If it is Boba Fett, I hope it’s a different angle than he’s just hunting our Mandalorian and The Child.
I hope it’s something more like Fett was the one who found him after his parents were killed, and was the one who took him in, and is looking to protect him. Or something.
I’m just kind of tired of old characters being introduced in these new “things,” so if they’re going to do it again, do it for a reason that’s intriguing and unexpected.
I do have to say this; just to get it out of my system regarding the Mos Eisley hanger manager...
The resemblance to a certain American exercise guru is uncanny...
Side story because I’m bored.
I’ve met Richard Simmons twice. First time was in Vegas, he was going nuts over...something...and when I say going nuts, I mean being EXACTLY like he was any and every time you saw him on television. He was kind and friendly and awesome.
The second time was even better. My aunt was a HUUUUUGE fan of his. She was ALWAYS Sweatin’ To The Oldies, and she probably still does to this day.
Anyway, she’s getting married in Detroit at a pretty nice hotel:reception/convention hall type place. Her name and my uncle’s name are on the marquee out front of this place.
We are having the dinner, and suddenly we hear yelling...like, strange, angry yelling. The person yelling is out at the front desk of this place. He’s yelling about why his name isn’t on the marquee for the event he’s doing the next day, and who exactly Dawn and Dean are, and how there’s no way they’re more important than him. He then yells “A wedding? A wedding?! A wedding gets top billing over me??!!”
At this point my Aunt looks visibly upset, everyone is shocked, and my Uncle looks like he’s about to go bust someone’s head open (which in itself is shocking as he’s Canadian and the nicest dude on the planet).
So angry dude yells “I’ve got to see this wedding that’s more important than me!” and a few seconds later the hall door is thrown open, and in walks Richard Simmons.
My Aunt nearly fainted. Everyone burst into laughter, and he ran up to the table to give them the heartiest congratulation, hug them, and then just hang around for a good several minutes just...well...BEING Richard Simmons.
It was amazing, and my Aunt was just beside herself with joy.
To this day, nobody is sure if someone had seen him and tipped him off that she was a huge fan, or if he just did this whole thing all on his own...but one thing is for sure, it made everyone’s day.
Sorry for my long side story...I don’t see Simmons referenced often, so I rarely get a chance to tell that story.
