You keep watching because although the baby has some incredible power without
having to wield the darksaber.
I think the baby is so curious about
what this is.
So you will be enthused and inspired when you see the
scene of referring to in season 2 which is to come in October. Keep Watching.
It feels powerful, it feels wonderful.
I broke three of them last week!
The prop guys are wondering about me. because I was in...
A bit of a commotion.
And a bit of a struggle with someone else.
and which I'm hoping you
will enjoy when you see it. Major, major epic epic lightsaber action happening on this
show and I should mention that I'm the only character in this first season who
was able to be honored with having that lightsaber so it feels wonderful.
I have been able to get my hands on Baby Yoda.
I feel like we need to be able to physically...
I love to be able to touch the baby
Oh my goodness that baby's ears. You just touch it's ears. So cool.
It really feels real as well.
So, pretty amazing!
Welcome back everyone it's Charlie this is going to be my new
Mandalorian season 2 video Giancarlo Esposito the person who plays Moff
Gideon was talking all about what's going on with baby Yoda and all the darksaber
lightsaber fight scenes that he has during season two so we'll break it
all down if you're new to my channel be sure to subscribe to get all the videos
I'll be doing mandala rain season 2 videos during the off season also talked
about when they're going to release the Mandalorian season 2 trailer we'll just
do this top 5 style starting with number 5 Giancarlo Esposito was at a
comic-book convention recently talking about the Mandalorian season 2 what's
going to happen with his character moth Gideon now that we know he has the darksaber
and he's already had his first encounter with the Mandalorian baby Yoda
and his team he spent a lot of time talking about what he had to change when
he was filming with the darksaber versus using a normal type of sword in
scenes implying that there will be a lot of him using the darksaber which i
think was just a big tease at the end the season why would you whip something
out and then not use it a bunch during season two but the way that Star Wars
films lightsaber fight scenes in general is a little bit different when he says
he's wielding the darksaber because physically like the hilt in the actual
blade itself the dummy blade that they use when they're filming behind the
scenes is a little bit different from traditional lightsabers he says that his
version of the darksaber that he's using in scenes has a shorter hilt in
the blade is shorter than most lightsabers so the way he strikes people
with it is a little bit different than you would strike someone with a
traditional sword most lightsabers are all individual and unique to each Jedi
that creates them or each Sith and if you're like Anakin Skywalker and you
have a lot of technical prowess you can actually make a much more advanced
version of a lightsaber so for instance on Anakin's lightsaber you look there's
a lot of extra buttons and dials those are for adjusting the blades length its
width there are a lot of other Jedi's that make lightsabers like that but some
can be made to be a little bit more simple like Luke Skywalker's green
lightsaber that he bills before Return of the Jedi that doesn't have any
special adjustments to it so it's one single length the entire time there was
a bunch of Giancarlo Esposito talking about the physicality of using the darksaber
that I cut out of that clip but he does go on for awhile just talking about
pure fighting technique as an actor during another part of that clip he also
talks about accidentally destroying three darksabers onset during a
particular season two lightsaber fight scenes it's supposed to be crazy so
number four what is that darksaber or light saber fight scene that he's
referring to well they tease the darksaber at the
end of the Mandalorian episode aid so of course the next step in season 2 is
watching him used the darksaber on someone else either killing a random
henchman or a New Republic soldier like his own version of the rogue one Darth
Vader ending scene where he just tears through all those rebels in the hallway
also consider this at the end of the Mandalorian Episode eight the armor gave
the Mandalorian his mission to find any Jedi capable of taking baby Yoda to care
for him and train him as a Jedi so presumably will see more former Jedi who
survived order 66 just hiding out in the Outer Rim since Moff Gideon has the darksaber
it's also implied he may have stolen or collected a bunch of Jedi
lightsabers and keeping them as trophies maybe at some point he fights someone
who just gets their hands on one of those if he's saying that he's going to
have a badass lightsaber fight with the darksaber
it implies that he's fighting someone who also has a lightsaber and so far we
haven't seen any other lightsabers on the Mandalorian yet and there's only a
couple ways to get one I think based on what the actor is saying Giancarlo
Esposito his character is just a very learned in Jedi history in Jedi lore he
wasn't a Sith Inquisitor or anything like that he sounds like he was someone
who was in the Imperial Security Bureau who just uncovered a lot of Jedi
artifacts after the fall the Jedi Order at order 66 in the Great Purge of
Mandalore like it's implied that he stole the darksaber at some point after
the Great Purge so if he's stealing the darksaber in Mandalorian artifacts it
wouldn't be too much of a jump to see him stealing a bunch of Jedi artifacts -
so early prediction I'm hoping that once we get the chance to see where his
personal quarters are wherever his flagship is he has a lot of other Jedi
artifacts decorating his office and personal spaces we saw him used the
special Thai Outlander so I'm hoping that there's at least a Star Destroyer
as his flagship since there aren't very many of those left in the galaxy after
