The Mandalorian season 2, episode 6 features a slew of mugshots in the New Republic prison registry, showing some of the galaxy’s most dangerous criminals. The Star Wars universe has always had an affinity for law-breaking rogues - something that The Mandalorian takes full advantage of - and “Chapter 14: The Tragedy” is no exception.
At the end of the episode, Din Djarin returns to Nevarro and learns that Cara Dune has become a New Republic marshal, and asks that she assist him in locating criminal Migs Mayfeld via the prison registry system. Djarin intends to spring Mayfeld out of prison, providing the criminal can locate Moff Gideon’s light cruiser and, thus, Baby Yoda. While using the registry, Dune cycles through a number of criminal mugshots before landing on Mayfeld, giving audiences a taste of Star Wars’ wretched underworld.
While each mugshot seems fairly nondescript, Aurebesh text (Star Wars’ main written language) is included which, when translated, reveals more information about each criminal and their prison sentence. From theft and forgery, all the way up to full-blown murder, their crimes are numerous and could be explored in various spinoffs materials in the coming years.
Vorg Alsum, species unknown, was a male criminal serving a 35-year sentence on the Delrian Prison Planet for stealing speeders. It’s likely that Alsum’s species is new to the franchise and could possibly appear in further episodes of The Mandalorian. Additionally, the Delrian Prison Planet first appeared in a supplement guide for the non-canon Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game.
Nilox Cabin-Roves is a male, human criminal serving a 35-year sentence in Sunspot Prison for forgery - specifically of New Republic credits. A prison housed inside a space station, Sunspot orbited a star (hence the name) and was originally created to hold Imperial prisoners.
Sethro Dagri, species unknown, was a male criminal serving a 70-year sentence in Megalox Beta Penitentiary for extortion and murder. While Dagri’s species has yet to be officially identified, he looks human but with facial scarring, hinting at an event-filled backstory. Megalox first appeared and was featured in Marvel’s Poe Dameron comic book series.
Torbill Danzin was a male, human criminal serving a 25-year sentence in Sunspot Prison for attempting to kidnap a senator. Curiously, Danzin shared his name and sentence (though not his species) with another Sunspot prisoner.
The second (or first?) Torbill Danzin is a male, Tusken Raider criminal who is also serving a 25-year sentence in Sunspot Prison for attempting to kidnap a senator. Whether the shared name and credentials have an in-universe explanation or were merely a production error, they add something to the prisoner roll-call and conjure images of a Spartacus-type situation.
Carto Deeves, species unknown, is a male criminal serving a 25-year sentence in the Wobani Penitentiary for assaulting a New Republic officer. While Deeves’ species has yet to be officially identified, he looks human but with some facial tattoos and a bald head. Rogue One leader Jyn Erso was also a prisoner on Wobani, but was held in an Imperial labor camp as opposed to the penitentiary, before being rescued by an extraction team. Additionally, Wobani is an anagram of Obi-Wan.
M’dwello Di, gender unknown, is a Kajain’sa’Nikto (Red Nikto) criminal serving a 30-year sentence on Tamazall for piracy. Di appears to be a common surname among Nikto people, with Jedi Ima-Gun Di and crime lord Rinnrivin Di as earlier examples in the Star Wars franchise. Like the Delrian Prison Planet, Tamazall first appeared in a supplement guide for 1989’s non-canon Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game. Additionally, Nikto first appeared in 1983’s Return of the Jedi - most notably as employees of Jabba the Hutt. Perhaps M’dwello worked for Jabba before his imprisonment?
Gapgrin Dozito, gender and species unknown, is a criminal serving a 25 year sentence on Selnesh for attempting to hijack ships. While Dozito’s species has yet to be officially identified, other members of his race have appeared in both Star War: The Force Awakens and The Mandalorian - namely Scrapjaw Motito, a scavenger from Jakku, and an unnamed individual who almost made away with Mando’s jetpack in “Chapter 10: The Passenger”. Additionally, the prison planet Selnesh first appeared in Erin Endom’s non-canon short story “Do No Harm” from Star Wars Adventure Journal.
Yath Endidee, gender unknown, is a Quarren criminal serving a 40-year sentence on Virujansi for attempted murder and resisting arrest from New Republic officers. Quarrens first appeared in Return of the Jedi and have popped-up in various Star Wars media over the years - including The Mandalorian, with Quarrens featuring heavily in “Chapter 11: The Heiress”. Additionally, the planet Virujansi first appeared in Alan Dean Foster’s 1976 novelization of A New Hope.
