Timothy Olyphant’s Closest Thing to a Justified Replacement Still Feels Like a Missed Opportunity 3 Years Later

Cobb Vanth first appeared in the Star Wars novels of the Aftermath trilogy and later made his on-screen debut in Season 2 of The Mandalorian, specifically the first episode, “Chapter 9: The Marshal.” Though initially thought to be a traditional Mandalorian, Vanth quickly became a fan favorite, leading to his return in The Book of Boba Fett. However, the character hasn’t been seen at all in Star Wars television since then, which feels like a missed opportunity considering Timothy Olyphant’s strong acting abilities.
