Moff Gideon quotes from The Mandalorian

Moff Gideon

Your astute panic suggests that you understand your situation. I would prefer to avoid any further violence, and encourage a moment of consideration. Members of my escort have completed assembly of an E-Web heavy repeating blaster. If you are unfamiliar with this weapon, I am sure that Republican Shock Trooper Carasynthia Dune of Alderaan will advise you that she has witnessed many of her ranks vaporize mid-descent facing the predecessor of this particular model. Or perhaps the decommissioned Mandalorian hunter, Din Djarin, has heard the songs of the Siege of Mandalore, when gunships outfitted with similar ordnance laid waste to fields of Mandalorian recruits in The Night of a Thousand Tears. I advise disgraced Magistrate Greef Karga to search the wisdom of his years and urge you to lay down your arms and come outside. The structure you are trapped in will be razed in short order and your storied lives will come to an unceremonious end.

Moff Gideon

My clones were finally going to be perfect. The best parts of me but improved by adding the one thing I never had. The Force. I was isolating the potential to wield the Force, and incorporating it into an unstoppable army. And you smothered them before they could draw their first breath.

Bo-Katan Kryze

What happened?

Cara Dune

He brought him in alive, that’s what happened. And now the New Republic’s gonna have to double the payment.

Moff Gideon

That’s not what she’s talking about. Why don’t you kill him now and take it? It’s yours now.

The Mandalorian

What is?

Gideon

The Darksaber. It belongs to you.

The Mandalorian

No... [offers it to Bo-Katan] it belongs to her.

Gideon

She can’t take it. It must be won in battle. In order for her to wield the Darksaber again, she would need to defeat you in combat.

The Mandalorian

I yield. It’s yours.

Gideon

[smug] Oh, no. [laughs] It doesn’t work that way. The Darksaber doesn’t have power. The story does. Without that blade, she’s a pretender to the throne.

Kryze

He’s right.

The Mandalorian

Come on, just take it.

Gideon

Well, perhaps she’ll get another crack at it.

Moff Gideon

Thank you for gathering the Mandalorians into one place. You were a talented people, but your time has passed. However, as you can see, Mandalore will live on in me. Thanks to your planet's rich resources, I have created the next-generation Dark Trooper suit forged from Beskar alloy. And the most impressive improvement is that it has me in it. You see, every society has something to offer. The cloners. The Jedi. And even the Mandalorians. By aggregating the best of each, I will create an army that will bring order to the galaxy. Why don't we take your fleet off the board while we still have the element of surprise. [to commlink] Activate the interceptors and bombers.

Bo-Katan Kryze

[see TIE Interceptors and Bombers launching] No!

Moff Gideon

In but a few moments, the Purge of Mandalore will be complete. [to Stormtroopers about Mando] Take him to the debriefing room.

Kryze

I should have killed you when I had the chance.

Moff Gideon

Bo-Katan. We have to stop meeting like this.

Kryze

I'll make sure of it.

Moff Gideon

Let's skip the pleasantries, shall we? I believe this is the part where you return the Darksaber to its rightful owner. Now, surrender the Darksaber, and tell these people that this planet is mine.

This is the Way. [opens fire at the blast doors. Mandalorians follow]

Moff Gideon

[to Stormtroopers] Open the blast doors. Kill them.
