The Mandalorian Season 2, episode 8, The Rescue, had a post-credits scene. Before we go too far, know this: This article is jammed full of spoilers. If you have not seen the end of the last episode of Season 2 of The Mandalorian, turn back now. If you love Star Wars at all, whatsoever, please do yourself a service and watch that episode before you look at this article. This is your final SPOILER ALERT. The scene opens on twin suns. This being Star Wars, we know that a pair of suns seen from a planet covered in sand means we’re on Tattooine. Pan to the left we see what once was Jabba’s Palace. We quickly recall that we’re seeing this scene takes place approximately 5 years after Return of the Jedi. There are several creatures in this scene – most of them are unimportant. But we’ll take a peek at each anyway. Cross your fingers the ones that don’t immediately die get their place in the rabble come next winter.1. Twi’lek Dancer (not Oola) The chained dancer character here reminds us of the character Oola, from Return of the Jedi. Both were Twi’lek, as characterized by the pair of lekku (appendages) protruding from their skull. Per Star Wars: The Complete Visual Dictionary (2018), this Twi’lek skin tone (blue) is called Rutian. Given the current Star Wars production propensity to incorporate characters in shows or movies that’ve popped up in the past, there’s a decent chance this character is one of the several Rutian Twi’leks we’ve seen before. It’s probably not Jedi Master Aayla Secura, since she was killed on-screen. Kaasha Bateen appeared in the novel Last Shot and COULD be age-appropriate, given the novel’s timeline. Slightly older but still within reasonable age to tie in here are the twin masseuses Ann Gella and Tann Gella.
