When the news broke that Timothy Olyphant had been cast in Season 2 of The Mandalorian, reports indicated that he'd be playing a character that was introduced in the "New Expanded Universe" Aftermath Trilogy, and that was confirmed when Cobb Vanth made his debut in Friday's season premiere, "The Marshall."
Now, Disney+ has shared an official character poster for the man who's been (foolishly?) walking around in Boba Fett's Mandalorian armor.
After a tense face-off that almost resulted in a firefight, Vanth proved to be valuable ally to Din Djarin, teaming up with the bounty hunter to kill the monstrous Krayt Dragon in order to keep his town safe.
In return for his help, Cobb handed over Fett's armor and the two parted on friendly terms - but we saw the legendary mercenary watching Djarin leave on his speederbike right at the end of the episode.
Will Fett track Vanth down in order to learn more about Djarin and The Child? We can't imagine he'll be too pleased about him donning his armor one way or the other.
Tune in for the still untitled "Chapter 10" this Friday to see what happens, and let us know what you thought of "The Marshall" in the comments.
