In The Spoiler Room: The Mandalorian Chapter 22 “Guns For Hire”

• Feedback
• Brian in Texas: “I’ve seen some speculation online that the remnants of the attached lambda shuttle found last week could be where Cara Dune met her ending in Star Wars Canon, thoughts?”
• Aaron writes in “One thing I did want to bring up was the issue of a particular pirate conspicuous in his absence.  Hondo Ohnaka was one of my favorite animated Star Wars characters and it seems strange that in a Dave Filoni show in which we've now had 2 episodes in which pirates play a major role, the most obvious Filoni pirate character hasn't had a mention let alone an appearance.  Would Bryan know of any reason why they would want to avoid using Hondo or any in-universe reason why his appearance wouldn't make sense?”
