When The Mandalorian Season 3’s episode “The Pirate” aired on Disney+ in April 2023, it gave Star Wars fans something cool. Bo-Katan Kryze, played by Katee Sackhoff, finally shared a scene with Greef Karga, the sharp-tongued magistrate played by the late Carl Weathers. What we didn’t know at the time was that behind the scenes, things got a little too real for the cast. Speaking on The Sackhoff Show with The Mandalorian stunt double Brendan Wayne (the body double for Din Djarin), Sackhoff revealed that during the shoot, Carl Weathers looked her dead in the eye and said she was… “boring.” “Do you remember that day on set when Carl told me that I was boring?” the clip starts. Wayne bursts into laughter and covers his face. “Yes! Yes,” he replies, turning red. Apollo Creed, Dillon from Predator and Action Jackson himself told Katee Sackhoff she was boring. But...

It’s been over three years since The Book of Boba Fett concluded with its controversial season finale, and despite star Temuera Morrison being one of the longest-tenured stars in the universe, the character hasn’t been seen since. Few would push back against the claim that The Book of Boba Fett wasn’t without its issues, but none of these are the fault of Morrison, who portrayed the character with the same heart that he’s been doing for years. Collider’s Maggie Lovitt recently caught up with Morrison to chat about his new movie Ka Whawhai Tonu (In The Fire of War), and she mentioned how sad she was that we haven’t seen him in Star Wars since his series went off the air. Morrison expressed the same sentiment:

"I'm sad too. Where The Book of Boba Fett Season 2? Where the hell is Season 2? I know they're doing Ahsoka Season 2. I'm going,...

When it first came out back in 2019, The Mandalorian proved to be among the finer additions to the Star Wars lore, perfectly brought to the screens by Jon Favreau. Led by Pedro Pascal as the titular character, it has earned remarkable praise from fans and critics worldwide. In fact, even James Cameron couldn’t help but praise it.

Yet, while Cameron became one of the people shell-shocked by the cast’s performance, he was actually the most blown away by the one star who rarely gets any credit because Pascal seems to take home all the acclaim, being the face of the main character. This one star was none other than the one in Din Djarin’s suit, Brendan Wayne.

The Mandalorian Season 3 aired its explosive finale more than two years ago, and one of the show’s most underappreciated stars is finally earning some major praise. While Pedro Pascal is widely known among the Star Wars fan base as The Mandalorian, mostly for his voice and for being the one under the mask when Din Djarin removes his helmet, bringing Din to life is a team effort. One of the people tasked with doing so is Brendan Wayne, who is usually the one in the suit even when Pascal is voicing the character.

Even though his voice or face doesn’t come through Din, Wayne brings the Mandalorian bounty hunter to life with his body language and movement, which is arguably just as important, if not more so, than the voice. Wayne has been confirmed to also play Din Djarin in the upcoming Star Wars film, The Mandalorian & Grogu,...

We’re now more than two years removed from what might be the final season of The Mandalorian, and although there may not be another season of the Disney+ show, the story of Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) and Grogu is far from over. The Mandalorian & Grogu will make the hyperspace jump into theaters next year on May 22, and it will pick up after the events of The Mandalorian Season 3 finale, which sees Din and Grogu retire to Nevarro after helping establish a community there.

Although Pedro Pascal is known as The Mandalorian, other stars are equally important in bringing Din Djarin to life. One of those stars is Brendan Wayne, who, more often than not, is the one inside the suit. Pascal may be the voice, but Wayne portrays all of Din’s movements and body language. Wayne recently sat down for an interview on The Sackhoff Show, which is...

Pedro Pascal is teasing The Fantastic Four: First Steps, in which he plays the role of Reed Richards, Mister Fantastic.

Although the Marvel superhero has elastic abilities, it’s his intellect that Pascal is focused on in playing the character.

“With Reed, his body may stretch, but this is a brain character,” the actor said in an interview with ComicBook. “I guess I’ll just give it completely away. I thought of the brilliance of an octopus. Not in any literal physical translated way, but I put it into my subconscious. Yeah. That’s the biggest character secret reveal that I’ve given to you.”

