Could be anyone, honestly. Some think the silhouette or sounds mean it was Boba Fett, but there was nothing overt proving that person's identity or intent.
For all we know it could just never get brought up again.

I mean, they didn't even follow it up this season. Why include it at all right now?
Just have that scene kick off when they actually pick that plot thread back up. Same effect.
Filoni being Filoni and wanting to sneak/work elements back into canon for the hardcore fans.
Was it ever addressed who this is or why we were seeing it?
Like he tried with Revan
like he did with the Old Republic ships before RO incorporated them as well
Like he did with Thrawn
Etc
Same reason Mando locked up Xi'an and Friends rather than kill them. They are seeding future episodes.
Ehh, that is a resolution to the episode though--the betrayers are locked up, and the vampire twi'lek dude was killed. And Mando escapes.
And more to the point, I forgot about it. I don't want to see Vampire Twi'leks again...
Sure, but that would be pretty damned sloppy. You don't write, cast (even if an extra), shoot, and edit/include a scene like that if you don't plan on paying it off later. I'm frankly surprised it wasn't paid off this season.
that episode probably wouldnt have been set on Tatooine if they had no plan to follow up on it
I don't think you can bring back Boba Fett without pissing off Din fans or Boba Fett fans.
So if they did bring him in, one idea I have might have Fett posing as a fellow Mandalorian, "teaming up" before the betrayal (he was sent after the child) and then the eventual escape via a Thanoscoptor plot device.

And it is implied that planet was nearly wiped out by the purge. So their approach has changed as to who and what constitutes a Mandalorian.
I think it's a done deal that Boba Fett is showing up.
He was the Mandalore in Legends and the darksaber is floating around and this was likely a Boba Fett Show before.
It should be noted that at the point this series is set, the Mandalorians of Mandalore have basically been wiped out. In previous series that's never been the case, or acknowledged at least.
So their whole foundling thing is basically their way of keeping the traditions of Mandalore alive.
It's like being Hispanic. Being Hispanic isn't a race, it's a culture.
You don't have to be from Mandalore to be mandalorian. Also, they're allowed to decide what makes someone a mandalorian.
Din was a foundling during the Clone Wars.
This isn't a new tradition. It's an old tradition. Mandalorians didn't go through a purging until the OT era.
Being Mandalorian is a culture not race-based. Same as being Hispanic.
It almost certainly wasn't -- this show was actually in development at the same time the Boba Fett movie was, so it's not like the movie was turned into the show. Favreau loves Mandalore and Mandalorian characters and pitched the show as his own creation.
The show wants you to think its boba fett.
I think its this dude:
Cobb Vanth
Next time you wanna pretend to be a gunfighter, best to shoot first, talk later.Cobb Vanth, to Adwin Charu Cobb Vanth, also known as "the Marshal", was a human male who lived during the Galactic Civil War and subsequent New Republic Era. Once a slave, he rose to become marshal of Mos Pelgo on...starwars.fandom.com
Currently has Bobba Fetts armor.
Real talk:
I think in this scene it was Gideon.
But as for Cobb Vanth himself? I think the dude is Boba Fett, living under a fake name (would explain why he wanted the armor), and this is being done to make Boba more popular. Probably a crazy theory but I could see it working.
Whoops, that is an excellent point.
I think it makes sense for a warrior culture to have that sort of orphan-adopting tradition, in any case.

They should be real gutsy and make it Jodo Kast.
Creed, not clan. So anyone can be a Mandalorian, with or without anyone else's approval.
Boba Fett incoming.
Swear to the creed but still have to earn the signet and enter or become a clan.
This was established in the old lore as well. Really Filoni and crew have been largely digging into all the old lore and adapting it to screen. The Mandalorians stopped being a race thousands of years past, their planet became a wasteland due to warfare and they become splintered into clans. They take in people who if they prove themselves, become part of that clan. The clan is both family and your tribe. This isn't new lore.
So far almost every bit of lore they are using for the mandalorians in this show was taken from the old EU material which Filoni was always a fan of, he has close ties to the Mandalorian Mercs fan club as well.
One thing I have been unable to reconcile since the show started.
In Chapter 1, when Mando goes to Arvala-7 to get Yodling, who the fuck are the baddies that have him? How did they get him and what was their plan for him? Were they just sitting on him and killing every bounty hunter that came through looking for The Child?
None of that is clear at all, considering how much of a HVT Yodling is.
For all we know, they were protecting Yodling from the Imperials. 🤔

Was watching Rebels today and it was a Mandalorian heavy episode and the wife noted that all their helmets are off for everyone to see. I didn't know what to tell her 🤣
We still don't know its backstory.
The Empire presumably wiped out a huge portion of their culture and their beliefs shifted. We don't know enough to say more.
That Mandalorian aren't a monolith and that each tribe has it's own set of customs and beliefs.
Star Wars Rebels happened like 10 years ago and they were making a mends...just seems sort of off.
Outside of Sabine having direct family in the clan, they didn't really get into the clan structure stuff and how it worked on Rebels.
The real bummer of Rebels
FIloni why ;-;
is that Sabine and Bo-Katan spearheading the fight for Mandalorian independance is basically confirmed to be an utter failure, so complete that it ended with the near-annihilation of the Mandalorian people. We know Sabine survived because she was on Lothal, but I doubt many others were that fortunate.
FIloni why ;-;
Ahhhh, so when the Scout Troopers were told of Gideon killing one of his own men, they're talking about him machine-gunning The Client. 🤦♂️
I'm Sydown for this.

According to the TROS Visual Dictionary (lol) Force healing is like an ancient thing that nobody knew about, and Rey learned of it from the sacred texts she took from Luke. Baby Yoda probably inherently knows how to do it because his species is ancient and connected to the Force or something.
Fantastic show! So glad I ignored the large amounts of strange, nitpicky negativity that seems to flow through the internet during this show's run, really made me realize the disconnect between me and "the fan base".
Not sure if they'll keep the focus and surprise for a second season, but this one was fun for what it was.

Is it confirmed that yaddle is dead or whatever the other one of yoda species that served on the council. Given her species i would think she'd be one of the few that survived and went into hiding. Hopefully thats a plot point in season 2?
True fans hate watch everything related to Star Wars.

Hopefully the Mandalorians regroup and settle on a new home planet called New Mandalore.
I feel so bad for them. : /
