Giancarlo Esposito has brought the biggest villain of The Mandalorian to life with Moff Gideon, and his iconic Breaking Bad character, Gus Fring, is to thank for that. Esposito debuted as Moff Gideon in The Mandalorian season 1, making his first appearance in the Star Wars TV show’s first trailer despite not appearing until season 1, episode 7. Gideon has since proven himself to be a formidable foe to the titular character, Din Djarin, and the Mandalorians as a whole, as he was the one responsible for the Great Purge that nearly wiped out the Mandalorian kind.
