The Mandalorian Moff Gideon (Spoilers)

I think The Mandalorian takes place before Palps returned in the flesh, he's probably still a disembodied spirit somewhere. Gideon almost certainly has a boss though.

 

Never know, Gideon himself might have undergone some M-Count infusion in his younger days and is trying to find a way to replicate it. If he is indeed just a remnant and not part of Palpatine's web he wouldn't have access to the original experiments and that's why he keeps getting failures.

 

M-Count is the new T-Virus.

 

According to the TROS novel Palps jumped bodies mid-fall in ROTJ, so he's already in the flesh on Exegol by this point.

 

yeah, he's burning through clone bodies similar to Dark Empire.

 

Does Gideon’s lightsaber look more cartoonish than the lightsabers in the movies? I’m being literal here. The special effects for it make it look like it’s a cel animated cartoon.

Also Gideon’s costume looks like he was invited to a Star Wars themed costume party at the last minute and he didn’t quite have all the right materials to pull off a Vader costume but he said “screw it I’m still going as Vader!”

 

The dark saber is more unique so maybe that’s why

 

For me, for what we saw at the end of the latest Chapter, Moff Gideon, like Snoke and Palpatine, is pure evil personified.

Like Snoke and Palpatine, he appeared to take sadistic pleasure in beings suffering. Firstly Grogu's desperation in trying to get rid of the Stormtroopers and even the Stormtroopers themselves. He stopped the other Stormtroopers by his side from rendering help and couldnt care less if the ones that Grogu was battering died. And then his mannerisms towards Grogu after he was spent using the Force held no compassion or emotion whatsoever, just satisfaction with his level of power that he hopes to extract from Gideon.

For me, this is evil in its purest form - those that take sadistic pleasure from the suffering from others. No conflict in emotion, no empathy, no compassion and so on. Just pure sadistic evilness.

 

I wish Gideon had been watching the whole battle from a view screen on his ship, explaining the tactical capabilities of mortars, e-webs, and giant boulders, ordering the Stormtrooper platoon like a game of Command and Conquer. "Aha, my Dark Troopers have just finished their construction queue. Check mate."

 

Gideon panicked after losing his Death Troopers, and contacted Hammer to make some Dark Trooper drones,lol.

 

I´m still hoping for more about Gideon. At this point, he is a little "evil for the sake of it", and I´m not sure why he would command any kind of loyalty, seeing how he is constantly wasting his troops like he still has unlimited resources. I mean, from Bo Katan´s episode we know he is feared, but like Tarkin´s pragmatism and Krennic´s ambition, I´m still very interested in getting to see more about what motivates this man, how he sees the galaxy, and in which ways he hopes to reshape it.

Haha, don't want to get my hopes high on getting Rom Mohc!

 

The many similarities that The Mandalorian shares with the movie Willow in story and character traits/types(even composited), I more lean towards Gideon being a General Kael type. Heck, even Queen Bavmorda's throne looked like Emperor Palpatine's on Exegol.

 

I certainly hope we get the Gideon goods next week. I was really expecting to see more of him throughout this season.

 

I think that Gideon does have some kind of desire for Force powers, or at least a deep admiration of them. He's clearly a Vader wannabe, with the rhyming imagery of Vader's suit and the need to wield the dark saber.

This guy definitely has his own aspirations and isn't merely someone else's pawn. So if Pershing was able to make the Force transfusion workable, I'm sure Gideon would sign up.

 

Gideon attempting to inject Grogu's Force powers into his own body which would then mutate him into some sort of crazed huge/strong hideous monster sounds kinda terrible to me but it also sounds like the kind of thing that would totally happen.

 

That’s what’s so great about the darksaber, IMO. It looks like a tear in the fabric of reality. Like dark matter or something. So yeah. It does look like cel animation. Unreal, essentially. And that makes it more unsettling in my view.

 

Midichlorians don't create the Force, they just allow living things to "communicate" with the Force.

The Force is an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and penetrates us; it binds the galaxy together.

 

I was onboard with Moff Gideon being the big baddie until he tried to off himself.
Just another minion.

 

That was some great acting by Espisito though. Pure fear.

 

Speculation is that Thrawn is Gideon's boss but I just don't see Gideon succumbing the power he's gained to play patsy to someone that's only another of Palpatine's minnions, Vader I could see but not Thrawn. Could there be a 2nd Sith apprentice, just as Palps had a contingency plan for being beaten by Anakin and Luke, did he have a contingency for another apprentice?

 

I think he reported to Palpatine in exile. His mission was to find a strong force sensitive and extract their high midichlorian count blood for use in the creation of Snoke after Palpatine's clone son turned out to be a force dud.

 

That's right, no way can Thrawn be anything but an equal.
