He missed! He won't next time. Our blasters are useless against him. Hey let's make
the baby do the magic hand thing. Come on baby do the magic hand thing!
I'm out of ideas.
Welcome back everyone, it's Charlie this is going to be my new
video for the Mandalorians season 2 Giancarlo Esposito Moff gideon himself
was at the TCA's recently and talked about what's going on during season 2
revealed a whole bunch of plot details so we'll do a top 10 breakdown if
you're new to my channel I'll be doing Mandalorian bonus videos until season 2
episodes get here later this year the reason almost done filming all the
season 2 episodes they've been filming for a long time now if you guys didn't
realize so obviously careful for spoilers for everything from season 1 if
you haven't watched the season 1 episodes yet but Giancarlo Esposito
talked about everything from having flashbacks to the Great Purge with the
Mandalorian character because he was on Mandalore during all that the darksaber
he talked about his evil machinations and his plans for the baby oda character
he didn't call himself evil though no great villain thinks of themselves as
evil but starting with number 10 we have to address George Lucas on set so Jon
Favreau was recently filming I believe it was episode 5 or episode 6 of the
Mandalorian George Lucas visited the set again just like he did during season 1
to see what they're up to this time because there's no great secret about
the baby Yoda character he actually took a picture of George Lucas holding him so
Papa bless there's all these classic pictures of George Lucas with the Yoda
puppet he's so protective of it he's basically Yoda's father within the
context of making Star Wars so think of him as the grandfather or the Godfather
at least of baby Yoda a lot of people have also asked if George Lucas visiting
the set so much and the mandalorian blowing up so big if George Lucas would
ever come back to direct in episode of the Mandalorian I don't know if he would
ever direct a full episode because he's effectively in retirement but there's
always the possibility that George Lucas could direct some scenes during the
mandalorian I don't know if he would ever want to do it a full episode but if
jon favreau ever reveals any details like that of course i'll include it in
one of my videos steven spielberg for instance directed some of the scenes
during the final fight between Anakin Skywalker and obi-wan during Star Wars
Episode three so George Lucas might do something like that with the Mandalorian
or one of the other Disney Plus series they'll finish filming all the season 2
episodes in the next couple of weeks by the end
February basically so we'll probably get the first big teaser trailer for the
mandalorian season - by the spring but number 9 Giancarlo Esposito was at the
TCA is this past week he did this big interview talking about all these season
two mandalorian details so of course everyone was asking him what is your
plan for baby Yoda what is Moff Gideon Walt with him what's going on with the
darksaber are you going to have any flashbacks with the Mandalorian
character the answers that he gave is kind of circuitous so I'm just going to
paraphrase him a little bit he says with someone who is advanced in a certain way
you could want to be their best friend or you could want to co-opt what's
inside them to figure out how to make all of us a little better at humanity so
it's that power and control of a Moff leader who is trying to put the universe
back together he's exaggerating a little bit when he talks about universe
obviously we're just talking about the one galaxy that most of the Star Wars
stories take place in he then references the characters history and why he knows
all these things why he knows about baby Yoda why he understands him in a way
that the Mandalorian character doesn't yet like you might think that you know
how important he is but you don't I assure you during that big scene in
Episode eight so number eight he just confirms a couple big plot teasers and
things that they set up during season one in certain scenes but never fully
answered before the finale a lot of hanging plot threads they had to address
during season two when is the mysterious doctor purging in his ties to the
cloning facility on Kamino - they're sampling of baby Yoda's DNA in that bio
bed in Episode three before the mando came back to save him and then three the
fact that Moff Gideon still wants baby Yoda alive in the finale like the
bumbling scout trooper said played by Adam pally and Jason Sudeikis most
people will just remember them as the baby Yoda punchers that big twist in the
finale though it was kind of interesting because during episode 3 when the mando
was rescuing baby Yoda doctor purging claimed that he's the only reason that
he's still alive he'd be dead if it weren't for me I've been trying to save
him why then was it so important that Moff Gideon get baby Yoda back alive in
the finale it probably has something to do with the viability of the cloning
process but I'll talk about that in a second number seven the really funny
thing though the Adam pally told about this scene when they were filming it
with the baby Yoda character he said in the very first take he punched baby Yoda
so hard that jon favreau on set called cut walked over to him very
a and said you know I know we have to do this scene you're supposed to punch the
puppet there but I just want to let you know that that puppet cost five million
dollars just want to let you know that before we start doing more takes most
people watching that scene weren't thinking about that they're just really
upset that he was punching baby Yoda how dare you punch baby Yoda but in real
life that tiny little puppet that they use for baby Oda really did cost five
million dollars so Jon Favreau was just telling him please don't break the prop
because it'll cost a ton of money to make another one but number six all the
things that Giancarlo Esposito is saying just confirms a lot of our suspicions
that not only does he want to use baby Otis DNA in cloning techniques to create
an army of super clones that are force sensitive like an army of clone
inquisitors he also wants to continue using baby Yoda himself twisting him to
his purpose the same way that the Emperor wanted to use Anakin Skywalker
and then tried to use Luke Skywalker and even Rey during the new trilogy the
reason why everyone is so hot on clones after the events of the original trilogy
is that by the time of a new hope most of the clone army had died off there
were still some clones running around in Commander Cody for instance is still
kind of left in this ambiguous state you don't know if he's alive if he's dead so
presumably he's still running around the galaxy somewhere but during the course
of the original trilogy and then even through the events of the new trilogy
most of the troops you see walking are the stormtroopers the first-order
