During chapter 14 titled “The Tragedy” poor Grogu is captured by Moff Gideon ( Giancarlo Esposito ), who locks him up in a cell. Even though Grogu displays some epic Force powers, it will take a huge rescue to get the little boy out of Moff’s clutches, when Moff visits Grogu in his cell, the evil mastermind shows his prisoner the infamous Dark Saber.
The Dark Saber was first seen in The Mandalorian in the season one finale, but it also emerged when Mando met Bo-Katan Kryze ( Katee Sackhoff ), who revealed that he needs the Dark Saber to symbolically take his place on the throne of the planet Mandalore. Esposito recently teased that the gun will play a major role in the series.
In turn, Esposito also added that the unknowns of the origin of the Dark Saber will be revealed as it is a key factor in the second season, which will return sooner rather than later.
In the same way, the saber is a fundamental factor in Moff Gideon’s past, possibly having a lot to do with his origin and his desire to build a planet and put it back together.
Detailing that it is shorter when you turn it, so you should always figure out how to handle the handle, explaining that when using that type of saber, you have to think that you can’t hit it with anything because it will bend.
The actor explained that during filming he broke more than three of them because they are fragile and he has his science and technique to use one of them, noting that it feels really good to carry out those scenes. Don’t forget that The Mandalorian is available on the Disney + platform.
