In The Mandalorian Chapter 5: The Gunslinger (directed by Dave Filoni, written by Dave Filoni, Jon Favreau and George Lucas, original air date December 6, 2019) we meet another pair of great characters, the incomparable Peli Motto (and her droids) and Fennec Shand. We also cross paths with misguided youngster Toro Calican, who will be dragged off into the Tatooine desert at the end of the episode.
Riot Mar: I can bring you in warm, or I can bring you in cold.
The Mandalorian: [defensive] That's my line.
We learn at the outset that Mando is constantly being chased, and he isn't that great a pilot in his rather large and ungainly Razor Crest. He does manage to splash a bandit, though, in exchange for significant damage to his ship.
We get to meet some Tusken raiders in a moment of foreshadowing, particularly considering Fennec Shand's appearance. At the end of the episode, we see a mysterious stranger approaching the unmoving form of Shand. Dun, dun, dun!
