what do you got there?
I didn't think I'd see this again.
why don't you hang on to that.
welcome back everyone hopefully you've had a chance to see the Mandalorian
finale by now this is going to be my season 2 teaser video setup jon favreau was
talking about what's going to be happening during season 2 they're almost done
shooting it right now so be sure to subscribe to get all the videos if
you're brand new to my channel I will keep doing bonus videos while we wait
for it to come back thankfully we won't have to wait that long before we
actually get it but I will say cursory spoiler warning for everything from the
Mandalorian season 1 before we talk about this I'll just do this top 10
style starting with number 10 obviously where did Moff Gideon get the darksaber
from and what are they going to do with it during season 2 because you wouldn't
whip something like that out if you didn't want it to be a big thing next
season I feel like this is actually one of the easier questions to answer
because they gave us all the backstory we need on his character in the history
of the Mandalorian people during the time period between Episode four a new
hope and Return of the Jedi the period that they keep referring to as the Great
Purge of the Mandalorian people by the Empire as stated during the episode moth
Gideon was an is be Imperial security bureau officer working on Mandalore
during the purge this is probably before he was promoted to full moff and was
just an admiral or high admiral in the imperial navy the last known person to
wield the darksaber was Bo Katan Kryze at the end of Star Wars rebels which
took place one year before a new hope Bo Katan Kryze if you're not familiar
or you didn't watch Star Wars rebels is the younger sister of duchess satine
Kryze longtime love interest of obi-wan Kenobi during the Clone Wars but cara
dune then says Moff gideon was tried for war crimes implying that he did really
really terrible stuff during the war in the Mandalorian then implies Moff Gideon
pilfered Mandalorian informational archives and making this sort of a world
war 2 analogy think of Gideon as being like one of the during World War
two pilfering famous art and family heirlooms when they were tearing through
Western Europe so you have to imagine that the Empire is tearing through
Mandalore trying to get rid of the Mandalorian people just stealing
treasures left and right from all the famous families it's not confirmed that
he killed Bo Katan Kryze but it just implied that at some point he either
captured her or captured their family home and simply took the darksaber for
himself during that they spent a lot of time during the episode teasing the idea
of finding other Jedi and were sensitive people out there people
that might have lightsabers so to balance the scales of good and evil it
would make sense that they would introduce something like the darksaber
again through Moff Gideon's character number nine what is the darksaber where
does it come from so if you're not familiar with the darksaber is actually
just a regular light saber that was created by the first Mandalorian that
became a member of the Jedi Order this was all thousands of years ago after the
great war with the Jedi like during the episode the armorer told tales of the
history of their wars with the Jedi that was all taking place during the fall of
the Old Republic which was thousands of years ago so after that at some point
there was a Mandalorian that became a Jedi when it came time to make his
lightsaber he made something that was unique to him in his culture and that
became the darksaber that's why it looks so unique but it's just a normal
light saber like any other with a special Kyber crystal that's why it
glows black Dave Filoni is the person that actually created it special for the
Clone Wars though so he sort of retro actively included it inside the history
of Star Wars but the first time you actually saw it in any kind of Star Wars
TV show or story or movie was the Clone Wars animated series so Dave Filoni in
George Lucas got together and George Lucas actually came up with the concept
so technically George Lucas is the reason why the darksaber exists but
that's how it wound up inside the Star Wars Canon but now in present day
obviously it's been stolen by moth Gideon so it's kind of being perverted
for that purpose so hopefully at some point we will see the mando in baby Yoda
take the darksaber back mando got his jetpack upgrade now the next big upgrade
he needs is a darksaber number 8 though what is moth Gideon going to do now
standing on the wreckage of his tie Outlander there that says she meant to
be a bit of an easter egg for Darth Vader standing on top of his tie fighter
in the previous series they really are setting him up to be the
Gus fring of the Star Wars universe very hard to kill very shrewd I think it's
all to the betterment of the series right now he's probably got some
contingency plan to have more of his men come pick him up covertly and return him
to his command ship hopefully that winds up being a Star Destroyer because if
he's going to be some sort of warlord around the galaxy and he used to be a
mop he probably had a bunch of Star Destroyers at his command before the
fall of the Empire the series trades on a lot of plot beats from the original
trilogy - and what happened after the events of the first movie a
new hope we had Empire Strikes Back where the Empire struck back kicking the
crap out of the rebellion in fracturing the core Trinity that doesn't
necessarily mean that season two is going to have a downer ending like Empire
did but it just means that Moff Gideon's going to come back with tenfold the power
and the ships so they're all screwed for leaving him alive at the end of this
episode number seven where the Mandalorian and baby Yoda going next so
he implied he'd be too busy on his mission to do regular bounty hunting
work out of Navarro as part of his mission there's a couple things that he
agreed to do number one find Jedi to Train baby Yoda and care for him and to
