The person was not Boba Fett, but he/she/they is going to turn up in the next episode to help Mando against the imperials. I think it's a well known Mandalorian.
I really hope it's not Boba. That episode really was the shits. The last episode was fantastic, though.
I'd assume rolling out in full force wasn't their preferred strategy and they probably would rather have Mando just delivered the baby + not have revealed themselves.
1. Yes
2. I give it 60/40 favoring him appearing next week, vs appearing in season 2 (which may include another brief tease in this finale).
Also, wasn't the original bounty dead or alive but preferably alive?
If its not, then its a pretty big tease, but I wouldnt be surprised at this point.
I think this episode all but confirms that it was Boba Fett.
Like I said when the episode first aired, it could not be him but the show runners obviously wanted you to think it was a possibility. Now that we know it wasn't Mof Gideon, the only other person it could be is Boba.

I enjoyed the original trilogy and have always loved the star wars universe only to be disappointed by everything post Jedi Knight.
This show is my jam, more of this pls and less of the modern movies, The new trilogy feels like it was made by people who enjoyed Episode 1

We all know the prequels suck. You can't really compare movies made decades later to those prior very well though. Solo is about the same as The Mandalorian if everyone is being honest, quality inconsistency throughout and all.
Personally I think the writing and acting is consistently pretty bad. This last episode wasn't better than any others, it just had what people wanted more, recurring characters! Poorly utilized though and badly written.
Production, art, and cute Yoda help for me.
And I suppose if I'm going to watch awful writing and acting it should be fun and not take itself so seriously, so this at least hits that.
Solo was just a boring as the prequels to me, but hey opinions are opinions and we all have our own
I completely agree with you. When I mean the last episode was a high, I don't mean the writing was any better. It is just that it is starting to feel like a real show with a cast of characters, and some sort of story we might give half a shit about. Unlike a throwaway generic standalone episode, which was poorly executed. I will say though, Nick Nolte, Carl Weathers, Pedro Pascal, Werner Herzog, and Giancarlo Esposito are all great actors. The writing is just kinda letting all of them down, similar to how the prequels let down a lot of great actors.
Yeah most of them can be good, but I have to say this feels like absolutely one of the worst acted drama television shows I've seen in a long long time. Granted I'm not tuning some daytime television or basic cable stuff really ever, but still...
The most frustrated thing about the show though is that it'd be so easy to integrate the characters just a bit more and fix so so much about the overall 'plot.'
Jesus Christ, I can rarely manage to watch 7 episodes of a show I'm loving. I don't know how (or why) y'all do it.
Yeah, this is pretty much where I am at. I still watch it because its not much of a time investment and its kind of a guilty pleasure but its definitely falling way short of expectations at this point. I think I keep hoping that the show will hit a stride but...
I can't believe I skipped the credits all this time. The art is amazing and the music is sublime. Better than any of the movies. If Disney continues to produce series like this, I might have to stay subscribed.
There's more than just writing and acting in a show, though. Production and art are superb. Music is amazing. It's fun and doesn't take itself so seriously so it's a bit of a guilty pleasure despite the writing.
And it's hard to judge something as a mess until you've seen at least a few of the pieces. We're only 7 episodes into a short show. It's the equivalent of watching a movie over the course of two months. It's not that crazy.
Yes have to agree. Much better episode but as had been said the writing and acting is sub-par.
Not seeing his face (because Pablo is probably only voice acting it) is really hampering an emotional connection between characters. If it weren't for Nolte and BY there would be zero emotional attachment

That was an excellent episode and a reassuring return to form after a poor episode 6. Had everything you love about Star Wars, really. Laughs, drama, and lots of action.
Will certainly agree with criticism of some of the performances, though. Gina Carano in particular is straight up bad. Like one of those actors you'd see on a murder mystery show on ID channel.

Pedro Pascal isn't for all of it. Bryce Dallas Howard, director for episode 4, said he wasn't on set and she didn't work with him at all.
My mistake, brainfart
Fair enough, but there are pictures and clips of him in the suit so its not like he's only voice acting
Cool
Edit... Just saw exchange above. Yes I thought I remember reading he was not in suit the whole time
So when are we gunna find out that Yoda and Yaddle are the parents of "the child".
The timeline matches up.

Narratively speaking, it makes no sense.
When a piece of media makes a point to have a tease like that, once the character is revealed, it's shown in a way so you know that's who was being teased. It would be the most amture shit ever if Moff Gideon ended up being teased in that episode and then shown like he's just a normal baddie in another one.
This is the way
Other boots were at the cleaners
