Many were surprised to see Cobb Vanth return in the latest episode.

However, his creator called it a “bummer.”

Chuck Wendig brought Vanth to life in the 2015 novel “Star Wars: Aftermath.”

He wrote two sequels, which are now collectively known as the Aftermath trilogy.

However, there were no nods to the trilogy when Cobb Vanth appeared in “The Mandalorian.”

On Twitter, Wendig said it was a “bummer” that he wasn’t credited for his contribution.

It should be noted that Wendig does not currently work for Disney.

He was fired in 2018 while working on a “Star Wars” comic and novel due to his controversial social media posts.
