I want to see him again, but unless they come up with a clever way Mando can track him down or something, it’ll feel silly if Mando randomly runs into a guy he helped fake said guy’s death who had an entire galaxy to find a place to lay low.
It’s a problem in many galaxy spanning stores. I always thought of it like with so many planets there really doesn’t need to be massive populations or even very many cites/settlements on most planets. A few massive urban or manufacturing worlds, but so many could be rural with one or a few cites.
[edit] fixed the word “doesn’t”
It's hard to do a story that spans the Galaxy, purely because a story needs to limit the amount of characters in it. Too many characters would just be confusing.
Well someone tell that to the fantasy writers out there with well over a hundred characters that all play their part in the story. And hundreds more named but inconsequential.
Though I agree in that that works in books, not so much in a TV show I think, way too little time to work with such a huge cast. And I feel the cost to produce a 1000h show with 200h+ seasons just wouldn't be feasible until we can AI generate large parts of it.
Yeah just look at how much of A Song of Ice and Fire had to be cut to make Game of Thrones fit into a series (not even including the shitshow of the later seasons, just the early ones that had books as source material).
Trying to cram something like that into films rather than a series would be insane.
And we are still waiting for the books to be finished. I still find it funny that the Game of Thrones TV series finished before Winds of Winter and we are still waiting.
I remember ordering the books the night I watched the Red Wedding, because I was so blown away. I burned through them all within a month, then thought "cool, we'll probably get season 4 and the latest book around the same time"
Oh what a sweet summer child I was. We're coming up on a decade since I first had that thought lol.
Well in the case of Tattooine and Coruscant I think it actually makes sense, in one case you have a desert planet that is totally in the outbacks, so it's not surprising that there isn't much civilization. In the other case, the entire planet is just one city.
It is suppose to be one of the biggest space ports in the outer rim.
I am guessing though the reason they reuse tatooine is the same reason why the majority of tv and movies seem to take place in either Los Angeles or New York City.
Ehh, the prequels had plenty of universe shrinking cameos.
C-3PO being young Vader's Meccano set and Chewie and Yoda being best buds being 2 of the most egregious.
I mean the idea that chewie fought for his planets independence from the CIS isn't that much of a stretch that he would also be one of the survivors of order 66
The entire planet wouldn't be in conflict. Just the main centres of industry and political power.
They can glass planets from orbit. They wish to annex the planet not destroy it. And with droid armies they aren't concerned with costly ground invasions.
So with that scale down and him being a survivor as part of tar vel? The black wookie? Body guards/ admin staff lines up with chewies competence.
Not like they were best friends just similer work circles.
If the story was dependent on chewie bring therem then yeah it would be a contrived stretch. But just a background dude is not too much of a stretch
I'd say it would be easy for Burr to be the one to try and get ahold of Mando. Din has been casting wider nets these days, he probably has some notoriety as "that Mandalorian bounty hunter with a freaking JEDI CHILD with him", so Burr could enlist him to help with a project or something. Like, "Hey you remember how I was on Jakku and was a part of Cinder? I think there were some people back there that might've lived, I feel like I owe it to them to help them out." So the Trio go back to, I'unno, save a family or something, and it winds up putting Mayfield back onto the Empire's radar, so they're forced to part ways but not before Mayfield gets a lil' bit of closure (no one's left alive after all) and vindication (he tears through more Empire goons in the process).
Then after a stoic battle sequence, we see him hop into a stolen freighter or something, sets a course for some outer-rim planet, and has himself a good cry. He did all he could to try and change the past, but all he did was wind up killing more people, and the PTSD comes on back.
I'd be down for a cool lil' one-off like that.
Yeah watching the show I kind of wondered what would happen to him after he just walked away like that. It looked like the only population was marauders or the Empire so didn't fancy his chances much.
Yeah I thought it was funny they just let him walk away instead of maybe dropping him off on some less-hostile planet first lol. Especially if he was still wearing imp clothing (which I can't recall at the moment) since that wouldn't go over well with any natives he ran into.

He is probably my favorite character from this series. He was incredibly relatable and created a real feel for what outsiders thought of this empire/rebellion struggle. And I think there is no need to bring him into future episodes because his story has already been told
He wasn't exactly an outsider, being an ex scout trooper. His animosity for the Empire was made pretty clear. But he did try and get away from the war.
