Are you already looking forward to seeing Moff Gideon on The Mandalorian. We can't blame you. After all, the mysterious character will be played by Giancarlo Esposito and he has teased on Gideon's true motives in the Star Wars series.
Esposito recently made an appearance at the German Comic Con Dortmund where he admitted that show creator Jon Favreau didn't need to try too hard to convince him to join the series (via Comicbook.com). In addition to that, the Better Call Saul actor offered some interesting new details about his character.
"He seems to know everything, and no one knows why he knows everything, but he's just one of the wardens of a certain area of territory that's been given to him. That's what we know right now," Esposito said. He then explained that Gideon's true intentions are still unclear but he does have a plan for his territory.
"We don't quite know whether he's good or bad, but we do know that people want order," Esposito said. "Like children, they need order in their day. They need to be able to know what they're gonna do or have an idea of what that is, and to go through their day knowing that they have some kind of order, some kind of regimen. And so Moff Gideon is here to create order again."
At this point, we're not sure what to think about Gideon but since he's being played by the same man who portrayed Gus Fring, it's probably best that Mando doesn't mess with him.
Gideon may finally be introduced in the seventh episode of The Mandalorian. In the meantime, the sixth episode Chapter Six: The Prisoner is currently streaming on Disney+.