find more members of Yoda's race that also could care for him in as far as we
know Yoda and gadelle were the only other two living members of their race
during the prequels in yeah ttle disappeared after attack of the clones
number six where's Luke Skywalker while all this is going on and what about his
Jedi Temple that would be a pretty easy place to go drop off baby Yoda well
you'd think that the Mandalorian would know more about the Jedi as a matter of
record but the way they talk about them on the show he doesn't know anything
about the force or about Luke Skywalker this is all taking place five years
after Return the Jedi so Luke Skywalker didn't create his new Jedi Temple until
sixteen years after season 1 of the Mandalorian so as far as we know right
now Luke Skywalker is still busy working to help stamp out the remnants of the
Empire around the galaxy and solidify the new republic government number five
this was actually a big question that I got on my videos will Mark Hamill ever
guest star in a future season is Luke Skywalker because he's actually pretty
young during the events of the Mandalorian I think most of us are in
agreement that they're probably not going to do Luke on the TV show for a
couple reasons first he's super old right now Mark
Hamill in real life and after Return of the Jedi Luke Skywalker was only 23
years old so right now during the Mandalorian which is five years later
he's still only be 28 years old so number four what about other Jedi
showing up during season two I think this scene here where the armor tells
him to find more Jedi is just a big setup and a teaser for them to introduce
other rogue Jedi who survived the purge during season two maybe somebody we've
seen before like ahsoka maybe a new character more likely a new character
but I really really do hope they introduce a live-action version of
ahsoka on one of these Disney series just for reference though she's
actually still very young during the events of the mandalorian she'd be in
her early to mid 40s while this is all going on
so still prime age for any big Hollywood actress to come be on the show
number three what about that mysterious gunslinger teaser from the end of
episode 5 they teased it like there was going to be some huge reveal in the finale
who is this person I talked about it during my episode 5 video and again
recently but they really really want you to think that this is going to be Boba
Fett because the special Spurs that he wears that make that sound when he walks
are the same ones that Boba Fett wears the fact that this is all happening on
Tatooine five years after Return of the Jedi the fact that he's wearing a cape
like both of the foot wears and pretty much every story set around Tatooine
after Return of the Jedi Boba Fett escapes the Sarlacc pit
so what's the deal why did they tease this and never pay it off before the end
of season one either wound up being a deleted scene that they just didn't have
time for or more likely they decided when they were prepping the finale to
just save the reveal for season two like okay we don't need to do this right now
we can save this for a big moment in the future so it's still wide open to theory
crafting about who this is but again Jon Favreau and Dave floatie really want you
to think this is Boba Fett and if we're thinking about season two if it's going
to be like the Empire Strikes Back version of the Mandalorian series like
Moff Gideon comes back with a vengeance who would he hire but other badass
bounty hunters to go after the child in the Mandalorian number two what about
new baby Yoda Jedi powers and force abilities random acts of the force are
sort of their go-to moment in the series anytime they wanted some big
dramatic twist they just pull a new force power out of their tool belt given
the stuff we've seen baby Yoda do so far the next real basic abilities that you
typically saw in the classic trilogy assuming we're trying more on classic
trilogy references is the Jedi mind-trick
in number one of course Moff Gideon's secret cloning plans for baby Yoda that
they never really paid off at the end of the season he had this whole big speech
in Episode seven about how important baby Yoda was to him and how the
Mandalorian couldn't even comprehend how important he was it was pretty clear
what they were setting up from the first couple of episodes doctor Pershing's
imperial cloning uniform from Kamino that they wanted to harvest DNA from
baby Yoda to create a new army of force-sensitive clones that Moff Gideon
would be able to control kind of got into this during the Clone
Wars animated series where Emperor Palpatine was trying to steal for
sensitive children brainwashed them as children to grow up to be his army of
Sith spies that he could just send all over the galaxy and they'd be this
unstoppable force pretty safe bet that we're going to find out more about what's
going on with his secret plan quote-unquote during season two and
hopefully get a better look at the inner workings of his organization we didn't
really visit any of his home bases or any of his ships or Star Destroyers that
he might have so for the most part I'm just assuming that all the other big
characters that weren't confirmed dead this season will come back to like
Dr. Pershing is prime example there was this other teaser that Jon Favreau dropped it
was the gomorian where he was basically saying that season two was going to
premiere around the same time next year the season 1 premiere which means
November but the fact that there's a gomorian here doesn't necessarily mean
they're going back to Jabba's palace because obviously he has Gammorean guards
but I'll keep doing bonus videos for season 2 as we get more information
they're still in the middle of shooting right now we'll probably get a trailer
either later in the spring maybe by early summer so leave all your requests
and your big questions in the comments below and I'll add it to my list of
videos every one click here for my full Mandalorian episode 8 video and click
