What an explosive finale that was, culminating in a titillating aerial melee, and a former Imperial star destroyer plummeting to the ground and fittingly wiping out some nefarious Empire stalwarts hiding on Mandalore. This marked a triumphant turn of events for Din Djarin, Bo-Katan, and their precarious alliance of Mandalorians. When all appeared to be lost, some quick thinking and a big dose of luck helped them reclaim their planet and put an end to Moff Gideon once and for all.
The Imperial storyline attempts to answer questions that had Star Wars fans up in arms after 2019’s The Rise of Skywalker. How did Emperor Palpatine return? And where did the First Order come from? As it turns out, the Empire was far from wiped out. The fledgling New Republic is spread thin across the galaxy and still struggles to maintain law and order in the outer reaches, and an organized band of Imperial remnants continues to plot to restore the Empire.
In the background, it is also implied that some members of the group maintain an interest in cloning. And despite an avowed lack of interest in the technology, Moff Gideon is eventually revealed to have created an entire squad of Force-sensitive clones of himself.