Pascal also compared the differences in physical demands between his Fantastic Four character and Din Djarin in The Mandalorian.

“You know, with Din Djarin, there’s so much physical authorship that is a collective effort, with my work, Brendan Wayne’s work, Latif Crowder’s work,...

The new trailer for The Fantastic Four: First Steps finally showed Reed Richards (Pedro Pascal) using his powers, putting an end to the speculation that the character's somewhat bizarre abilities might be revamped for the MCU reboot.

Though these powers will obviously be brought to life via CGI, Pascal was still required to act out the scenes pre-vfx, and the actor has now revealed his surprising inspiration for Mr. Fantastic's stretchy abilities.

“With Reed, his body may stretch, but this is a brain character,” The Last of Us star told ComicCook.com during Star Wars Celebration. “I guess I’ll just give it completely away. I thought of the brilliance of an octopus. Not in any literal physical translated way, but I put it into my subconscious. Yeah. That’s the biggest character secret reveal that I’ve given to you.”

This may not seem like much of a reveal,...

He can bring us in warm, or he can bring us in cold, but as long as we're in the multiplex, he isn't going to care. Those at Star Wars Celebration 2025 got a new look at the first Star Wars movie to hit theaters in six years — seven by the time it actually arrives — and it's a thrilling one, as it stars two of the newest and most beloved characters in the entire franchise: The Mandalorian and Grogu. The new footage for the movie screened behind closed doors, but saw Mando (Pedro Pascal) and Grogu striking a deal with Sigourney Weaver's mysterious character.

The movie stars Pedro Pascal— sometimes under the helmet, sometimes not, but always via voice — as Din Djarin, the titular Mandalorian, while when Pascal is not on set for the close-ups of the character who isn't meant to remove his helmet, Brendan Wayne plays Din Djarin...

A familiar face has been added to The Mandalorian & Grogu cast with the addition of Jonny Coyne. In The Mandalorian season 3, Coyne played an Imperial warlord who was a member of the Shadow Council that included Moff Gideon (Giancarlo Esposito). Despite defeating Moff Gideon and reclaiming Mandalore, Din Djarin and Grogu will still need to contend with the ongoing threats posed by the Shadow Council and the Imperial Remnant in The Mandalorian & Grogu's story.

Deadline has confirmed that Coyne is reprising his role as an Imperial warlord in The Mandalorian & Grogu. The movie's growing cast includes Pedro Pascal continuing to play Din alongside Brendan Wayne and Lateef Crowder, along with Sigourney Weaver in a currently undisclosed role, and Jeremy Allen White voicing Rotta the Hutt, a character introduced in 2008's animated Star Wars: The Clone Wars movie. The Mandalorian & Grogu is scheduled to release in...

As notable as a John Wayne cameo in Star Wars would be, his appearance in A New Hope went unnoticed for 30 years, before the full details about this cameo were revealed. The Star Wars franchise is no stranger to cameos, particularly in its current TV show era, but it was quite rare to see such appearances during the original trilogy era, when Star Wars was just starting to make a name for itself. Even so, they still managed to make John Wayne a part of the very first Star Wars movie, though his role remained a mystery for years.

In fact, this role of Wayne's in Star Wars is so mysterious that his name doesn't even appear anywhere in the credits for A New Hope. Even Wayne's IMDb profile doesn't have his appearance in Star Wars listed. Despite this, Wayne's role truly does exist, and it is an important (albeit small) part of the movie.

Jon Favreau, the creator of The Mandalorian, announced that the script for Season 4 was finished before Season 3 concluded, but it now seems that the fourth season may not happen at all.

Season 3 wrapped up with Moff Gideon appearing to be defeated and Mando adopting Grogu, establishing a sense of peace that would require a new threat to arise for Season 4 to be plausible.

After the conclusion of the SAG-AFTRA and writers’ strikes, speculation arose that The Mandalorian Season 4 might be completely abandoned in favor of a movie. These rumors gained momentum when it was revealed that Pedro Pascal would not be returning physically for the series due to his commitments to The Last of Us Season 2 and the upcoming Gladiator film, meaning he would only provide Mando’s voiceover.

