In this Star Wars explained video, we talk about Moff Gideon in The Mandalorian Season 3 and a dark past that connects to Darth Vader, Palpatine’s Contingency Plan, Grogu, Order 66 and the Jedi Order. He was trying to harvest Grogu’s blood for the high midichlorian count – this will lead to Snoke but could Gideon also be trying to empower himself?

He has the Dark troopers and clearly wants more power and in this Star Wars theory, we look at if Giancarlo Esposito’s character is force sensitive and whether he might have trained as a Jedi youngling at the Jedi temple on Coruscant before being kicked out. We also explore Thrawn and how this could all play out in the Mandalorian universe.
