![]() The scene of Cad Bane approaching and engaging Cobb in a classic cowboy standoff is executed with such perfect unease that it’s truly not clear who will walk away until the first shot is fired. It’s none other than Cad Bane, a blue-skinned Duros bounty hunter from The Clone Wars whose reputation precedes him. Mando asks Cobb for his help in ridding Tatooine of the Pykes, and the Marshal eventually agrees.īut before he can make a grand speech to his people about the need to fight in the coming war, a stranger walks into town from the desert. Cobb is still the perfect space cowboy - he’s got the swaggering walk, the heated stare and the drawl to match the most famous Western gunslingers. Mando knows a guy, so he flies his sleek, new-ish Naboo N-1 Starfighter to Mos Pelgo to catch up with Marshal Cobb Vanth (Timothy Olyphant), who we met in The Mandalorian season 2. We get a brief appearance by Temuera Morrison’s Boba toward the end of the episode, when he repeats what we already know: to take on the Pykes, Boba and his crew need more fighters. “From the Desert Comes a Stranger” shows Mando checking in on the little guy and amassing some more muscle for Boba’s brewing war with the Pykes. That episode provided a glimpse at what he’s been up to since he defeated Moff Gideon and left Grogu with Luke Skywalker. This episode essentially brings all of the pieces together ahead of the first season finale next week. There was a heavy hint in Episode 4 that the Mandalorian himself, Din Djarin, would return, and return he did in Episode 5. *SPOILERS ahead for The Book of Boba Fett episode 6* But these last two episodes have been incredible diversions, and perfect teases for what’s coming in future Star Wars shows Ahsoka and The Mandalorian season 3. And we do miss Boba Fett appearing in his own show. Star Wars master Dave Filoni directed The Book of Boba Fett Episode 6, “From the Desert There Comes a Stranger,” so we knew we were in for a treat.īut that treat was sweeter than we could have imagined, as the legendary filmmaker behind The Clone Wars, Rebels and The Mandalorian packed his episode with enough cameos and callbacks that we barely noticed that the eponymous anti-hero himself was still largely absent.
