Similarly, in the original Star Wars trilogy, fans were introduced to one of the most iconic villains of all time and were given fragments of Vader's backstory, but viewers were still largely only presented with the knowledge that once there was a good man before he put on the helmet. By the time the original trilogy is over, viewers know that Darth Vader was once a promising young Jedi, but they don't know that actual character, only that he once existed.

Dutch's origins as a runaway from his impoverished family struggling to make it, and his turn to thievery for survival, also lay the foundation for the gang itself. Dutch feels like an outsider in the frontier, a misfit that dreams of a better life. As such, he collects other outsiders struggling to make it and brings them into his family. He finds a brother in Hosea when they try to rob each other, similar to Anakin finding a brother in Obi-Wan Kenobi, and the two form the bedrock of the Van Der Linde Gang.

After looking in the area, he discovers a dead animal - which happens to be the aforementioned lion, which is actually just a Labrador with a mane.
