The Mandalorian Chapter 5: Mystery Character Identity?

So, I am back from a short bit of time gone from this blog, of course to talk about what very quickly is becoming my favorite television series, Star Wars: The Mandalorian on Disney Plus. I was super hyped leading up to its release and the first live-action Star Wars television show doesn't disappoint. But I will save the review for after the end of the season. I haven't felt a great need to write about the show yet, there isn't really much I have to say that hasn't already been said. Just know that this is a great series that you should be watching. I don't have too much to add for this either, but I'm pretty much sorting my ideas and using ideas from around the net (shout out to Reddit!)
If you haven't watched The Mandalorian yet there are major spoilers ahead! 
With that out of the way, shout out to Baby Yoda, he's great. Although I'm sure that there's almost no one who doesn't know of him yet.
In Chapter 5: The Gunslinger, the Mandalorian gets into a whole ordeal with a young bounty hunter, Toro Calican and a assassin named Fennec Shand on Tatooine.  Long story short, the Mandalorian leaves Toro to watch Shand and she reveals to him that the Mandalorian is worth more than she is so he kills her and leaves her there. The Mando kills him after the gunslinger jumps him and the Mando leaves the planet. The final stinger that we get at the end of the episode is someone, whose identity isn't revealed walk up to Shand's body on Tatooine. We hear the person's footsteps which have a spur-like sound effect to them. There is also a very visible cape that they are wearing. And up to this point that is all we really know. Here I'm going to give some options for likely candidates of who this person is and how it will effect the series and Star Wars as a whole. Let's go.

Greef Carga
Let's get into the most likely options first. Greef has already appeared in two episodes of the show and since many other bounty hunters are trailing the Mando it would follow that he is too. He would also likely have a personal vendetta against the Mandalorian because the last time Greef saw him, he was shot and left for dead. The cape in the shot is also like Greef's, torn and long enough. I'm not sure about the spurs when he walks though. It would be slightly interesting, but I sort of already assumed that Greef was after the Mando. I hope it isn't him because why would they tease and not fully show a character that is already in the show and wouldn't majorly surprise anyone. And I would basically be writing this all for nothing.

Moff Gideon
This is another more likely character, because we already know that he will be in the show. But if that's the case why tease him like this. This would be better than Greef because we haven't seen Moff Gideon yet. I feel that it might not be him for three reasons, 1. He is an imperial warlord that we know has a guard of death troopers, so why wouldn't they be there, 2. From the images I can see his cape is likely in much better condition than the one shown from the person in the show, although I can't find an image showing the bottom of his cape, 3. I doubt as an imperial that he would have boots that look and sound like that. The reason that he could be there is that he was meant to meet up with Shand, who he hired to take out the Mandalorian which would explain why she knew so much of the story about what happened with the Mando. This one would be fine, but honestly I would be disappointed because of my raised expectations for the craziness that this scene could potentially spawn. Maybe I should temper my expectations for anything on the list other than these two, but that's just a thought, you know that I'm not gonna. This is the greatest mystery in Star Wars rn and half the fun is to speculate. Plus I love writing this blog (even though I don't post quite enough.)

Cad Bane 
Could this fan-favorite character from The Clone Wars animated series show up? I want to say yes, because Dave Filoni is running the show, but that could also mean no at the same time. The boots, spurs, and cape heavily line up. But that said at Star Wars Celebration 2017, they released Clone Wars footage which isn't technically canon (yet), in which Cad Bane was killed by Boba Fett. It isn't recognized as canon by Wookieepedia, but the question that will determine if he shows up in this show is: Is Cad Bane's death considered canon by Dave Filoni? It would be reasonable for him to show up since he is a bounty hunter. But is he the best choice for the plot moving forward? I don't know, but I would love to see him show up.

1313 game concept art. Not actually Vanth. Cobb Vanth doesn't have any images because he is a (mysterious) book character. This gets the general idea.

Cobb Vanth
Cobb Vance is a character from the Aftermath books by Chuck Wending, he lives on Tatooine and posses a Mandalorian armour which may or may not be Boba Fett's. He acquired this armor from trading with the Jawas. He has a baby hutt with him that he is taking care of, so he is very similar to the Mando. They would have to introduce the character for a new audience. I haven't read the Aftermath books, but I pretty much understand the character from videos and articles online, so I don't think his intro would be very hard. Having Boba's armor (if he does) would line up pretty well with the character we see here, on Tatooine nonetheless. The cape is quite a bit shorter than the one here, but after the Sarlacc pit and several years on that plus Boba's cape was already ripped in Empire and Return of the Jedi, he could've replaced it with a new longer one.  There is also a fan theory that Vance is actually Boba Fett using an alias, all of the chapters that he is in are told from a different perspective so you can't be sure. If it is Boba than they could introduce him as Cobb and then try for a reveal later on that he's really Boba, honestly everyone would see that from a mile away. They could just bring back Boba and not really address the Cobb Vance thing, but say that it was him in passing. But on to the next character and we'll talk more.

Boba Fett
Be honest, even though some people don't like it Boba escaped that Sarlacc. George was inches away from including it in the special edition. He would be hugely popular if he returned, it's the Mandalorian show, pay respects up to the first Mando in Star Wars. The kid from Attack of The Clones, Daniel Logan is perfect to play him at this point. The show went to Tatooine, whether he's Vance or not it makes since that he would be there and check out what was happening in his territory, plus he is a bounty hunter so at this point he would naturally be against the Mandalorian since he gets a reward for it. It would be really cool to bring him in at the end of the season and set him up as a villain for later. What I'm really hoping for is that we go to Mandalore and deeply explore the culture and see how Boba Fett and the Mandalorian tie into that in season 2. The evidence for this is pretty big, go back to Empire and listen to Boba Fett walking, the sound effect is practically identical to what is here. I really think that it's on purpose. But see we will. Connected stay Yoda Baby says.
