They'll be something terrible in it I'm sure. Some awful reddit theory (a character we've already met is Cass's sister, B2 becomes K2) or some cringey bit of fan-service. Disney have had too long to find a way to meddle with it (I don't even think the post-credits scene in S1 was the writers idea, and suspect it was thrown together when the show was airing to pacify the people who need everything explained and want everything in SW to be reference to itself (even when such things call the timeline into question))

I didn’t mind the last scene. Showing the slave labor behind the building of the empire’s mega weapons is kinda interesting and makes their struggle in the prison factory even more futile feeling.

That said, I’m also worried that the writers and directors of the first season are gonna have a harder time working without D+ meddling.

Crossing my fingers in the mean time.