the fall of the empire in the remnants of the Imperial fleets were either
destroyed at the battle of jakku or fled into the Unknown Regions to become the
first order even though the bulk of the Imperial fleet that was left over fled
into the Unknown Regions there are still lots of Imperial assets and ships just
all over the galaxy being taken over by warlords number three he says during
that clip that Moff Gideon does get his hands on baby Yoda sometime during
season two he didn't say which episode he just says he gets his hands on him
and he has a bunch of scenes with baby Yoda and as an actor he just loves
working with the puppet version of the child and scenes but his character Mothe
Gideon thinks more of baby Yoda is a tool to wield in his attempt to bring
quote-unquote order to his territory and based on the implied cloning plot that
they teased through dr. purging his character eventually used baby Yoda's
power to take over the entire galaxy but if you watched all the Star Wars movies
you think about that for a minute I'm really curious to see how this plays out
because as badass as he seems the Mandalorian series isn't going to break the
pre existing Star Wars Canon set up by the movies and that also includes the
new movies and if those are happening about 25 years after the events of the
Mandalorian series 25 to 30 years depending on how much time passes
between force awakens and rise of Skywalker
during that period in the future there's no sign or
mention of a moth Gideon no clone army of force-sensitive troopers that he
grafted off of baby Yoda's DNA not counting all the Rebs it's troopers from
brides of Skywalker those were all different they don't have anything to do
with Moff Gideon plan but it all just implies that Mothe Gideon is not
successful or he doesn't survive into the events of the new movies or he's
redeemed himself turned good one of the other interesting things that Giancarlo
Esposito said attracted him to the role of Mothe Gideon in the first place as a
villain was the idea that there could possibly be some redemption for him so
it's possible he winds up trying to help baby yoda by the end of the series
instead of just using him like a tool number two this is also really cool he
said that baby yoda also filmed scenes with the darksaber and within the
series baby yoda is completely fascinated by it probably because it's
so shiny and babies like shiny things that make noises he kind of addresses it
during his talk there but we all know that baby Yoda is more intelligent than
he looks and during the panel Giancarlo Esposito talked about how he's very
intuitive and understanding for a baby I mean he is 50 years old so even if Yoda
species matures very slowly compared to humans he's still waste smarter than a
human baby at a comparable age and clearly he's demonstrated his
understanding of the force enough to know how to force heal people which is a
very complex ability no matter how simple rise of skywalker made it seem
but he does make it pretty clear that there's no way baby yoda
is taking the darksaber from him during season 2 or the Mandalorian for that
matter at least they won't take it from him permanently
I like his rebuttal to those kinds of questions like no no way definitely not
going to be taking that from me anytime soon
but anything is possible in the future so it just means that in a future season
the Mandalorian mic is hands on the darksaber the whole reason that George Lucas
created the darksaber for Clone Wars was because of Jon Favreau's Pre Vizsla
character in the Death Watch Mandalorians which we're also going to see
during the Clone Wars season 7 episodes when they created that character Jon
Favreau and Dave Filoni felt like there were so many Jedi that Pre Vizsla would
be going up against during the Clone Wars that he needed some special weapon
to make him a physical threat to them they went to George Lucas and together
they came up with the concept of the darksaber then Dave Filoni came up with
its backstory within the Star Wars universe
so same logic Moff gideon himself isn't a big physical threat to the mandalorian
without some special weapons so that's where the darksaber comes in it just
gives him a big edge in combat in number one does Moff Gideon himself saying
that he gets his hands on baby Yoda during season two implied that they're
going to do an empire strikes back style sequel season downer ending like a
cliffhanger where he still has baby Yoda at the end and they hit into season
three Return of the Jedi style opening with the big Mandalorian led rescue
mission to save him I mean if most of the Mandalorian series takes its
inspiration from the original trilogy they're going to hit some of those same
beats it's totally possible they do something similar and if you think about
it Moff Gideon would be a real bad character if he wasn't able to make good
on any of his threats which he's made very clearly at the end of season 1
assuming the series runs for four or five seasons is just easy slam dunk
to do at least one Empire Strikes Back style ending cliffhanger to a season but
post all your theories in the comments below what kind of lightsaber battles do
you want to see with the darksaber and what kind of scenes with baby Yoda in
Moff Gideon do you want to see I think we all just want to find out what's
going on with his crazy implied cloning plot that dr. Pershing was talking about
the Mandalorian season 2 release date is in October we're getting episodes even
earlier than we did last year so really nice surprise
but I'll keep doing bonus videos while we wait for the trailer to get here
the Mandalorian season 2 trailer will probably drop sometime in the next
couple of months everyone click here for all my
Mandalorian episodes and click here for my new Star Wars the Clone Wars season 7 episode 1
video thank you so much for watching everyone stay awesome.
This is the way!
