THE MANDALORIAN - Giancarlo Esposito Teases Moff Gideon and Thrawn May Be at Odds With Each Other
It’s been awhile since we’ve seen Giancarlo Esposito’s Moff Gideon in The Mandalorian, but we know that we’ll see him back in action at some point in the remaining episodes of Season 3. It was also recently revealed that Grand Admiral Thrawn (Lars Mikkelsen) will be making his live-action debut soon as he appeared in the trailer for Star Wars: Ahsoka.
There are some fans that think Thrawn will make his big debut in the Season 3 finale, but that might just be wishful thinking. Regardless, there is a connection between Gideon and Thrawn as they are both a part of the Imperial Shadow Council.
During a recent interview with CB, Esposito talked about the relationship between the two villains and teased that they’re at odds with each other because of Thrawn’s lack of support. The actor said:
"Admiral Thrawn hasn't really shown up for his duties and he's agreed to be a part of this council, but he's not around, so [Moff Gideon] doesn't think much of him as a leader at present. Moff Gideon is fearless and there's a danger coming to any meeting like this, but Moff is not afraid of that. He has some tricks up his sleeve in regard to that as well."
It would be pretty awesome if Thrawn did show up at some point in The Mandalorian Season 3. It’s certainly possible, but we’ll just have to wait and see. If the character does show up, I imagine it will be a final tease that sets up the Ahsoka series.
