In a recent interview, Giancarlo Esposito confirmed there will be “epic lightsaber action” in Season 2 of The Mandalorian. Here are five characters who he could cross sabers with.
At the end of the first season of The Mandalorian, we saw Moff Gideon escape from his crashed tie fighter by cutting his way out using the Darksaber. The Darksaber is an ancient Mandalorian weapon that had been handed down from generation to generation to the current leader of the Mandalorians.
It was last seen in Star Wars Rebels in the hands of Bo-Katan Kryze. Somehow Moff Gideon ended up with the legendary blade and the actor who portrays the ruthless Imperial, recently dropped a bit of a bombshell.
He said in the upcoming season of The Mandalorian there would be “epic lightsaber action”. That is a juicy bit of news right there but it brings up more questions than answers.
Does he mean that Moff Gideon will be just using the Darksaber more in Season 2? Or will he actually cross lightsabers with another? If he does engage in one-on-one combat with another lightsaber wielder, who could it possibly be?
We will list five of the most likely options of who exactly Moff Gideon could engage in epic lightsaber action with.
