The third season of The Mandalorian takes the series into more ambitious terrain than ever before. In the two released chapters, Jon Favreau’s script devotes a lot of time to the planet Mandalore and its history. Something that links the story with the figure of Moff Gideon (Giancarlo Esposito), the Imperial villain who led the attack that destroyed the planet. This is key to understanding din djarin (Pedro Pascal) in the new episodes and what will happen to the dark saber.
Everything indicates that Moff Gideon will be at the center of the fledgling First Order’s strategy to achieve power. A plan that is barely glimpsed through his actions, but perhaps in his obsession with the nature of the abilities of Grogu.
The character made it clear by admitting that his interest in Mando’s little pupil: was related to his blood. What could entail a large-scale plan of which there are hardly any indications, but which points to some type of genetic and/or biological manipulation.
The third season of The Mandalorian It is now available
Is Moff Gideon behind Palpatine’s Force-sensitive clones?
Is it the link that would connect the series with the events narrated by the so-called new trilogy and that involve snoke? As will be remembered, the mentor of Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) turned out to be little more than a clone of palpatine. However, the most striking thing was that the creature had a clear ability to control The force. Is it the blood of the protégé of din djarin the origin of the gloomy figure?
trapped by the new republic and in his custody, Moff Gideon, for now, seems out of any action that benefits his allies. Although it is most likely that he will return to the central plot of the series very soon. Which could mean that the tenacious persecution against Grogu and the bounty hunter played by Pedro Pascal will continue.
At the beginning of The Mandalorian, Moff Gideon he was already feared for his cruelty. By then, he had obtained the title of moff —governor of a galactic sector— and carried out his best-known mission. During the last years of the Empire, Mandalore became uncontrollableso the regime sent the official to command a total siege, which ended up destroying the cities on the planet’s surface.

It razed its most important enclaves, government buildings and emblematic constructions and made its surface uninhabitable. This forever changed the history of Mandalore culture and made the few survivors nomadic.
The fate of Moff Gideon, a man of special cruelty
The war crime made Moff Gideon in one of the most feared figures of the years before the fall of galactic totalitarianism. Later, after the defeat of his troops, he faked his execution.

The intrigues of power and a sinister scenario
What is evident is that the character is the center of a secret conspiracy to restore the Empire. A twist that could explain why he can use the scarce resources he managed to conserve after the victory of the rebel alliance for your own benefit. Even more disturbing is the possibility that his actions are linked to the total destruction of the Mandalorian people. Which would include avoiding any purpose of future reunification. When faced with din djarin with the dark saber and being defeated, gave him the right to the throne of his planet.
Something that further divides the few survivors. On the one hand, the princess Bo-Katan Kryze (Katee Sackhoff) aspires to lead her people. But now she will have to face Commanda son of the moon Concord and from the more traditional faction of Mandalore.
