Speaking at a Q&A at Fan Expo Canada 2022, Giancarlo Esposito joked that he wanted to reprise his role as Moff Gideon for Massive’s upcoming Star Wars video game.
The writer of Massive’s Star Wars game, named Navid Khavari, has already worked with Esposito on Far Cry 6 (another game under the Ubisoft umbrella, the publisher that owns Massive), in which he played the villain. It seems the two of them enjoyed working together if Esposito does indeed have his number.
If Moff Gideon was to appear in the story, it would hint at the time period Massive’s Star Wars game is set in. If Moff Gideon is part of the story, then it should be set around the time of the original trilogy. We’ve only ever met Moff Gideon after the events of Return of the Jedi, but the story could allow fans to meet him earlier in his life, during the original trilogy or in the early days of the Empire.
We are hoping for more news about the third season of The Mandalorian at this weekend’s D23 Expo in Anaheim.
