Using an explosive charge, Mando eventually brought the TIE fighter down and saved himself with his newly acquired jetpack.
But before the group could continue their journey, Mando had to take on Gideon once and for all in a high-octane sequence.
But by the looks of the final scene, which featured a familiar Star Wars weapon in the form of Gideon’s darksaber, we haven’t seen the end of this evil villain, nor his plan to acquire The Child.
Following those revelations, Mando and the rest of the group were making an escape through tunnels of lava (naturally), and IG-II justified his rewired circuits once more by sacrificing himself to ensure “The Child” remained protected against Stormtrooper threats.
