Turns out live-action Cad Bane is utterly terrifying. Later, the titular stranger strolls from the desert into Freetown – the utterly ruthless Duros bounty hunter Cad Bane (voiced by Corey Burton), a character extremely familiar to Clone Wars fans. Mando tries to persuade Cobb to join Boba's fight against the Pykes, but the lawman is uncertain. Cobb happens upon some Pykes conducting a spice deal, killing most of them and warning the survivor to stop conducting Syndicate business in Freetown territory.
On Tatooine, we reunite with our old pal Cobb Vanth (Timothy Olyphant) – the marshal of Mos Pelgo (aka Freetown), former wearer of Boba's armor and perpetual owner of excellent Hollywood hair – who helped Mando kill a Krayt dragon. This show is set around five years after Return of the Jedi and shortly after The Mandalorian season 2.Ī criminal empire's worth of SPOILERS lies below, as we take a closer look at Chapter 6: From the Desert Comes a Stranger. However, he decided to go and visit little Grogu (aka Baba Yoda), whom we last saw being sent off with Luke Skywalker for Jedi training. Mando agreed to join Boba's gang as they take on the dangerous Pyke Syndicate, a rival criminal group that wants to use Tatooine in its spice-running operations.
