So, yes, I want to discuss this. Both Moff Gideon and the troopers.
Spoiler!
Moff Gideon seems to be obsessed with Darth Vader. There was a lot of shit in the EU about cults being formed around Darth Vader after his death - shitty young adult novels about someone finding his glove or hand or something, stuff in the pre-sequel trilogy Aftermath novels about someone recovering his lightsaber.
And then there's the Thrawn novels. The Noghri in the Thrawn novels revered Vader so much they referred to Leia as "Lady Vader." So there's a lot of shit here that I just love - I hope they expand on this at some point with Moff Gideon - who, by the way, in extremely limited screen time is already more interesting than anything Jar Jar Abrams came up with.
The troopers he seems to have created an obvious nod to the Dark Forces video game - the Dark Troopers are like, basically, Iron Man suits for stormtroopers. So it's not shocking that Favreau has gone this direction given his Marvel background.
But I really, really like it. Because Mando is now becoming super powerful, with his shiny armor and his ship all repaired and **** it I'll just go everywhere on my jetpack attitude.
So now they need something to cut him down to size a bit, hopefully.
