This is the first time the Shadow Council has appeared in a live-action Star Wars project. He sees himself as the best candidate to rule the Imperial Remnant. Gideon doesn’t seem to be won over by Thrawn’s mystique. Pellaeon sees Thrawn as the last, best hope to restore the dying Empire to its former might. We see the recently freed Moff Gideon meet with his peers in the Imperial Shadow Council - including Commandant Brendol Hux (Brian Gleeson) and Captain Gilad Pellaeon (Xander Berkeley) - to discuss the potential return of Grand Admiral Thrawn. Grand Admiral Thrawn and the Imperial Shadow CouncilĬhapter 23 opens with a major nod to a fan-favorite Star Wars villain. Here’s what we learned in the penultimate chapter of Season 3. Thanks to this episode, we have some major new insight into the fate of the Empire and how this dying organization transformed into the First Order featured in the Sequel Trilogy. Not only is Season 3, Episode 7, “The Spies” crammed full of epic action scenes, it fills in a surprising number of gaps about the post-Return of the Jedi Star Wars timeline. Giancarlo Esposito’s Moff Gideon is back, and he’s declared all-out war on Din Djarin and Bo-Katan’s growing clan. Leave it to The Mandalorian to pivot from a silly episode full of unexpected celebrity cameos to what may be the most ambitious and game-changing episode of the entire series.
