The Mandalorian Star Reveals Season 2 Villain

Giancarlo Esposito has revealed some intriguing new information about The Mandalorian's second season. The Better Call Saul actor will be returning to the Star Wars universe for the new season as Moff Gideon, the mysterious military commander tracking Mando and The Child across the galaxy. During an appearance on Good Morning America this week, Giancarlo shed a bit more light on Moff Gideon's connection to remains of the Galactic Empire.

 

"My character, Moff Gideon, is the warden of the galaxy," the actor teased. "He is a remnant of the Imperial Empire and he is still searching for his quarry, which we hope he will find." The "quarry" he referred to is The Child (aka Baby Yoda), whom Esposito predicted will take The Mandalorian viewers on "a journey spiritually" throughout the new episodes. Last season ended with the stunning scene revealing Moff Gideon is in possession of the mythical Darksaber weapon but the villain has had more skill wielding it than Esposito himself. "I have been practising," he previously revealed to IMDb. "I'm decent. I'm getting better. You have to respect the power of it. The energy of it. It's long, dude. I've bopped myself three times with it, already. "Pop yourself in the head. I'm like, 'Oh my god, what do you do?' I start laughing. People look at me and want me to be the expert right off the bat because I am the badass [in the show]. But, you know, it takes practice."

Sony’s new PlayStation Application

With the PS5 launch roughly two weeks away, Sony has unveiled a redesign for its PlayStation App on iOS and Android, and it makes me very excited to try it out when the new console launches. Early adopters of the console will have the ability to remotely launch games, sign in to their PS5 directly from the app, and the app will even allow you to remotely manage storage on your console in case you need to make room for a new game to install.

Previously, the PlayStation App would let you download games on the PS4, but the app now allows me to download and launch games, plus manage the storage on my PS5. Based on Sony’s blog post, it looks like PS5 owners will have a lot more freedom to manage their consoles without directly interacting with it. It was such a pain having to shuffle around between multiple PlayStation apps and my PS4 just to take full advantage of all the features Sony provided. Theoretically, the new PlayStation App could allow me to buy a game (digitally), free up some storage space, download it, launch it, and check to make sure the software is up to date, all before I actually grab my DualSense controller and start playing. Even better? The new update allows me to message friends, voice chat, and create party groups directly from the app. So if I were preparing to play Call of Duty or Dead by Daylight with friends, I could set everything up through my phone. The app also adds a new UI that completely overhauls the home screen, and, as you can tell from the images, it looks a lot cleaner now. I think the update makes the app a lot more organized than before Since Sony is integrating its messaging system, you no longer need the separate PS Messages app. In fact, PS Messages will no longer be available, but any existing messages and threads from the discontinued app will be carried over into the new PS App update.
