Rewatching the pilot now.
Based on what we know of Moff Gideon's plans, why was IG-11's order to terminate Grogu, when Mando was ordered to bring him back? That's not what you would do if you needed a blood sample.
Does that mean that somebody else hired IG-11?
I kind of suspect they weren't 100% sure where they were going when the filmed the pilot. For example, the stormtroopers with Dr. Pershing look like they can't even maintain their armor, but in the second season we see that Dr. Pershing operates out a fully-staffed secret base.
It reminds me of "The Others" in LOST. When they were introduced they were dressed like bums, but in the 2nd season they retconned it into that they were wearing disguises.