Ghosla Fular, gender unknown, is a Mon Calamari criminal serving a 30-year sentence in Sunspot Prison for forgery - just like Nilox Cabin-Roves. Mon Calamari first appeared in Return of the Jedi and, like Quarrens, have continued to flourish within the Star Wars universe. Notable members of the Mon Calamari race include Jedi Eekar Oki and Nahdar Vebb, and Admiral (“It’s a trap!”) Ackbar.
Sart Juloss, gender unknown, is a Hassk criminal serving a 25-year sentence on Selnesh for attempting to hijack ships. Hassks are a relatively recent addition to Star Wars, first appearing in Greg Rucka’s 2015 novel Smuggler’s Run: A Han Solo & Chewbacca Adventure before appearing in The Force Awakens - with a few Hassks seen to frequent Maz Kanata’s castle.
Avrac Kefundee, gender and species unknown, is a criminal serving 25-years in the Wobani Penitentiary for assaulting a New Republic officer. A helmet obscures most of Kefundee’s face, offering little information about the character - though a human-looking nose can be glimpsed through the helmet's visor.
Thene Kross is a male, Zabrak criminal serving 30 years on the prison moon Oovo IV for stealing starships and resisting arrest. Known for their distinctive, horn-studded crowns, the Zabrak species first appeared in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace - with Sith Lord Darth Maul among their number. Additionally, Oovo IV was introduced via the non-canon video game Star Wars: Episode I Racer from 1999. Boba Fett’s father Jango also stole his ship, Slave I, from the prison moon - originally designed to guard and patrol Oovo IV. Slave I, under Boba’s command, has featured in The Mandalorian season 2.
Chargutt Lo, gender unknown, is a Gamorrean criminal serving 15 years on Garen IV for aggravated assault. Gamorreans first appeared in Return of the Jedi, employed as guards by Jabba the Hutt, and can be seen dueling in a presumably-illegal cage-match in the first episode of The Mandalorian season 2, titled “Chapter 9: The Marshal”. Garen IV was first mentioned in Carolyn Golledge’s non-canon short story “Firepower” from Star Wars Adventure Journal, marking the second SWAJ reference in the mugshot lineup.
Migs Mayfeld (Bill Burr) is a male, human criminal serving 50 years in the Karthon Chop Fields for facilitating the escape of a prisoner - as seen in The Mandalorian season 1, episode 6, "The Prisoner". Recruited by Ranazar Malk to rescue Qin, a Twi’lek criminal, from the New Republic’s Bothan-Five ship, Mayfeld was trapped in one of the ship’s cells after betraying Din Djarin and later added to the prison registry. In “Chapter 14: The Tragedy”, Djarin reveals his intention to bust Mayfeld out of prison, hoping that the criminal will assist him in hunting down Moff Gideon. As such, Mayfeld is highly likely to appear later in season 2.
Biran Redben is a male, human criminal serving 50 years on Tamazall for medical malpractice. Redben actually appeared in The Mandalorian season 2, episode 2, "The Passenger", wherein he ambushed Djarin and Baby Yoda but was defeated in combat, along with the rest of his attack party, and presumably arrested not long after.
Pretts Rulato is a male, human criminal serving 50 years on Clak’dor V for manslaughter and industrial negligence. Like the Delrian Prison Planet and Tamazall, Clak’dor V first appeared in a supplement guide for the non-canon Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game.
Unga Toba, gender unknown, is an Aqualish criminal serving twenty-five-years on Lola Sayu for unlawful computer access. Aqualish first appeared in the original Star Wars, including thug Ponda Baba who gets his arm sliced off by Obi-Wan Kenobi in the Mos Eisley Cantina. Lola Sayu’s Citadel first appeared in Star Wars: The Clone Wars and was originally established to imprison rogue Jedi.
Scurto Tobbs is a male, human criminal serving 45 years in the Karthon Chop Fields for the transport of class 4 contraband. With a helmet that resembles RoboCop, Tobbs is one of the most distinctive human beings in the mugshot lineup - and a smuggler, to boot.
Borbin Todds, gender unknown, is an Aqualish criminal (like Unga Toba) serving 25 years on Jubilar for harboring wanted fugitives. Jubilar first appeared in Daniel Keys Moran’s non-canon short story “The Last One Standing: The Tale of Boba Fett” from 1996’s Tales of the Bounty Hunters and marked the location of Boba’s first encounter with Han Solo.
