If she doesn’t pop up in Ashoka’s show I will be greatly dissapointed.

I just wanna know if they ever found Ezra.
@aLynHall: Ahsoka does get it - she’s not a Jedi. She never went back to the order after they kicked her out. It’s why her light sabers are white. (Dog help me, I’m such a nerd.)

I think it’s an unwillingness to let the bad guy be a bad guy.
They already have their cool heroic guy in the Mandalorian Helmet.
And Fett was always meant as a villain.
But they’re likewise unwilling to show him disintegrating a rival in the back, selling out the locals for a buck, or doing anything that looks like actual crime.

That’s gotta be why she is looking for Thrawn right?

There has to be a Jedi High around by then. The whole Jedi infrastructure kinda went belly up with the formation of the Empire and hasn’t really been able to recover.
Moreover, why bother?
Jedi have always been kinda stuck up and wimpy.
The Rebellion/New Republic/Resistance never treated them as anything other than a side project or diversion of efforts.
Even the Empire/New Order didn’t think well of having a murder’y mystical space wizard with no real strategic/tactical knowhow as their figurehead. The only Imperial leader who put Vader in his place was Grand Moff Tarkin.
Why should he be Master Yoda 2.0 when he can be Tiny BAMF Mandalorian 1.0.

Thrawn is someone other people in the galaxy may have heard of, Ezra not so much.

Im just remembering that in the original Thrawn trilogy he had that dark Jedi clone.
Which makes me theorize:
with the end of Rebels with Ezra and Thrawn being space whaled to ‘somewhere’ that maybe Thrawn got the upper hand. He’s then got Ezra in cryo somewhere and a dark clone doing his bidding.

One thing that popped into my head this morning:
How did Mando know where Grogu was being trained?

Yeah let’s run down Boba Fett’s past associations:
- He was raised by a ruthless bounty hunter who tried to (among other things) assassinate a 24-year-old Senator.
- He spent much of his adolescence honing his trade with assassins and bandits.
- He took at least one contract for genocidal Sith lord Darth Vader (two if you count the cartoon from the Holiday Special).
- He worked on retainer for sadistic, slave-owning, drug-smuggling crime lord Jabba the Hutt.
- He eventually became an honorary member of a society that regularly engaged in kidnapping and slavery and had little or no respect for the laws imposed by the planetary government.
So where along the journey did Boba Fett get on this self-righteous “crime is bad” kick? He’s a lifelong criminal who surrounded himself with other criminals. He was literally born to be bad.

I am not sure he has a will to be good, rather the vibe I am getting is he is sick of authority and organizational oppression. It’s like he told Fennec, why should people with skills follow that sort and be taken advantage of? Like you said, he spent a lot of time under the thumb of people, and I guess he is trying not to repeat their flaws, since those flaws led to their downfall. I think he looks at the Pikes and the water seller and just sees more of the same mess, over and over.
Also, Disney.

Except he’s literally a self-appointed crime lord demanding tribute and protection money (though he’s absolutely useless when it comes to providing said protection), so that doesn’t really fit either.

May i just say that this and i think his general incompetence is intentional on the part of the writers and i’m here for it, they’re well aware of the expectation and the reality of who Fett is. Looking cool while doing a whole lotta nothin’ before getting pushed into the guts of a Sarlacc by a blind guy is his raison d’etre and it’s fun to see that extend into this chapter. If you want competence then you hire a real Mandalorian.

Torturing amphibians and firing lasers at Grogu before denying him access to his stepdad.
Luke is an asshole.
Yeah, Boba Fett is shit too. Fennec I like, obviously Mando, and Timothy Olyphant as the Marshall, yes please, but Boba? Useless. That gecko up the nose obviously messed him up.

She’s still a villain (remember, she once took a job to hunt down a child for the Empire and has been absolutely chomping at the bit for an excuse to murder more people) but she’s a competent villain so it’s more fun to root for her.
