Is there any reason why THIS character had no apparent interest in Moff Gideon?
In the final sequence of the season 2 finale of The Mandalorian, there is a surprise rescue by
Luke Skywalker, after receiving Grogu's call via Tython's "seeing stone" in episode 2.06.
The character takes out all of the threatening Dark Troopers and then makes their way to the bridge of Moff Gideon's light cruiser where many of The Mandalorian characters remain!
They proceed to let Grogu say goodbye to Din Djarin, before presumably taking Grogu off to continue his training, which I understand is his primary purpose for coming.
However, Moff Gideon should be seen as a big threat, considering he is still operating under the guise of the former Empire, as fans know this is apart of Darth Sidious's plan to create The New Order and the Sith Empire.
Is there any reason why THIS character wasn't concerned or even asked about the situation with Moff Gideon? Did they know Cara Dune would take him to the New Republic and/or believed they (Din, Cara, Bo-Katan, Fennic, and Koska) could deal with it on their own?
I also understand that the out of universe answer would be, they didn't want to ruin the bittersweet moment, but I find it suspicious how silent and disinterested THIS character was about everything else going on there.
Best Answer
Because the character had more important things to do.
The character went to the ship to get Grogu, following the Force beacon call sent out at the ancient Jedi site on the mountain top in an earlier episode. In a universe very short on Jedi, uniting with Grogu was eminently important.
Moff Gideon may have been important if he was free and getting away, but he was lying on the ground in the custody of a Ranger of the New Republic. Pretty much the entire rest of the ship's complement--droid and human--had been taken care of at that point, so the character was fine with letting the ranger handle him while he took Grogu in his X-wing on Jedi business.

While that hasn't been touched on yet in the main, current canon, it's certainly possible that this is the reason Gideon is after Grogu: to get a "transfusion" that will save his life or the life of some other Imperial figure.Is Moff Gideon a good villain?
Not only was the episode full of strong action scenes and dramatic tension, it was also a great showcase for what makes Moff Gideon a perfect Star Wars villain. A good Star Wars villain needs an equally compelling evil plan, and Moff Gideon has certainly had that this season.Why is Moff Gideon important?
Moffs essentially act as sector governors, second only to Grand Moffs \u2014 as in Grand Moff Tarkin. Gideon clearly showed much promise, rising through the ranks quickly and wielding an enormous amount of power and influence in the Imperial Army.

Answer 2
Said character only had one seat in his ship. Of course he could have killed Gideon but remember one of the major characters needed Gideon alive. Also, maybe Gideon plays a role in season 3 and Disney needed him alive.
Also, they just killed Grogu by giving him to Luke, because all of Luke's pupils were massacred by Ben Solo shortly after, so... I guess that happened.
Answer 3
I guess because THIS character is not part of the New Republic, but only a Jedi. His goal is to reestablish the Jedi Order, so he is only interested in Grogu.
Another reason might be, that he saw everything is under control, so he did not care because of the above-mentioned.
