Maybe Gideon actually obtains The Child and gets away and we’re left wondering his fate as a season ending cliffhanger.
I remember something Giancarlo Esposito let on in the Entertainment Weekly article about Gideon ‘spending some one-on-one time with the Child’ so I think it’s certain that the child gets kidnapped at some point, possibly as early as next episode. I know it’s most likely that Ahsoka’s in only one episode and a lot of people, including myself, think it will or should be that way, but after meeting Ahsoka has been built up to this much I think it would be an interesting story decision if Ahsoka was to help Mando rescue the child from the Imperials, possibly in the season finale. This probably won’t happen but it’s still fun to speculate.
