Does a character like Lando Calrissian hold a clue they need?
Also of note, in the news about the ride, was confirmation of something tangible in the film.

Could Batuu itself, the planetSmugglers Runbegins on, factor into the film?
Again, this is all just pure speculation.
So maybe something on the same planet or maybe missions that impacted the plot but happened before the movie?
And well probably learn more next month whenThe Mandalorian and Groguhas a full panel atStar WarsCelebration Japan.
