We haven’t heard or seen any of Moff Gideon since the end of season 2’s the mandalorian, and with him being such a main antagonist for two seasons with the dark saber, it makes you wonder if he’s going to return or not, like more villains do. As a high-ranking member of the Empire, he would have had access to resources and connections that the average citizen could only dream of. This means that it would have been relatively easy for him to secure the help of the Empire in escaping from his tribunal. The Empire would have seen the capture of Moff Gideon as a significant loss, and they would have done everything in their power to prevent it.
Now after the fully operational death star, the empire just muscled there way throughout the galaxy, using their military strength to get whatever they watned, and the reason for this was because nobody could stand up to them once the death star existed, simply because if you resisted, your planet would get blown up.
Moff Gideon is a cunning and resourceful individual, as evidenced by his successful takeover of the Mandalorian Darksaber. It is entirely within his character to have planned and orchestrated his escape from the war tribunal with the help of the Empire. He would have known the risks and consequences of being captured, and he would have done everything in his power to avoid it.
Now, I always thought there was someone far more powerful above moff gideon who was pulling the strings, and if this goes into the sequel trilogy then we get snoke and palpatine and all that but let’s just keep it more contained to this timeline for now. So let’s assume that it could be Thrawn or someone above Moff Gideon. Now, if Mofff Gideon is as valuable as we think he is to whomever, then perhaps his boss Thrawn perhaps, will do everything he can to get him out of that hearing. Now, the guys with pershing and the others here at the table mentions how he heard moff gideon escaped during his transport to the war tribunal. Now if we’ve ever seen any old school prison escape movie, most of the escaped happen during transports from one prison to another, or one spot to the next, transporting inmates. This could indeed have happened with Moff Gideon for sure where a massie squad of tie fighters appeared out of nowhere and held the ship hostage that was transporting Gideon. From there, stormtroopers and maybe even dark troopers would have entered the ship and escorted him out into an imperial vessel, making him free out there somewhere in the galaxy. Moff Gideon was hellbent on capturing Baby Yoda, and I think it’s because he wanted to use his blood for some gene splicing like Dr Pershing mentioned in his seminar in the opera house on coruscant. I believe Pershing was very valuable to the empire because of his unique ability and research discoveries with cloning that perhaps no one else other than the long eradicated kaminoans were able to figure out. The first cloned being was a mutated creature with shovels for hands that he kaminoans used as diggers. You can learn all about them and the history of Kamino in my Kamino history video i released several years back.
With Moff Gideon out there, he will be on the hunt for Mando and this time with a vengeance like never before so that he’ll never get captured again. He could hire the world’s most dangerous bounty hunters…Dengar….Bossk…Maybe he’ll reach out to Boba through a messenger who will inform Mando of what’s to come. I think things could heat up really fast with Moff Gideon on the loose and it would only endanger grogu even more. Imagine for a second that Omega and the bad batch are still alive and they get a request from someone to get the child, bringing them in to the whole cloning life once again with pershing and the operations.