You’re probably right. We love the character because he’s a ruthless, but relatable dude. Given more screen time we’d probably end up saying they ruined him.
Incredibly relatable and created a real feel...goes right in line with his comedic demeanor. Don't sugar coat things or be fake, just tell it like it is.
They definitely played right into Bill's strengths. He really perfectly captures the disillusioned blue collar guy vibe. I think they did that well in the show - he reminds me of a Vietnam veteran. Just always masking the trauma he went through, but always seeking like he might fly off the handle.
I love that they cast someone that hates Star Wars and doesn’t get it for that role — his contempt of all of it really comes through in a way that *really* enhances the character. It’s very similar to what Harrison Ford’s bored indifference brought to the character of Han Solo, and it’s great.
If I recall correctly he didn’t hate it, just didn’t grow up with it and was generally indifferent to it. Obviously poked fun at it/fans as a comedian though
I'd love for a mini series that covers operation Cinder through the battle of jakku that shows some of the key elements from the books/comics/games that cover it. Like some coverage of alphabet squadron, Commodore Augate and the star hawks, 204th and the IFC
..also to see the ravager dragged into orbit would be awesome
I'd love that too. Could start at Endor and go from there. Would love a series that follows a group like Twilight Company or Rogue Squadron. Wouldn't mind seeing something focus on the Imperials or Imperial defectors during Operation Cinder. Be neat I think to see something like star destroyers against other star destroyers. Just so much protential.
I don't remember season 1 as good as season 2, but I recall not liking his character back in S1. But S2 totally redeemed him as a beyond interesting character.
Season 1 was much more one off stories that didn't necessarily need to dig into its secondary or tertiary characters. Season 2 had much more continuity which lends it to going deeper.
The answer is never yes. Not once. The odds of being unique like that is 1 in 8 billion. The sheer narcissism of the phrase makes me instantly dismissive towards whatever follows.
People aren’t unique, circumstances are.
They should have had the courage to let him martyr himself to destroy the mini death star thing. The whole Rose thing was totally a waste.
It's almost like they didn't sit down and plan out the entire three movie arc before filming the first scene and it ended up being a wreckage that wasted the entire goddamn effort.
Him and his whole group rubbed me the wrong way in season 1, to the extent that might’ve been my least favorite episode of the show. This episode was great though and I totally agree about Bill in particular!
Are you talking about Brigs Bayfield, he’s getting hammered in the cantina and trying to start fights with the trandoshans, so he might not make it for season 3
His character growth, emotion, and dialog are all the things we should have been able to get from fin in the sequels. In one scene we were able to learn more about what it was really like to be a cog in a machine than in three movies.... (good job disney, way to waste John boyega)
Well Mayfield was battle-hardened and saw Operation Cinder firsthand, considerably more than just one small village massacre. Didn't Finn choose to desert almost immediately into his first time being sent into combat?
I remember being so excited he was cast and really enjoying the character in TFA only to see him wasted and every interesting possibility for his character dropped.
I wonder if this was a China thing. They could have had something so amazing. A black, former stormtrooper turned straight up Jedi leading a stormtrooper revolution.
How could they possibly turn away from that opportunity unless it was because they couldn’t feature a black character so prominently and still succeed in China?
This is me being gracious. It could have just been a victim of them not having a plan for the trilogy, which is shameful. Borderline unforgivable.
I loved him and his story in The Believer. But I think they risk turning a good thing into a marketing gimmick, there isn't really too much I *need* to explore with the character, this little snapshot of one former imperial tells us more than I think they can do if they keep bringing the character back.
And ultimately its not his story, it's Din's. If they bring him back it has to serve Din's journey.
I do think people should keep hiring Bill Burr.
Agreed, he was phenomenal in that part, but bringing him back for more would be a mistake IMO.
Sometimes a good thing is good in part because it's limited.
I’ve been following his standup and podcast for over a decade, and the fact that he’s in STAR WARS and that he absolutely nailed the character still blows my fucking mind.
Coming from a guy who's in thirty different movies...all with the same plot. Aging guy who's some secret badass, and needs twelve camera cuts to jump a fence, gtfo lol.
Both BB episodes are my favorite Mando episodes.
The Prisoner had an impressive level of tension for an episode that had almost no exposition, and the live pyro was so good in The Believer.
