In Mandalorian Hands
After the fall of the Empire at large with the destruction of the second Death Star, Gideon rose to be an influential figure in the Imperial Remnant, now a Moff operating a Shadow Council of warlords and intelligence assets seeking to restore the Empire’s rule. However, he would eventually lose the Darksaber in combat with the Mandalorian bounty hunter Din Djarin, who assaulted Gideon’s personal cruiser in an attempt to rescue the young Force-sensitive being Grogu, held captive by Gideon’s forces.
Inadvertantly realizing that traditionally his victory granted him the right to wield the Darksaber, Djarin was forced to conclude his temporary alliance with Bo-Katan Kryze and her remaining forces and take the Darksaber for his own, after refusing to fight Kryze for the right to wield it.
