I'm thinking Boba's sister Omega and Hondo Ohnaka. Maybe Cad Bane, but that particular showdown will probably be in a Bad Batch episode.
It's been a long long time since I read any of Travis books since they had a bad tendency to wank off Mandalorian Lore.
I mean all my guesses were from the Disney canon, but sure.

Omega is the only one I didn't know from the animated series. Hondo and Bane I knew, especially Hondo you sounds almost like my mechanic around the corner.

But also added characters would have to come from Legends.
I got nothing to say here.

Omega was introduced in Bad Batch, so just a few months ago. The main reason I think she might be in this show is that they went waaay out of their way to establish a history between her and Fennec.

I've gotta say, I didn't know I was missing a cyberpunk swoop gang in Star Wars but damned if I don't appreciate them.

I believe it's Lucasfilm's personal response to Star Trek Renegades.

Huh. I watched that when it came out and completely forgot about it until now.

Apparently Kathleen Kennedy or someone at Lucasfilm didn't.

So far we got the lead up with the Tuskan Raiders capturing, training, bonding with Fett after he climbed out of the Sarlac pit.

Then post Mandalorian where he is trying to be some Mafia Boss in place of Jabba the Hutt. So he is in conflict with other Hutts and Tatooine politics.

I wonder if this is a build up to something much bigger.

I can see making Fett an anti-hero, but he's coming off too much hero and not enough anti. I'd still like to see a Star Wars setting where they go fully into the perspective of a villain and Fett originally was one freed of constraints.

What they did to the Tuskans annoyed me. They are not Native Americans, they are this in Sci-Fi masks: Image

They're Hillybilly's that willfully hide in the wild and take pot shots at people, not because they're a poor victimized tribal people, but because their secretive loners who hate outsiders and see them of no good being "on their property".
