John 2,032 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 I doubt he'll have any backstory that's revealed in future episodes. He's just a secondary character, the Nazi-like henchman of a bigger baddie, much like Tarkin was in ANH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bilbo 3,709 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 I imagine the post is about Tom Hanks' character working in a post sorting centre and he comes across a mislapped package. He then spends the two hour runtime returning said package further enshrining his "good guy" image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