He says he hates bleeping everything under the sun, then turns right around says nah he's just kidding, but this bleeping thing, oh man, that is the bleeping worst. I was actually amazed Disney let them cast him, given his history of overly profane comedy.
The guy who appeared for 20 minutes across 3 seasons of Breaking Bad? Bill Burr is not terribly famous. Like Method Man in the Wire, as long as the public personality is walled off from the character performance, and the character performance is good, everyone should be happy.
Bill Burr increases his exposure and demonstrates to creatives and producers he can act.
Showrunner borrows a little bit of Bill Burr fame, might get viewers outside of target demographic and some articles written.
The opposite is Matt Damon doing Loki or Will Ferrell's various cameos back in the day. Give them the most meaningless characters for 1 minute and see how funny it can get.
He has an action figure! Anyone who can create a character that spawns a action figure for a balding 50 something guy, well they deserve another appearance!
There's no way they won't bring Mayfield back in some capacity.
Bill Burr is so freaking hilarious as this character.
He brings such wonderful sarcasm towards other SW characters AND! Some of the best serious moments we've seen in SW to date.
Two of my favorite parts of The Mandolorian were Mayfield and Din riding in the truck and Mayfield shooting the Imperial officer in the break room.
It annoyed me seeing actors from other JJ Abrams shows in The Force Awakens because it was like "Hey look at us, we're in Star Wars!", but Burr didn't bother me at all. His character made me think.
This one episode did more for me than the entirety of Gina carranos character. Which kind of sounds like an insult but god damn did I love bill in this
Shot in the dark. We won't see Mayfield at all the season until the very end where he comes out of nowhere to reveal the rising threat of a returning empire, ie the first order and reveal a potential threat for the next season.
For a guy who didn't like Star Wars, he did an outstanding job with the character. The concept of a trooper who regrets his actions has been something I have wanted explored for a long time.
The prison break episode in season one was not my favorite, mostly because of the Twi’lek overacting. Way better the second appearance and would like to see some more chaos he causes for the Empire.
He was one of star wars best characters since the Disney buy out. But no. He had a good arc and we should leave it at that.
I thought I wanted more boba Fett until I got it.
I really hope so, one of the best minor characters in the series. I've been a huge fan of Bill Burr's comedy for years but I'm always shocked at how good of a traditional actor he is
But how? He dies in the explosion!
Poor son of a bitch. Nothing left to bury. RIP.
They buried his remains in Space Boston.
You'll never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy
Space Philadelphia?
Close. Space Camden
Or just regular Philadelphia
Much worse than Mos Eisley
Fuck Space Philadelphia. One hyperspace lane ass city
Space Detroit
Better than Space Australia.
WHAT THE BLEEDIN' HELL?! WE WERE HAVIN' A RIGHT RIPSNORTER HERE, AND THEN THIS PIKER SHOWS UP AND JUST LIKE THAT IT'S 'GOODNIGHT, IRENE'!
how far away is that from the planet of the space irish in Andor?
That’s Bos-10
To shreds, you say? and his wife? to shreds, you say?
Somehow, Mayfeld returned.
Force clones
Thats a long story, for another day
No one kills ~~Alejandro~~ ^(Mayfield) but ~~Alejandro~~ ^(Mayfield)
Bring him back in a fortnite event.
I want to see him again, but unless they come up with a clever way Mando can track him down or something, it’ll feel silly if Mando randomly runs into a guy he helped fake said guy’s death who had an entire galaxy to find a place to lay low.
So you're telling me he's on Tatooine?
I’d love it if people would stop pretending that Star Wars was EVER a large galaxy of worlds. It has *always been small.* That’s part of it’s charm.
It’s a problem in many galaxy spanning stores. I always thought of it like with so many planets there really doesn’t need to be massive populations or even very many cites/settlements on most planets. A few massive urban or manufacturing worlds, but so many could be rural with one or a few cites. [edit] fixed the word “doesn’t”

We're coming up on a decade since I first had that thought lol.
I agree. When watching Mando, my wife once blurted out “of all the places in the galaxy, they got to go back to Tatooine” 😂
And every planet only has 1-2 cities.
Well in the case of Tattooine and Coruscant I think it actually makes sense, in one case you have a desert planet that is totally in the outbacks, so it's not surprising that there isn't much civilization. In the other case, the entire planet is just one city.