Several months ago, those rumors were confirmed with the announcement of a film focusing on The Mandalorian and Grogu. The movie...

Jon Favreau, the creator of ‘The Mandalorian,’ revealed that the script for Season 4 was completed before Season 3 ended, but now it appears that the fourth season may not take place at all.

Season 3 concluded with Moff Gideon seemingly defeated and Mando adopting Grogu, creating a sense of peace that suggests a new threat would need to emerge for Season 4 to be viable.

Following the resolution of the SAG-AFTRA and writers’ strikes, rumors began circulating that ‘The Mandalorian’ Season 4 might be scrapped entirely in favor of a movie. These rumors gained traction with news that Pedro Pascal will not physically return for the series due to commitments to ‘The Last of Us’ Season 2 and the ‘Gladiator’ film, meaning he would only provide Mando’s voiceover.

Those rumors were confirmed several months ago with the announcement that a movie centered on The Mandalorian and Grogu is in development. Announced in January 2024, the...

Brendan Wayne is a crucial part of The Mandalorian, as he embodyies Din Djarin beneath his helmet. The Western influence in The Mandalorian's success is evident through Din Djarin's character and Wayne's portrayal. Wayne channels John Wayne's swagger, bringing gravitas to Din Djarin and helping to make the show a hit.

The grandson of legendary Western actor John Wayne is a crucial part of The Mandalorian, even though his face is never seen on-screen. The Mandalorian is one of Star Wars' biggest success stories. It was the franchise's first foray into live-action television, and The Mandalorian is the most-watched original show on Disney+. It's also spawned a host of spinoffs in its own right, from The Book of Boba Fett to the upcoming movie, The Mandalorian & Grogu. Din Djarin and Grogu are veritable juggernauts of Star Wars, and they owe a great deal of their popularity to an unlikely source: John Wayne's grandson.

Pedro Pascal shares the role of Din Djarin in The Mandalorian with Brendan Wayne and Lateef Crowder due to the armor's physical demands. Pascal struggles with physical stress in the suit due to limited visibility, difficulty breathing, old injuries, and more. This arrangement allows Pascal to focus on providing The voice for Din Djarin while still maintaining control over the character.

Pedro Pascal stars as Din Djarin, the titular character of The Mandalorian, but there are also at least two other actors who have been bringing the character to life along with him ever since the Star Wars TV show's debut. The level of Pascal's physical involvement in The Mandalorian has been a topic of discussion ever since the TV show first premiered, which has led to some disappointment among audiences. While many point to Pascal's busy schedule as the reason for this, there's more to it, as proven by...

Amid questions about whether Star Wars: The Mandalorian will receive a fourth season, speculation exists regarding whether notable characters from the show will feature in The Mandalorian & Grogu film. One such character is Katee Sackhoff's Bo-Katan Kryze, though Sackhoff isn't ruling out a potential appearance.

Speaking with Comicbook.com, Sackhoff addressed The Mandalorian & Grogu and asked if she has a part to play in the upcoming movie. Sackhoff offered a coy response, leaving the possibility on the table. "Number one, if I knew I wouldn't tell you," Sackhoff said. "And if I did tell you, they'd probably kill me."

Pedro Pascal's rise to fame after The Mandalorian accidentally created a scheduling issue for Star Wars. Pascal's performance is integral to Din Djarin's character, but his absence from fan events and appearances is concerning. The Mandalorian & Grogu movie has the potential to fix the issue by accommodating Pascal's schedule and increasing his involvement.

After launching to stardom in The Mandalorian, Pedro Pascal is now getting his own Star Wars movie with The Mandalorian & Grogu - but his sudden skyrocket into fame has unwittingly created one big problem that the franchise has to fix. Pascal portrays The Mandalorian's titular character, Din Djarin, with the help of actors and stuntmen such as Brendan Wayne, Lateef Crowder, and Barry Lowin. Pascal has been an actor for many years, but following his role in The Mandalorian, he has since been launched into a whole new stratosphere of Hollywood fame - rightfully so.

