The Mandalorian (with Spoilers)

This was a giant plot hole.
We were told that Mayfield was needed because he was "ex imperial" -- even if you believe the "whitelist" theory, then why'd they have to get him???? Mando could have teamed up with literally anyone who has a non-criminal face, stolen a data-rod thing from any imperial, and just done that???? (Which is ultimately exactly what was done!!!!!)
People are thinking about this WAAAYY too hard. Its Star Wars. Its got little green space wizards, lazer swords, and the space ships are decked out with 80s era screen technology. If you apply very much logic it's really stupid. Just let go and have fun with it.
Wasn't Mayfield the one who knew how to get the coordinates, because he was ex-imperial? He steered them to the imperial base, came up with the plan to get in, and told them where they had to go. That's why they needed him.
Agree Mando's face scan working makes zero sense though.
Didn't they explain it that it was programmed to look for specific anti-Imperials, rather than all of the "good guy Imperials", because that was easier? Since Mando has never shown his face, the Imperials wouldn't have it programmed as a bad guy. I may have heard it wrong...
You are probably right and I just missed that part. That definitely clear it up.
I think that face scan is going to come back to haunt him in the future. He's in their system now.
Luke. Mother *******. Skywalker!

I think the end of that episode gave me the most feels of anything other than the end of Rogue One for all of the new content put out recently.
Holy ****. I've been waiting for 35 years to see the last few minutes of that episode.
That was well done. More Favreau/Filoni please.
As someone not quite as well versed in the canon, who was the guy that Boba ousted? I recognized where he was, but not who was on the throne. Was he one of Jabba's minions in "The Empire Strikes Back"? I have vague memories of a guy with soft horns introducing Luke when he arrived...same dude?

I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS!!!
And I have to wait for answers, which is really NOT in my DNA...

Pretty sure it was a "let himself go" Bib Fortuna.
Bib Fortuna
Bib Fortuna was a Twi'lek male who lived on the desert planet Tatooine. He served as Jabba Desilijic Tiure's majordomo and chief of staff for decades, handling all of the day-to-day operations at Jabba's Palace. By 32 BBY, Fortuna had assumed the position as Jabba's majordomo, and it was he and...

That was Bib Fortuna, one of Jabba's main henchmen. Looks like he gained a few pounds since Leia strangled Jabba in Return of the Jedi.
That's Bib Fortuna (same guy from Return of the Jedi).
