

 

I really have my doubts. None of these "news" outlets have showed evidence, or even shown sources for anything. From Ahsoka, to Boba, to Bo. And we keep getting more information about more people in it. The "too good to be true" statement may apply here. Out of the three, I'd really love to see Temuera return to live action in the GFFA, but I'd rather see him return as Rex than Boba.

 

Recent canon has hinted that Jango was Mandalorian (and by extension Boba) but that they were effectively disowned by the Mandalorians after that faction was kicked out.

 

I trust Hollywood Reporter, but the rest no. I don’t. Plus they never show sources as if they did their source would be fired

 

Until an official Lucasfilm source confirms any of what THR is saying then I treat it all as rumor and nothing more.

Personally, The Mandalorian did an amazing job of using their own characters and not having to rely upon gimmicky “Hey kids, look who it is this week!” type of stunts to get people watching. It stands well on its own two feet with the characters it established and I’d like for it to stay that way.

 

I completely I agree but right now I am going into the season assuming we are seeing at least 2 returning characters. They can’t have everything not be connected

 

@Vorax Right on. Sometimes things you read or hear just don't hit right.

 

I would just rather have something new other than oh look he’s a bad guy

 

I see a lot of people mentioning his reputation is ruined but besides the main guys in ROTJ, who’d even be a witness to him getting hit by a blind guy and being stuck in the Sarlacc for some time?

 

Ok, I was just trying to understand how Boba surviving the Sarlacc would be out the question for a lot of people l(not you) but yet, WeeQuay’s brother survives a similar fall or the Barge blowing up into bits and discrediting Boba’s reputation is a priority for him

But if it’s just a theory that Han or Lando does it off-screen, that’s a discussion I’ll just leave alone for now. No way to prove or discredit it so I’ll save our time.

 

I think that will make things complicated.

I don’t know why Almec is always brought up like he’s supposed to be reliable. He’s one of the most biggest slimeballs in Clone Wars but people take that as gospel and I don’t put much weight in Pablo’s tweet either. I’m sure his tweet would’ve said Palpatine is 100% dead in 2016 too

 

Ahsoka probably to help with the Force Baby aspect. Bo-Katan because she was the last leader of the Mandalorians and she wants her joke shop lightsabre back. Boba because he's Boba...

 

Bo-Katan I can see...I have said before I would like this series to show the reunification of scattered Mandalorian Clans with her as leader.

 

Don't forget Sabine is probably the next major character to be announced. I'm really curious to see who they got to play her.

Yea, a couple of those hires actually kind of took me out of it for a second. Like, really, that guy? Not that there's anything wrong with them as comedians or as actors, but they're placement in The Mandalorian specifically definitely took a moment to get used to and then I was able to get back into the show. The Star Trek feel to it was also apparent during specific episodes, the initial crook that Mando took in also looked straight out of The Orville. Overall I was okay with it though.

To be honest, I was more concerned when it had only been the one major additional character announced some weeks ago, because it seemed to be motivated by certain agendas that LucasFilm has been criticized for making a priority over actual story. But now seeing these additional characters added makes me a lot more optimistic about it. At the end of the day, at some point, you also want to watch some good old fashion space action wizard adventure. By no means should that take precedence over story. But it's still got to be there. So for that, I'm good with it. And these characters will certainly bring it. We can't just mope around and have deep dark story lines all the time.

 

I agree Almec is not reliable. But I think they need to confirm that Almec was lying for some reason, otherwise it just looks like weird. Since TCW is fully canon as well.