The Mandalorian stars gathered to honor Carl Weathers at a Celebration of Life hosted by the Directors Guild. Weathers not only acted in the show but also directed two episodes, leaving a lasting impact on the cast and crew. Tributes from fellow stars like Pedro Pascal and Ming-Na Wen show how Weathers' legacy lives on in Star Wars history.

Four months after Carl Weathers' passing, the stars of The Mandalorian gathered together at Weathers' Celebration of Life, as hosted by the Directors Guild. Weathers not only portrayed Greef Karga in the Star Wars TV show, but he also directed two episodes - "Chapter 12: The Siege" and "Chapter 20: The Foundling." His sudden passing was met with heartfelt tributes of remembrance and grief from fellow stars such as Pedro Pascal and Ming-Na Wen, and now, many of these same stars have had the chance to gather together to honor Weathers.

The Mandalorian season 3 pays tribute to Boba Fett's legacy with intentional parallels to classic scenes. Boba Fett's enduring popularity paved the way for the Mandalorians to become a crucial part of the Star Wars universe. Easter eggs honoring Jeremy Bulloch's role in Star Wars are subtly woven into The Mandalorian without disrupting the story.

The Mandalorian season 3 subtly paid tribute to Jeremy Bulloch, the actor who physically portrayed Boba Fett in the original Star Wars trilogy. Despite the characters limited role in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, Boba Fett became a Star Wars icon. The mystery behind the helmet and the characters Mandalorian armor, as well as his intimidating demeanor, spawned hundreds of fan theories and pivotal pieces of Star Wars lore. Without Boba Fetts memorable appearance, the Mandalorians would arguably never have become a central part of the Star Wars mythos.

Marvel Studios is currently targeting a late summer 2024 production start for its highly-anticipated reboot of The Fantastic Four. Marvels first family had two different live-action iterations during its time with 20th Century Fox, with the first version notably starring Chris Evans as the Human Torch, and the second one featuring Miles Teller as Mister Fantastic.

Disney Reportedly Moved Up Filming Schedule For The Mandalorian & Grogu

Earlier this year, Lucasfilm announced that The Mandalorian and Grogu will continue their next adventure on the big screen in Jon Favreau’s film, which would lead Lucasfilm’s ongoing feature-development slate. The report also stated that the Pedro Pascal starrer would begin filming in June 2024.

When Lucasfilm announced that the Mandalorian and Grogu would be headed for the big screen with their own self-titled movie, fans were surprised. Since then, production has been moving forward at pace, with filming reportedly due to begin sooner than expected.

According to the Making Star Wars YouTube Channel, cameras will begin rolling on The Mandalorian & Grogu this May. "I talked to two different cats, both believe that filming is actually going on in May," the channel said. "In May, there will be filming done. I'm not saying it's May 1, I'm not saying it's May 31, but it's somewhere in there that things will be filmed for that specific movie."

Din Djarin is an amazing mentor, pushing Grogu to reach his full potential and helping him gain confidence in his abilities. Cosplayer Josh Strong and his daughter perfectly capture the essence of Bo-Katan Kryze and Din Djarin from The Mandalorian. The Mandalorian series on Disney+ has become incredibly popular, particularly due to Mando's heartwarming relationship with Grogu.

The Mandalorian's Din Djarin gained a second Mandalorian apprentice in a cute Star Wars cosplay. Din Djarin has become one of the most popular characters in Star Wars, and for good reason. Even though his face is hidden most of the time, Pedro Pascal's excellent voice-over combined with Brendan Wayne and stunt double Lateef Crowder's physical performances conveys so much emotion and character. This is seen most prominently in his heartwarming relationship with his adoptive son and Mandalorian apprentice, Din Grogu. Now, a cosplayer has given the Mandalorian a second apprentice.

"I like the story behind the N-1, but I feel like it's a little midlife crisis-y for Din. All of a sudden, now he's like I've got a sports car, I've got this kid [Grogu] stuck in a bubble.

It's like saying ‘I love you,’then you hear your significant other saying it to everybody, and you're like, what value does that have? That was his love letter to him.”

