The Galaxy Is Getting Exciting Everyday

Esposito was introduced as the main antagonist ‘Moff Gideon’ in the first three seasons of The Mandalorian. Being the head of what was left of the Galactic Empire, the character was able to use his weaponry and wielded Darksaber to exterminate everyone on Mandalore. Gideon also attempted to seize Grogu several times to take the Force-sensitive blood samples from him.

The fandom is currently excited about ‘The Mandalorian & Grogu,’ the next Star Wars project. The movie will be the next chapter of The Mandalorian and occur after season 3 of the popular series.

The Mandalorian & Grogu will hit cinemas on May 22, 2026.

May the Force be with you!
