Moff Gideon – Giancarlo Esposito
Antagonist Moff Gideon was introduced towards the end of the first season and he is a former Imperial boss who has his eye on The Child.
At the end of the first season, he almost killed The Mandalorian and his friends, but they managed to escape through a tunnel. The Mandalorian then shot him down in a final shootout.
However, he managed to survive and emerged from his ship in possession of the Darksaber – an ancient saber which would later be wielded by Darth Maul.
Fans believe the Darksaber storyline will continue into the second season and they are excited to learn more about Gideon’s past.
The character is played by Giancarlo Esposito, who is best known for his role as Gus Fring in Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul.
During an interview on Late Night with Seth Meyers, the actor said he wanted to spend all of his time with Baby Yoda.
He added: “I have to pinch myself that I’m a part of this franchise because as a young man I watched Star Wars and I was taken to a different Galaxy, a different place, yet I acknowledged and recognised that there was some mythological story being told here that I thought had relevance and merit to my life.”
