You know, that would certainly put a spanner in the works.
And Gorgu finally speaks; and we find he sounds like Edward G. Robinson from an old 1930ies gangster film.
I've watched that Mayfeld confrontation scene a few times now via Youtube. That is really a great moment and Bill Burr steps up to meet it.

Give me the metal knob, see...mmnaah..., and frog eggs, I want frog eggs, mmnaah.
It's not a series, it's just a one off special. Here's the article about it on the official Star Wars site.
They also posted an interview with Ming-Na Wen.
Edward G Robinson is forever ingrained in my head long before I ever knew who he was solely from growing up on Bugs Bunny cartoons.
Pedro Pascal said during a recent interview, that despite what recent rumors have been saying, he does not want more scenes with the helmet off. I could see the character eventually reaching a point where he takes the helmet off more often, but I am glad to hear he's not going to force them to do it, just so he can get his face on screen.

Well this is interesting; apparently those 'scrapwalkers' milling about in the background on the chop fields were not in fact CG as one might have assumed, but old school stop motion elements created by none other then Phil Tippet studios!
I had NO CLUE those were stop motion, which is probably the best compliment one could give to stop motion work!
I wonder if they were comped in after the fact, or done ahead of time then rendered as video elements in The Volume's game engine set? Given how some of the shots are framed, I suspect the latter, which is kinda wild!

Really? Wow... didn’t think there were still people out there who still knew how to do such things in this day and age of all-CG VFX. This show really never fails to amaze, on multiple levels.
Well it's not a completely dead art, there's a fair few still around: -
Phil Tippett Studios of course which did this as well as some work for the sequel trilogy. Plus Phil has been working of a personal project called "Mad God" for what seems like an eternity.
Studio Laika is pretty well known for movies like 'Coraline', 'Paranorman', 'The Boxtrolls' (featuring a number of familiar Star Wars voices), and 'Kubo and the Two Strings'.
Aardman is probably most famous for 'Wallace & Grommet', 'Chicken Run', and a bunch of old heating adverts (though they also did a very underrated CG movie for Sony.)
Those are just the really big studios. There's dozens of smaller specialty companies still knocking around.

Very cool! I honestly thought many of those examples were CG that was designed to "look" like claymation and stop-motion animation. Never thought anyone was still employing legacy art like that. I'm happy to see it's still being done.
So, what's going to be the big cliffhanger? A Luke Skywalker appearance? Grogu remains captured? The Mando appears to have died?
My guess would be Luke or Ezra.
Mace Windu would be out of left field and wacky as Hell but after the reborn Palpatine and Sith cult angle in TROS anything is possible in this franchise.

Ezra Bridger/Thrawn are the most likely candidates, but I hope that they leave plenty of time for a Darksaber/Beskar spear duel.