troopers and in the red Sith troopers are all made up of normal
people now they get those people from different places but after the events of
the original trilogy you have a lot of people wanting to go back to using
clones for their armies just because they're so much easier to program in
control so Moff Gideon just wants a very controllable army of force sensitive
warriors that he can send around the galaxy they kind of did that during the
Clone Wars animated series where Emperor Palpatine was trying to steal the
force sensitive children of Jedi and twist them to the darkside to raise
them to be inquisitors so number five when Moff Gideon says he's quote-unquote
putting the galaxy or the universe back together after the fall of the Empire
he's on the same kind of bend that Darth Vader was on I have a very strong idea
of what order looks like and I'm going to bring my order to the chaos that is the
galaxy right now and even though we only got a glimpse of the New Republic during
the course of season one remember during episode six there on the prison
ship that belongs to the New Republic Matt Lanter who was the voice of Anakin
Skywalker on Clone Wars played that trooper right now while this is all
going on in the Mandalorian you have Leia and the other rebellion leaders
trying to form the new Republic it's still in his very early stages and you
have a slightly older Luke Skywalker spending most of his time flying around
the galaxy trying to stamp out the remnants of the Empire and the new
warlords that rose up in their absence people like Moff Gideon all over the
galaxy remember the Mandalorian series takes
place in a relatively small sector of the galaxy so even though Moff Gideon
seems like a really big figure you're really only talking about a small piece
of this giant puzzle which is number four the main reason why Luke Skywalker
isn't anywhere near this stuff boy you haven't seen him on the series yet
mostly because they don't want to recast an adult Luke Skywalker right now but
within the logic of the story Luke is so busy on the other side of the galaxy and
it's a huge galaxy he just hasn't heard anything about a baby Yoda running
around forced choking people yet there's nothing in any of the story that they've
created for the Star Wars Expanded Universe the new expanded universe that
says anything about Luke Skywalker's contact with the baby Yoda character not
because they don't want us to know just because they literally have not written
that story yet and Jon Favreau was so secretive about the baby Yoda character
when they created it for the Mandalorian series number three Giancarlo Esposito
also talked about the history of the darksaber because it was a really big
deal that he got to use it during the finale he said that he didn't realize
that he was going to get to use it till right before they filmed that scene but
he confirmed where he acquired it when he acquired it it was on Mandalore
during the great purge which is also when he learned everything about these
main characters he says all these things about their backstories revealing that
he knows a lot of their secrets they don't realize what's going on till the
Mandalorian remembers that he was on Mandalore before the great purge is an
imperial security bureau officer so Giancarlo Esposito just clarified that
it's not that he knows everything about everyone it's just that he has access to
the Mandalorians database and informational archives that he collected
during that period of the great purge that's also when he came into possession
of the darksaber you'd remember that the branch of the military that he
belonged to is mostly tasked with internal security and information
gathering literally combing through other people's databases so that's what
he would have done when they started occupying Mandalore so cut to present
day he just has access to all these informational archives and was able to
research these people when they found out who it was
stole baby Yoda Oh was a Mandalorian which Mandalorian okay let's look him up
in the computer in reality the Mandalorian grief carga cardoon aren't
people that he would normally care about like he wasn't tracking them until they
got involved with baby Yoda number two a really good example of what Moff Gideon
would have been doing was during rogue one when they go to scare up to steal
the Death Star plans the facility is an ASB facility where Moff Gideon would
have had regular access where they store a lot of their secret information
remember one of the secret plans they find while they're looking for the Death
Star plans is project black saber just to be clear black saber isn't the same
thing as the darksaber black saber was a secret project that the emperor
commissioned but was meant to be part of a future movie plot that never panned
out so maybe they'll decide to bring back that quote unquote black saber
Easter egg in a future Disney Plus series but number one the other big
characters so there's a lot of talk of Sabine Wren Bogut and Crees Tamira
Morrison coming back as one of the clones or Commander Cody he just happens
to be the biggest clone maybe even a so kitano and even I didn't versio the
character played by Jane again Kivar during the battlefront series because
she was asked recently to on Twitter like are you coming back for this so all
these people that have played characters during the clone wars during Star Wars
rebels are all keen to come back and start during the series but in terms of
how many of them I think that they'll actually include just remember the
amount of fanservice that they did during season one so episode five
probably the most fanservice each episode of the Mandalorian season one
they go to Tatooine they do all the original trilogy and prequel shout outs
she has the high ground it's no use they tease Boba Fett but they never
really answer that of course they're going to follow up on that during season
two but just expect that level of fanservice during season two so maybe a
couple episodes maybe one or two characters from some of those original
series in anybody they don't include during season to remember the
Mandalorian will probably run for at least four or five seasons in there the
other Disney Plus series like the obi-wan series now there's even a rumor
dat Knights of the Old Republic Disney Plus series even though that be said
thousands of years in the past there'd be a completely different group of
characters but let me know in the comments what kind of flashbacks do you
want to see during season two do you want to see some baby Yoda flashbacks I
don't think they'll explain everything about his character but maybe a couple
things that'll give you an idea for where he came from and just a reminder
that the Clone Wars Season 7 episodes are going to start February 17th
but congratulations to the giveaway winner from my last big star wars video
