Although he doesn’t know how his character could appear on the show again, he is determined not to give up on the character. Esposito said, “So what you put out is what you receive, and I believe your mind can control a lot of your circumstance. And no matter what your circumstance is, you’re able to overcome much of that circumstance if you’re in the right mindset. I am not gonna die, so, therefore, Moff Gideon is not dead!”
Viewers know howStar Warsis known for resurrecting characters.Palpatine returned inThe Rise of Skywalker, and it won’t be shocking if Moff Gideon appears inThe Mandalorianseason 4. His return might make things interesting for the fans. Gideon was experimenting with cloning in the previous season, and many fans believe the character who died at the end didn’t have a mustache, meaning he might be a Moff Gideon clone. Although this entire scenario looks exciting, it won’t be easy for the showrunners to include that storyline. The showrunners and Lucasfilm would undoubtedly be thinking about bringing back this character, but how and when remains to be seen.
