The Mandalorian star Giancarlo Esposito addressed whether his character Moff Gideon will return to the Star Wars universe, giving fans a much-needed update about the iconic villain.

Since The Mandalorian season 1, Moff Gideon has stood out as the show's most prominent and fearsome villain. Esposito's commanding presence and extraordinary performance make his character one of the most imposing and threatening figures in the Star Wars universe.

While speaking on a panel at Mega Con Orlando (via Star Wars Net), Esposito reiterated his eagerness to return to his role as Moff Gideon in The Mandalorian, even though the character died in the season 3 finale. 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 can 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 how Star Wars is known for resurrecting characters. Palpatine returned in The Rise of Skywalker, and it won’t be shocking if Moff Gideon appears in The Mandalorian season 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.

The Mandalorian world is fascinating, and fans are always excited whenever any update is shared. It has already been confirmed that a Mandalorian spin-off movie titled The Mandalorian and Grogu will start production later this year. Even though no further details have been confirmed about the film, fans want to know how it will fit into the ongoing timeline of the Disney Plus series. Nevertheless, having Esposito back as Moff Gideon is truly mouth-watering.

The Mandalorian seasons 1-3 are available for streaming on Disney Plus.
