Greef Karga (Carl Weathers) has “ulterior motives” on The Mandalorian

Greef Karga (Carl Weathers) is returning this season on The Mandalorian. Will he try and betray Mando and Baby Yoda again, and will it stick this time?

The Mandalorian, bless it, is back in our lives, with the second season currently airing on Disney+. Although the stars are unquestionably Baby Yoda and the Mandalorian himself, in the first season the show built out a nice little stable of recurring characters, including former Rebel shock trooper Cara Dune (Gina Carano) and Greef Karga (Carl Weathers), the head of the bounty hunting guild where Mando used to get his work before he devoted himself to his surrogate son full-time.

Over the first season, Greef Karga went from being Mando’s employer to being his enemy to finally his friend, after Baby Yoda healed him. Still, there may be some simmering resentment there. If so, it’ll surely be explored in whatever episode where he and Cara Dune show back up, which we know is coming from the trailer:

According to Weathers himself, Greef enjoys “being duplicitous,” which could signal rough waters ahead for our heroes. “I personally like the fact that he doesn’t divulge a lot about himself because I think, in some ways, the less you know, the more interested you are in knowing, and Greef plays things pretty close to the vest,” Weathers said during a visit to Breakfast Television Toronto. “So I think that we… in the episode I directed, we hint that there may be some ulterior motives in Greef’s desires and what he’s after you know, his goals and I personally think that’s more than enough.”

Weathers is indeed directing an episode of the second season, one where Greef Karga will feature. (Other new directors this time around include creator Jon Favreau, who directed the premiere; Sin City director Robert Rodriguez and Ant-Man director Peyton Reed.)

As for his ulterior motives, Greef does still have a place in the post-Imperial power structures that cropped up after the end of Return of the Jedi. Although he eventually sided with Mando at the end of the first season, his original plan was to turn him and the Child over to the Client, an Imperial remnant.

Might someone have gotten to him? Will he try to betray Mando again, and will it stick this time? or is Weathers referring to something else?

We’ll find out more when The Mandalorian continues this Friday on Disney+.
