We've waited long for an episode giving her nuance and depth, and....Nothing. She remains a complete unknown, which makes her uninteresting in my eyes. You'd think she'd be driven by greed, but this episode showed that there was nothing interesting about her partnership with Fett. Just wishy-washy do-gooder stuff, with no real reason why. (As opposed to, say, Fett not simply releasing her from being indebted to him for saving her life after exactly one (1) short mission).She's basically nothing more than the inevitable action figurine.Compare to Krrsantan, the black Wookie. The scene where he could have let the lizard man go, but still decided to tear him apart, instantly made him much cooler and interesting. He already has all the motivation he needs (to accept working for Fett); after all Fett released him when he should have killed him.Imagine how many much more interesting setups this episode could have given us for Shand. Even the tired old "road to redemption" would have been something. But we can do much better without even trying. Fett realizing Shand works for really terrible people or has committed an atrocity in the past, and not releasing her from her debt until he's made her see his point. (Making Shand resentful while at the same time reluctantly admiring Fett would at least be something for Wen to hook onto!) The new gut not working perfectly (after all, why would a random bodymod parlor be capable of permanently fixing an injury as serious as this? If this type of tech is as cheap and bountiful as this it makes you wonder how many Stormtrooper lives could have been saved...), so Shand tagging along until she can pay for a proper upgrade.Makes you shake your head at how they went with the most obvious most pedestrian least intriguing choice at every juncture.</blockquote>
