Well, forget all that, at least for now.
No doubt well be circling back to Tatooine and that still-unnamed character.
And it will be.
Mando and the Child exchange a knowing look.
These two get each other.
(What is he a doctor of?
That we dont know.)
Im not some Rodian, for crying out loud.)
Shes also a lady.
Getting her there wont be easy, however, not the least because Mando doesnt speak Frog.
There are other complications as well.
Its another reminder of how little we know about the Child.
Whether the Childs nascent sense of self will be a liability down the road remains to be seen.

Is that a Jawa in different clothing?
And yet Jedi remain semi-mythical in the world ofThe Mandalorian.
Is this an inconsistency?
If you oughta use the privy, do it now.
Its gonna be a long ride.
Is this the first reference to bathroom functions inStar Wars(not countingPhantom Menacestyle fart jokes)?
One small skank in the scud pie.
Peli continues to be a font of newStar Warsexpressions, doesnt she?
