New Image of Moff Gideon in The Mandalorian Season 2


While Giancarlo Esposito may be getting at odds with Homelander in The Boys, he's also set to become the main antagonist in the second season of The Mandalorian. We just got a bunch of new images from the show, and now we have a new still of Esposito as Moff Gideon.

With Moff Gideon being the overall villain of the first season, it's going to be interesting to finally see him take center stage, especially since he's the one wielding the Darksaber now. Since the last time we saw it, it was in possession of the Mandalorians in Rebels, it's going to be interesting to see how Gideon has come to have it in his possession.

I have a feeling Sabine is going to have an important arc in this season, seeing as she was able to wield the Darksaber before. It's also rumored that she would be appearing alongside Ahsoka Tano and Captain Rex this coming season.

Going back to Moff Gideon though, he has a lot of backstories that the show has yet to unpack. We still don't know what he wants to do with Baby Yoda, and him wielding the Darksaber kind of implies that he has some knowledge of the Force. "It's so exciting for me to be in a show where I can wear a cape and own it, and where I can have a lightsaber and really own it," Esposito told Entertainment Weekly. It would be interesting to see lightsabers clash in The Mandalorian; hopefully Rosario Dawson has the chops to pull off Ahsoka's signature moves.

Catch The Mandalorian when it premieres on Disney+ this coming Oct. 30.
