My prediction for season two is Boba Fett will appear early in the series, take the child away from the Mandalorian, and is set to return him to Moff Gideon.
As the Mandalorian goes to retrieve him, he is aided by Asoka Tano as he needs her help to retrieve him from the dark saber wielding Gideon.

Is it official somewhere? I've only seen speculation.Timothy Olyphant's character has been revealed, but I'll let others go a-huntin' if they want to know.
I'm happy about it.
I guess no more official than the other 'leaks', but I'm seeing it posted all over.Is it official somewhere? I've only seen speculation.
Was watching ep 3 of The Gallery on Disney+.... did Jon give a little slip around 2:16 when he was talking about Boba's inspiration from The Man with No Name? After mentioning the spur sound associated with Boba, he says "...that was the gunfighter deconstructed-" he then raises his eyebrows as if he realized he made a whoopsie and then amends himself "- gunfighter iconography".
While at this point I think we all assume that to be Boba with the recent casting news, when this was filmed I doubt that was public. Maybe me just reading into it? But I thought it was funny to see his expression given the name of the episode in question was "Gunslinger".
Well, you see, much like TROS, the Mandalorian now has to be packed with what the studio thinks fans want, rather than crafting a lean story that could possibly introduce new things that people might like. Remember Wedge? Remember Freddie Prinze, Jr.? Remember Lando? Remember the medals from ANH? Remember B-Wings? Remember Seven Samurai? Remember the episode of Clone Wars that was just Seven Samurai? Gotta put them in because people didn’t like it when SW did something new.Gotta tell ya, maybe I'm a lone voice shouting into the wind, but I wish they had left Fett out of this show. Concerned that he's going to take the focus off the main lead, who, in my opinion I'm more interested in.
And where was Asoka Tano during the entire original trilogy?
So far I have seen nothing saying he's in. Tem Morrison has purportedly been cast (all online articles ultimately lead back to The Hollywood Reporter, but we have nothing from LFL that I've seen), and the only thing tying him to playing Boba is "sources", per THR. All I have to say to that is:Gotta tell ya, maybe I'm a lone voice shouting into the wind, but I wish they had left Fett out of this show.

Rebels ended very shortly before Rogue One and Star Wars. Days or weeks, maybe. Last we saw of Ahsoka she had gotten separated from Ezra in the World Between Worlds inside the Jedi Temple. In evading the Emperor's attacks, she ended up on Malachor, before ultimately finding another portal back to the World Between Worlds. We have no idea how long that took in real-time, or what other adventures she might have had between then and when we see her arrive on Lothal shortly after Return of the Jedi to meet up with Sabine and go looking for Ezra. I expect we'll find out more at some point -- maybe even in The Mandalorian.And where was Asoka Tano during the entire original trilogy?

Parenthetical first: Yes, Han was handed over to Boba... After Boba had tracked the Falcon long enough to determine its destination, called in his employer, Darth Vader, so they could get their prize and pay him. It's impressive enough he negotiated with Vader to get Solo afterward, so he could double-dip by delivering him to Jabba. Ruthless pragmatism.Honestly if Fett's not just in flashbacks, I'll seriously reconsider sticking with the show. He's dead in ROTJ. He was a villian Lucas meant to die and he went out like a chump at the hands of Han Solo. (Solo who was simply handed over to Fett by the way, not like he even had to capture him.)
Yes. But Boba was first. His emergence from the sarlacc pit was covered almost immediately in the Marvel comics, then retold in novels and later comics. Boba not dying in ROTJ is one of the things so repeated in the EU, it's tacitly carried over to the new canon. Might as well accept it.There's been a bit too much of dead characters coming back and fan service doesn't everyone think?
