'The Mandalorian': The Client and his associates may be predecessors of the First Order from the sequel trilogy

Surrounded by Imperial Stormtroopers at all times, the Client clearly has some connection to the Empire and therefore to the First Order. He makes things even more suspicious in his very first appearance by making a comment about returning things to "the natural order".  
PUBLISHED NOV 29, 2019

Not much is known about the true origins of the First Order, the main antagonists of the 'Star Wars' sequel trilogy, besides the fact that they originated as a number of factions left divided by the fall of the Empire. However, the new Disney+ series 'The Mandalorian' may be revealing a little more about the origins of the Order with its main villain, The Client (Werner Herzog).

Surrounded by Imperial Stormtroopers at all times, the Client clearly has some connection to the Empire and therefore to the First Order. He makes things even more suspicious in his very first appearance by making a comment about returning things to "the natural order".  

Despite clearly having some degree of authority, it's unlikely that the Client is actually a leader of whatever faction he might belong to. As far as we've found out from the movies and tie-in material, the First Order formed in the Unknown Regions at the edges of Galactic space, staying off the New Republic's radar while they rebuilt their strength.

While 'The Mandalorian' is set on the Outer Rim of the Galaxy, the worlds we've seen on the show so far are still a part of the New Republic. It's far more likely that the Client is some sort of emissary, an agent sent to ensure that "Baby Yoda" doesn't fall into the hands of the Order's enemies. 

At the moment, we don't know much about the Client's true agenda or even if he really is connected to the First Order, though all things considered it's really unlikely that he wouldn't be linked to them in some way. For all we know, he might just be the being that eventually becomes the head of the First Order, Supreme Leader Snoke (Andy Serkis), though that may be a bit of a stretch.

'The Mandalorian' Chapter 5 will arrive on Disney+ on December 6.