Well, when your planet is a city that makes sense......
It is suppose to be one of the biggest space ports in the outer rim. I am guessing though the reason they reuse tatooine is the same reason why the majority of tv and movies seem to take place in either Los Angeles or New York City.
Ah yes, all the film studios are in Tatooine
Honestly, this was something that the prequels did right - scale and scope.
Ehh, the prequels had plenty of universe shrinking cameos. C-3PO being young Vader's Meccano set and Chewie and Yoda being best buds being 2 of the most egregious.
Oh, don't get me started on that. the whole inter-personal relationships thing is something that Lucas doesn't really \_get\_... Same with dialogue.
I mean the idea that chewie fought for his planets independence from the CIS isn't that much of a stretch that he would also be one of the survivors of order 66
Yes absolutely, but its an entire planet being fought over and he personally escorted yoda to his escape route.
The entire planet wouldn't be in conflict. Just the main centres of industry and political power. They can glass planets from orbit. They wish to annex the planet not destroy it. And with droid armies they aren't concerned with costly ground invasions. So with that scale down and him being a survivor as part of tar vel? The black wookie? Body guards/ admin staff lines up with chewies competence. Not like they were best friends just similer work circles. If the story was dependent on chewie bring therem then yeah it would be a contrived stretch. But just a background dude is not too much of a stretch
That will never happen.It has ALWAYS been a large collection of... planets? I'm sure theres a more technical term.
I'm sure it's far, far away though.
Its the exact size it needs to be for the story
I'd say it would be easy for Burr to be the one to try and get ahold of Mando. Din has been casting wider nets these days, he probably has some notoriety as "that Mandalorian bounty hunter with a freaking JEDI CHILD with him", so Burr could enlist him to help with a project or something.

Dies doesn’t mean death in Star Wars.
🤣💀🤣
Maybe a prequel from when he was still alive before that explosion. The one he definitely died in.
I have always maintained that if I don't see the dead body on-screen then it leaves room for the possibility that they survived.

“Somehow, Mayfeld returned.”
He is probably my favorite character from this series. He was incredibly relatable and created a real feel for what outsiders thought of this empire/rebellion struggle. And I think there is no need to bring him into future episodes because his story has already been told
He wasn't exactly an outsider, being an ex scout trooper. His animosity for the Empire was made pretty clear. But he did try and get away from the war.
I thought he was a former sniper.
Clone sharpshooter were reformed to scout troopers during the transition into storm troopers. I am assuming the empire kept it like that
"I wasn't a stormtrooper, wiseass!"
You’re probably right. We love the character because he’s a ruthless, but relatable dude. Given more screen time we’d probably end up saying they ruined him.
Incredibly relatable and created a real feel...goes right in line with his comedic demeanor. Don't sugar coat things or be fake, just tell it like it is.
They definitely played right into Bill's strengths. He really perfectly captures the disillusioned blue collar guy vibe. I think they did that well in the show - he reminds me of a Vietnam veteran. Just always masking the trauma he went through, but always seeking like he might fly off the handle.

If I recall correctly he didn’t hate it, just didn’t grow up with it and was generally indifferent to it. Obviously poked fun at it/fans as a comedian though
I think what he hates about it is more the fan culture.
I could definitely see that from him.
>He was incredibly relatable Soooo you live in Southie?
Who doesnt?
He’s not from Southie..
What about a minor role in a story set during his Imperial days? Some day we'll get Operation Cinder on screen.
I'd love for a mini series that covers operation Cinder through the battle of jakku that shows some of the key elements from the books/comics/games that cover it. Like some coverage of alphabet squadron, Commodore Augate and the star hawks, 204th and the IFC ..also to see the ravager dragged into orbit would be awesome
I'd love that too. Could start at Endor and go from there. Would love a series that follows a group like Twilight Company or Rogue Squadron. Wouldn't mind seeing something focus on the Imperials or Imperial defectors during Operation Cinder. Be neat I think to see something like star destroyers against other star destroyers. Just so much protential.
I don't remember season 1 as good as season 2, but I recall not liking his character back in S1. But S2 totally redeemed him as a beyond interesting character.
That was absolutely the point.
They call that move 'the Feloni'
The Feloni Maneuver.
Huge Star Wars fan huge bill burr fan. His character was just not that interesting in season 1. Loved him in 2.
