The Mandalorian star Giancarlo Esposito hints that his character Moff Gideon may escape prison in season 3. The actor stars in the popular science-fiction fantasy Star Wars series as the ruthless Imperial officer who will stop at nothing to get his hands on the young Jedi apprentice Grogu (affectionately known as Baby Yoda). Following the fracturing of the evil Galactic Empire after the events ofStar Wars: Episode VI — Return of the Jedi, Gideon sought Grogu to deliver him to Dr. Pershing (Omid Abtahi) for experiments dealing with cloning and the transference of Force abilities.
The Mandalorian season 2 found Gideon successful in his mission after being thwarted numerous times by Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) and his eclectic crew of heroes, including Mandalorians Bo-Katan Kryze (Katee Sackhoff) and Koska Reeves (Sasha Banks), former Rebel Shock Trooper Cara Dune (Gina Carano), and assassin Fennec Shand (Ming-Na Wen). However, Din and his team infiltrated Gideon's flagship, rescued the child, and captured Gideon — with a little help from Luke Skywalker.
