Could Moff Gideon Somehow Return In The Mandalorian And Grogu Movie? Giancarlo Esposito Weighs In
Moff Gideon seemingly perished in The Mandalorian, but fans aren’t convinced.
There are few franchises as popular as Star Wars, which is often expanding in both movies and via live-action shows that are available with a Disney+ subscription. One of the most highly anticipated upcoming Star Wars movies is Jon Favreau’s The Mandalorian and Grogu, which will continue the story that started on the small screen. But could Moff Gideon somehow return as the villain? Here’s what actor Giancarlo Esposito thinks.
What we know about The Mandalorian and Grogu is limited, but fans are eager to see the story travel to the big screen. The Mandalorian’s Season 3 finale saw the villainous Gideon seemingly perish, but some fans aren’t convinced that’s the last of him. After all, he’s shown an interest in cloning technology. While recently speaking with Deadline, Esposito addressed his possible return to the galaxy far, far away, saying:
Anything is possible. You know, I don’t know anything about that at the present, but I put out there that if they need me I’ll be there. I love what Jon Favreau, Dave Filoni, and Disney does with Mandalorian – and who knows? There may be a moment where I can swoop down and take over once again.
There you have it. Per the man himself, it doesn’t sound like Moff Gideon’s return is totally out of the question. We’ll just have to see what happens in The Mandalorian Season 4, and how that affects the developing movie.
As previously mentioned, it was revealed during The Mandalorian that he was trying to use Grogu to create force-sensitive clones of himself. So even if the OG version of Esposito’s character did die at the end of Season 3, it would be easy for a clone to pop up and cause chaos throughout the Galaxy.
