Cloud Riders in the Sky.

The rumors and speculation about The Mandalorian season 2  are flying around -nice to hear some other news -other than covid19 (the scary thing is now my Mum is  not so great she can barely move legs -I have to lift her (heavier than me) it's like when she had  a slipped disc -very worried as I type this -it may be her tablets but it's frightening me) Now it's night and "I'm Chillin' like Bob Dylan" but dread what tomorrow may bring..

But back to The Mandalorian and these return of Boba Fett rumors- I like the idea of a ghost gunslinger -or even  his reputation certainly exists and his legend  preceeding him -like Pale Rider (a mythic figure)  but my first thought that if Tem Morrisons on board and Rosario Dawson is to play Ashoka would make sense he plays Rex - got the dome for it too -would be cool fot Tem to explore another character -one we already know and is beloved for  the right reasons.
 - A Fett return should be a slow burn -drag it out rather than  having him jet pack out the sarlacc in the first five minutes... would be better as it would build a tension .

Looks kinda Connery here-Rex  would be great -a badly scarred 40 year old Boba  could have anyone under the lid  but Tem doing the voice.


Rex rocking Rebel Commando gear in season 2 would be great although original character had very long ponytail like Willie Nelson so not sure it's actually him (but would make a nice connection to Clone Wars & Rebels)
My theory is that wasn't Fett in episode fives ending but Cad Bane who'd make the ultimate bad guy for this show- but hint at Fett's return through out (maybe Din  finally sorts Cad Bane out towarsds season finale then we get The Fett reveal-

Theres much talk of a character introduced in The Aftermath novels who  came across some  Jawas selling some acid burnt Mando Armour - and becomes a law enforcer  Cobb Vanth (which even sounds western) Somehow  I think Bob will be wanting that gear back (Cobb's  had it for  6 or 7 years ) would make a cool showdown  maybe in the spirit of "Twin Engines of Destruction"- I doubt Cobb is anything like Jodo Kosh   sounds like good guy - but out of his depth against Fett (unless Mando and Baba Yodo turn up -that's what I call the kid lol )
There's talk of a female led show my theory on this that this will be the search for Ezra and will feature live action versions of Ashoka Hera and Sabine maybe even Thrawn -but we'll get a guest star spot in one episode that'll help us catch up with what  those characters have been up to within the time  after Jedi.
I'm all for this -I hope the naysayyers are proved wrong -could also feature Aphra post Jedi -could be like Buffy or Charlies Angels  on Dathomir (maybe return of the Night Sisters) the more SW's the better ..but none of that SJW vibe that gives snarky odd  people an excuse to be assholes .but should be judged on it's merits.
Mando's in the can but what of the other shows? The futures uncertain but there's been casting Stellan is good casting -Imperial ? Rebel ? Senator?(bit like a Intergalactic Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy ?)
Got my eyes on this - maybe I take this face covering thing to the next level -but prioty #1 is Mum right now so not walking around with bucket on head  is a good idea just yet. but it's on the list.
