With the Mandalorian season finale dropping yesterday, we finally got a good look at the season’s big bad.
Working from the shadows in typical Star Wars fashion, Moff Gideon has been behind the entire arc of the season, secretly hunting Baby Yoda and using his puppet The Client to get the creature in order to achieve his goals.
But who is the character and how does he have one of the most valuable weapons in the entire Galaxy?
Well throughout this, we’re gonna be breaking down everything that you need to know about Moff Gideon. We’ll be discussing his backstory, role before he was promoted to being a Moff and giving our theories on how he came to possess the Darksaber.
There will be heavy spoilers here so if you haven’t had a chance to watch episode eight yet and don’t want to know what happens then I highly suggest that you turn off now.
Moff Gideon’s First Appearance
We actually got our first glimpse of Moff Gideon way back at the end of Episode 5 of The Mandalorian. This episode revolved around Mando tracking down a dangerous bounty with a fresh faced mercenary named Toro played by Jake Cannavale. This put them on the warpath with a dangerous rogue imperial soldier named Fennec Shand.
Though the two managed to take her down the episode ended with a mysterious character approaching her body and from this little glimpse, many were convinced that this was Boba Fett making a return.
The Imperial Security Bereau
We also learn that before being promoted to the rank of Moff, Gideon was a member of the Imperial Security Bureau or ISB for short. This was a law enforcement branch and intelligence agency of the Empire that pretty much worked as an Internal Affairs Agency. They were in charge of State Security and Gideon was tasked with weeding out those who may be disloyal to the cause before they defected to the Rebellion.
In order to achieve a position in the ISB, Imperial Officers have to show staples of Loyalty towards the Empire and thus only the most dedicated are picked to join their ranks.
The Darksaber History
That brings us to our next question. How is it that Moff Gideon was able to obtain the Darksaber?
Well, we do discover in Episode 8 that during his time in the ISB, Gideon was tasked with making sure that Mandalore and it’s people remain loyal to the Empire and that he took part in a massacre of the planet’s population that was called ‘The Night Of A Thousand Tears.’ This Great Purge pretty much wiped out the majority pf the planet and sent those who survived into hiding.
Gideon was so instrumental in this Genocide that Mando even knows of Gideon based purely off reputation and his actions during this purge.
Moff Gideon Explained
When it comes to the ranking of Moff, this is a high position within the Empire that actually grants the officer with the position a sector of space that they have to Govern.
Though Gideon is not a Grand Moff as we’ve seen in film’s like A New Hope with Grand Moff Tarkin, he still possesses a wealth of control and though it’s never explicitly stated, it is likely that Gideon rules over the sector of space that Navarro exists in.
This is likely why he was behind The Mandalorian extinction. We know that they were laying low on the Planet and as it’s in his sector he probably dealt with their downfall personally.
