Also, speaking of Tuskens, does anyone else really enjoy how these Disney+ shows have been developing and humanizing various mook aliens from the older movies? What aliens do you suppose could be next? Will we see some Hutts who aren’t crime lords at some point? Will we get to see some Ortolans who aren’t just playing drums all day? Maybe an Ewok who pulls a Star-Lord and leaves behind his terrestrial bound brethren to go have a bunch of adventures in space?
This is actually something that I personally hope they don’t overdo or start to rely on. As I explained in my pseudo-essay from last year, the OT treated most aliens as archetypes and I don’t want them to deviate too much from this. I don’t mind them doing this with the Tusken’s since there was always some nuance with them in Lucas’ films and they were always meant to be the natives on a planet with human colonists, so what BOBF did sense narrative-wise and stays true to the archetypes that they were. However, making the Rancor into a an emotionally complex pet instead of simply a ferocious monster was IMO not necessary, but it was handled well in that it helped tell Fett’s story so I don’t mind it in this case.
I will say this, I do not want to see good Hutts. That seems to go against what the Hutts were meant to be in the SW universe. I much prefer what Favreau did with the he Klatooinian raiders in the Mando episode “Sanctuary” or the Quarren pirates in “The Heiress.” SW is not Star Trek so I can do without arbitrary depth and nuance added to creatures that were originally made to serve as simple monsters or caricatures of life and history.
