With TM escaping the Giant and the life that he could lead, he is back on the run with The Child. He gets to a new planet hoping to find solace while he gets his ship fixed, but instead finds a new rival who is looking to get his name in the game of bounty hunting.
Toro (Jake Cannavale, TV's Nurse Jackie) is obviously a distraction to TM and he doesn't trust him as far as he can throw him, but he needs him. TM is good at knowing when to tie up loose ends and it's only a matter of time before Toro gets a first-hand lesson.
Class is in session.
Toro and TM go on an adventure to go look for parts and money for TM to get his ship fixed. While out there is someone hunting him (shocking right?). Normally, this would cause me to roll my eyes and just move on. But guess who the sniper is? None other then the woman who has not aged in thirty years, Ming-Na Wen (TV's, Agent's of SHIELD). If you haven't seen her in action, then turn on SHIELD for the first season and behold the amazingness of her.
Toro gets a lesson from TM as they are able to take over Fennec (Wen) and she tries to use her logic to overtake Toro but instead SHE gets schooled! That was quite shocking but not at the same time. It's a dog-eat-dog world in the bounty hunting world and it wasn't surprising the Toro took her words and then took it out on her.
His victory is short-lived.
While he thinks he has upper hand on Toro, he quickly sees that TM is not one to be taken advantage of and no matter how good you are, he is so much better.
With the short appearance of Ming-Na Wen she has completed the Disney trifecta. The first person (let alone a woman and of a minority in Hollywood) to complete this. What is this you ask? Well the Disney trifecta is a person who has been a Disney animated film character, a Marvel character, and a Star Wars character. Go ahead try to think of someone else? There are a lot that are close (Samuel L. Jackson will complete it when Soul comes out, but Ming-Na is the first one for all three to be released). Wen voiced Mulan, played Melinda Mey in Marvel's Agents of SHIELD, and finally played Fennec Shand in this episode of The Mandalorian.
Congratulations Ming-Na Wen!
