Despite the fact that in the first season of the series "Mandalorets", Giancarlo Esposito played only an episodic role, Villain Muffa Gideon in his performance immediately remembered the audience due to his extraordinary charisma. Fans hope that in the second season, this character will go to the fore, because he passionately wants to get a child in his hands, better known as the baby of iodine. In addition, in the figure of Gideon, many see the key to what happened to the empire after the death of Palpatine and Darth Vader.
According to Esposito, getting ready to play Muffa Gideon, he focused on Vader:
Reflecting that this hero represents, you ask no less questions than I asked. But I immediately thought: "Wow, James Earl Jones. Darth Vader. I thought about how he influenced me and my life. About who hid under this helmet, who was dressed in this costume. It could be part of the one who is Muff Gideon, but you know what? I do not need to wear a helmet.
Esposito added that he sought to portray "someone who can be accepted for the Savior of the world." At the same time, the actor wanted his hero to be mysterious and ambiguous and viewers could not fully understand who in front of them is a hero or villain. In the end, it is still so unknown, why did he need a child.
