So these sleek mofos should have been a lethal wrecking crew to everything that faced them.

Droids are able to compute, assess, and react in ways people cannot, after all, and their accuracy is ideally second to none in most situations. The Rising Action: Moff Gideon Put Together A Badass Dark Trooper ArmyĪs it goes with the Galactic Empire, rather than trashing the Stormtrooper blueprint and starting over, Moff Gideon set up an even-better-than-other-better-versions type of trooper that would seemingly have none of the fallbacks of their human counterparts, cloned or otherwise. At first, I felt only remorse thinking about how much more impactful the Dark Troopers could have been, but then I realized their whole existence is basically just riffing on a classic Star Wars trope. Yet, in the end, the Dark Trooper army did essentially nothing to stop Mando's and the others from achieving #SquadGoals aplenty. On the outset, the humanity-free army of Dark Troopers truly looked like they could become the most dangerous threat in the galaxy, especially with Giancarlo Esposito's clever and dominating Moff Gideon being responsible for deploying them. On the flip side, however, is the finale's biggest disappointment: Moff Gideon's Dark Troopers. Everyone's mileage will vary on how cool (and awkward) that sequence was, but it can at least be considered a positive moment within the narrative itself. With its eye-popping finale, The Mandalorian brought out the big guns (or the big lightsabers, as it were) for Season 2's most game-changing reveal yet, with Baby Yoda being retrieved from Mando's care by none other than Mark Hamill's Luke Skywalker.
