So, a spoiler has dropped, in the form of the cast listing for Episode 7 of BOBF on IMDB.

Don't follow the link if you don't want to be spoiled. And I'm not entirely sure what to make of it. It's possible this is some kind of mistake.

I only see three names, two of them are main characters and the third is no surprise. Did your list have more? It's possible they accidentally wrote the guest characters and then quickly went "oh shit" and pruned the entire list except those 3
There was a fourth name listed. Let's just say he was in Blade Runner.

As far as I'm concerned, this is still just an unconfirmed rumor. The IMDB listing could have been a mistake, or a deliberate hack.

MANDO!!! This was essentially Mandolorian Season 3 Episode 1.

Precisely, the final scene was a fig leaf to remind us it took place in another show and linked it back to the plotline of episode 4. Not that it was bad, mind, but it just seemed random to have an episode of The Mandalorian in the other show.

You're not the only one. I wonder why they're even in the show.

Episode 6 is out, and manages to top Episode 5. No spoilers until Saturday, please.

Seriously, this is another "stay off the Internet until you get a chance to watch it" episode.

Enjoy!

Shit, did they bring everyone back for episode 6?

I really didn't care for this episode at all. So many guests that I just didn't feel like it was tied together worth a shit.

No.  :(
They had to leave something for Episode 7. There have been heavy rumors about that.

I'd like to see Cara Dune put in an appearance, though I have not seen any rumors about that.

I don't think Gina Carano should go back to Disney after they took a steaming dump on her. Even if I would love to see Cara Dune again.

I enjoyed episode 6, kinda just makes me want mandelorian season 3 instead of book of boba fet though hehe.

Don't get me wrong, I love The Mandalorian, but why have we now had two episodes of it in this show?

Disney are idiots, she's my daughters' favourite character in Star Wars. Didn't require any marketing or puffing, like Rey (zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz), just seeing her in the show was enough. They're really disappointed she won't be back.

The Luke bits seemed creepy--largely because he didn't have anyone live to play off in most scenes, so the CG kept my attention in an unflattering way. I've never liked Ahsoka before and still don't. I liked Bane before, but he was supposed to be old and crusty (but a badass) in TCW, so having him pop up 25 or so years later without any real changes didn't feel quite right. If they really want to keep pushing the guests, is have much preferred to see Embo show up. I really like the marshal and I hope he's not dead.

There was talk about the Favreau/Filoni series having a big interconnected arc this "season." Maybe this is the start of that.

I was able to get past the effects, particularly in shots that weren't closeups.

I generally agree, I had hoped to see Bane in a similar role to Greef Karga. OTOH, he works well as a gunslinger.