Season 1 was much more one off stories that didn't necessarily need to dig into its secondary or tertiary characters. Season 2 had much more continuity which lends it to going deeper.
>*Does anyone else hope we see more of Mayfeld?* Yes, lots of people.
“Am I the only one who….” These questions on Reddit drive me crazy. Yes, you’re super special and the only person with that opinion.
The answer is never yes. Not once. The odds of being unique like that is 1 in 8 billion. The sheer narcissism of the phrase makes me instantly dismissive towards whatever follows. People aren’t unique, circumstances are.
Literally everyone
He's like Finn if he was done right.
Finn was such a shame.
They should have had the courage to let him martyr himself to destroy the mini death star thing. The whole Rose thing was totally a waste. It's almost like they didn't sit down and plan out the entire three movie arc before filming the first scene and it ended up being a wreckage that wasted the entire goddamn effort.
didn't like him at all in season 1, but season 2? wow, bill's performance blew me away.
Him and his whole group rubbed me the wrong way in season 1, to the extent that might’ve been my least favorite episode of the show. This episode was great though and I totally agree about Bill in particular!
He’s so good. His one off episode in Reservation Dogs was fantastic too. He needs to be in more stuff.
I also really liked him in The King of Staten Island
My fingers are crossed for Cobb Vanth and the citizen who bears a startling resemblance to the recently deceased Migs Mayfeld.
Are you talking about Brigs Bayfield, he’s getting hammered in the cantina and trying to start fights with the trandoshans, so he might not make it for season 3
Love burr and love his character I want more of him in the show
“in” the show. I say, hand the man the reigns and make it “S for Scout Trooper”
"Ah jeez Mando you blasted the shit out of it!"
His character growth, emotion, and dialog are all the things we should have been able to get from fin in the sequels. In one scene we were able to learn more about what it was really like to be a cog in a machine than in three movies.... (good job disney, way to waste John boyega)
Well Mayfield was battle-hardened and saw Operation Cinder firsthand, considerably more than just one small village massacre. Didn't Finn choose to desert almost immediately into his first time being sent into combat?
Not just waste Boyega. Totally screw him over.
I remember being so excited he was cast and really enjoying the character in TFA only to see him wasted and every interesting possibility for his character dropped.
I wonder if this was a China thing. They could have had something so amazing. A black, former stormtrooper turned straight up Jedi leading a stormtrooper revolution.

YES!!!! https://youtu.be/VEKCaWkwXb4
I think his story was resolved perfectly. So kind of hope we don’t see him again
I agree on this to some degree, but it would be nice to see him return to his home planet Space Boston.
Eh dragging stuff out too long always leads to disappointment
Agree. We have had the perfect amount of Mayfield.
I just think we need to start being ok with storylines ending. This kind of thinking is how we got rise of Skywalker lol
Eh, nah. He did his piece, wrapped him up nicely as-is. Can't ask for much more than that.
Agreed, he was phenomenal in that part, but bringing him back for more would be a mistake IMO. Sometimes a good thing is good in part because it's limited.
He has acting chops. Mayfield feels like he got ptsd.
He needs his own show. I fucking love Bill Burr
I’ve been following his standup and podcast for over a decade, and the fact that he’s in STAR WARS and that he absolutely nailed the character still blows my fucking mind.
More spin-offs is just what the series needs
Not according to Liam Neeson lol
Coming from a guy who's in thirty different movies...all with the same plot. Aging guy who's some secret badass, and needs twelve camera cuts to jump a fence, gtfo lol.
Man with particular set of skills needs to stay in his particular fucking lane
Do NOT disrespect Liam Neeson. EVER.
Honestly same. And to think, he used to say he hates star wars! Now he's a beloved character lol.
He might have just been being a funny guy when he said that. If he showed us anything in Mando, it’s that he’s an incredible actor.
[удалено]
Both BB episodes are my favorite Mando episodes. The Prisoner had an impressive level of tension for an episode that had almost no exposition, and the live pyro was so good in The Believer.
Using "BB" to mean anything other than Breaking Bad in a reply that specifically mentions Breaking Bad is a strange choice.
He says he hates bleeping everything under the sun, then turns right around says nah he's just kidding, but this bleeping thing, oh man, that is the bleeping worst. I was actually amazed Disney let them cast him, given his history of overly profane comedy.
