    Let’s discuss the mystery man/women?
    Was it Moff Gideon?
    Was it Boba Fett?
    Was it Cad Bane?


    Let’s discuss

    They pretty heavily teased it being Boba.

    Location: Tatooine, Boba's last seen location.
    Foreshadowing: Mando saying "She's no good to us dead" in reference to Boba's infamous line
    Characterization of the mystery person: Wears a cape and is introduced using the same SFX intentionally used by Lucas to characterize Boba, spurs and tracking bleeps.
    Even the episode title could be a reference to Boba "The Gunslinger" although that is more of a stretch.

    Honestly it would be a bit of a let down if it isn't Boba. I think that would be a classic subversion of expectations with that level of setup.

    If it isn't? I just hope it's not some random schmuck. Cobb Vanth would be a neat tie-in to the novels, but I don't think he would leave Tatooine, as i'm pretty sure he was a constable/law man on the planet.

    I don't know but I just hope that they nurse Ming-Na back to health because holy crap what a waste other wise.

    I wonder if the tease will even pay off in this series. With Favreau's experience in the MCU maybe his strategy is to bring whoever it was in for a later film or series. I expect an additional tease next season but no answers if this is the case.

    The obvious answer is Boba. So Boba.

    Should we just change the thread to Boba Fett in the Mandalorian now or later? :p

    But Boba Fett is still in the process of being digested by the Sarlacc. No, he didn't escape, that's EU, not Canon.

    Maybe the Sarlaac found him somewhat undigestible in canon as well

    Boba is a walking tank. I've never found it difficult to believe he escaped the Sarlacc.

    Boba knows Han and knows Han knows Luke. He could be the way Mando eventually finds Luke.

    Almost certainly not. That episode was on Tatooine for a reason.

    There is no reason for Moff Gideon to not have been on Tatooine though.
    The way I see it, there is no mystery. It was just foreshadowing the big bad guy of the season finale.
    I guess we'll find out.

    It's Luke's old buddy, Laze Loneozner. We find out the real reason his nickname is Fixer, and it's not in mechanical terms. Starring Bruce Campbell.

    Based on the manner of Gideon’s entrance in Chapter 7, with a high-powered advance team preceding him, I doubt it was him walking alone in the desert. Add the sound of the spurs, the Boba-like static sound, and the location? Probably not Gideon. It’s a tease for a future season.

    But as you said, we’ll see!

    There's really no reason for him to have been on Tatooine either. Way things are set up there's really no connection between Shand and Gideon.

    I’m pretty sure it’s Boba. But my second-string guess (i.e. hope) is Cad Bane.

    IDK, that might contradict the EU. How do Favreau get out of this one

    I thought he was Chiss?

    I feel stupid for not getting the reference earlier. Probably both the stupidest/best thread to ever come out of the JCF