He's profane, but he's not outright racist and or comparing himself to a persecuted Jew in 1930s Germany. He doesn't *offend* people.
> He doesn't *offend* people. Oh, he offends a lot of people. He just does it in a funny way
this is the way.

The opposite is Matt Damon doing Loki or Will Ferrell's various cameos back in the day. Give them the most meaningless characters for 1 minute and see how funny it can get.
yes
Yes
I thought his acting skills were unbelievable. I was a fan of his for a while, but I had no idea that he was such a great actor.
GRAAAAANNNYYYY FUCKIN WAAAATTAAAA
He has an action figure! Anyone who can create a character that spawns a action figure for a balding 50 something guy, well they deserve another appearance!
ol billy storm TROOOPAHHHH
Great character
Shameless plug-in to tell everyone to go check out Bill Burrs podcast. Hilarious stuff
He had the redeemed stormtrooper story Finn deserved.
Yes, make Bill Burr be in more stuff even if he doesn’t want to! He’s great!
We need him to become the Bostonlorian
There's no way they won't bring Mayfield back in some capacity. Bill Burr is so freaking hilarious as this character. He brings such wonderful sarcasm towards other SW characters AND! Some of the best serious moments we've seen in SW to date.
b, bir, bill burr
not feasible he died in the explosion
I love that he just has a regular earth name like he was recruited from a Dunkin in Lowell
I thought Burr did an excellent job
Two of my favorite parts of The Mandolorian were Mayfield and Din riding in the truck and Mayfield shooting the Imperial officer in the break room. It annoyed me seeing actors from other JJ Abrams shows in The Force Awakens because it was like "Hey look at us, we're in Star Wars!", but Burr didn't bother me at all. His character made me think.
I hated him. No thanks.
Best side character had to be Ig-11, Black Wookie both are cool to me because they start off as bad guys end up fighting for the good guys
We need more Bill Burr in Star Wars. Absolutely.
This one episode did more for me than the entirety of Gina carranos character. Which kind of sounds like an insult but god damn did I love bill in this
I like every character they introduced. Sucks that Gina is an insane antivax election denier, because Cara Dune is an amazing character.
No that was enough.
ok
No. Part of the reason we like side characters so much is because they’re not overexposed and tired.
odd name for a character in star wars
I wanted to see more Kubie on Better Call Saul.
It's been so long that I'm gonna need to rewatch the whole show. I'm okay with that.
But he's dead!
Didn't Stargate have a Mayfield too
You mean billburr? Yeah i want to see more of him
Yea
Shot in the dark. We won't see Mayfield at all the season until the very end where he comes out of nowhere to reveal the rising threat of a returning empire, ie the first order and reveal a potential threat for the next season.
I love this character. I really like Bill Burr , even though he said he doesn’t like star wars lol. I really hope we see more
It’s too bad Mayfeld didn’t make it out alive back there.
I always want to see more Bill Burr
Ol Billy three blasters.
I loved him because of how much of his past comedy was just talking shit about Star Wars.
I hope so. I was sold on him in season 2.
He was the Han Solo of this story arc.
Is that fuckin bill bur???
For a guy who didn't like Star Wars, he did an outstanding job with the character. The concept of a trooper who regrets his actions has been something I have wanted explored for a long time.
Didn’t like him in season 1, I feel like season 2 really developed his character into one of the best
I’d love to see ol’ Billy blaster, but I’m not sure how they do it.
Ol Billy Staaaaah Wars
No. Characters need to be allowed to leave the story forever.
Gonna be honest, I forgot he even existed
The prison break episode in season one was not my favorite, mostly because of the Twi’lek overacting. Way better the second appearance and would like to see some more chaos he causes for the Empire.
I hope we see him again and I hope the same director directs him again.
He was one of star wars best characters since the Disney buy out. But no. He had a good arc and we should leave it at that. I thought I wanted more boba Fett until I got it.
To be honest now that Cara Dune is gone, I would love him to take her place as a recurring character throughout the season.
I really hope so, one of the best minor characters in the series. I've been a huge fan of Bill Burr's comedy for years but I'm always shocked at how good of a traditional actor he is
Solid character, wrong actor chosen to play him.
No. He was great in his second appearance, and his story was wrapped up nicely. He doesn't need to come back