The Mandalorian & Grogu movie title focuses on their beloved relationship, set to hit the big screen in place of season 4. Audiences have fallen in love with Din Djarin and Grogu's connection, hoping the movie prioritizes their bond over cameos. The Mandalorian & Grogu can tackle galaxy threats while keeping focus on the heartwarming relationship between the duo.

The Mandalorian's Din Djarin body double actor Brendan Wayne identified the beloved relationship between Din Djarin and Grogu as being behind the title of the thrilling upcoming Star Wars movie, The Mandalorian & Grogu. Although few details have been released regarding the upcoming Mandalorian & Grogu movie, its announcement, in place of the anticipated The Mandalorian season 4, was shocking. Now, the team will instead hit the big screen, following on the heels of The Mandalorian season 3 ending, during which Din Djarin formally adopted Grogu, took him on as his Mandalorian apprentice, and offered to assist the New Republic.

Din Djarin's body double doesn't think the N-1 Starfighter suits his new role as a dad, calling it a "mid-life crisis-y" choice. In The Mandalorian season 3, Din officially adopts Grogu as his apprentice, setting up new dynamics for future adventures. Fans may see Din Djarin ditch his N-1 Starfighter for a more family-friendly Razor Crest in The Mandalorian & Grogu movie.

The Mandalorian's Din Djarin body double actor Brendan Wayne doesn't love the Mandalorian's new N-1 Starfighter, as it makes the newest Star Wars dad seem like he's having a bit of a mid-life crisis.

Keeping his helmet on makes the special relationship between Din and Grogu even better.

Many fans were excited to see more of Din Djarin's face after he took off his helmet in The Mandalorian season 2, but Din Djarin actor Brendan Wayne explained how it's actually good that he left it on. While there are some loopholes that allowed Din to take his helmet off, the reason he did it at the end of The Mandalorian season 2 should have meant he could never put it back on. That only made his decision to say goodbye to Grogu face to face even more momentous,...

The strength of non-Force users in Star Wars is equally impactful as that of Jedi and Sith. Characters like Poe Dameron, Padmé Amidala, and Han Solo show power in unique ways. Mon Mothma and Grand Admiral Thrawn prove that mental toughness can be just as powerful as physical strength.

Keeping Bo-Katan and Din Djarin's relationship platonic was crucial to honoring Bo-Katan's leadership arc in The Mandalorian season 3. Pushing for romance between them would have cheapened Bo-Katan's journey and taken agency away from her empowering narrative. The decision to maintain a platonic relationship between them allowed Bo-Katan to shine as a strong and powerful leader on her own terms.

Katee Sackhoff's Bo-Katan Kryze earned a spotlight in The Mandalorian season 3, and despite the potential romance some viewers wanted between the titular Mandalorian Din Djarin and Bo-Katan, her story was better without it.

Both actors played the same character throughout three seasons of The Mandalorian, with Wayne acting as a body double to Pascal's Din Djarin. However, Wayne didn't elaborate on the extent of Pascal's involvement in the film, particularly the reports that the latter would only lend his voice to a masked Mando. Wayne somewhat hinted this wouldn't be the case by asserting the production team would adjust to Pascal's schedule during filming.

Din Djarin's redemption in The Mandalorian started with his self-centered focus on survival and responsibility. Meeting Grogu helped Din look beyond himself, leading to kindness and forming friendships across the galaxy. The show's theme of learning to ask for help is central to Din's redemption story, showcasing the power of letting others in.

Din Djarin had one of the best redemption stories in Star Wars over the course of The Mandalorian, but Din Djarin actor Brendan Wayne has pointed out that his journey may have been misunderstood. Din Djarin's backstory before The Mandalorian season 1 painted him as a ruthless lone bounty hunter who would take any target if the price was right. By the ending of The Mandalorian season 3, though, Din became a loving father and friend who had left his bounty hunting ways behind him. It was a satisfying redemption, but it might not be the whole story.

"The Convert" shines light on Dr. Pershing's crucial role in Force-cloning, connecting to Palpatine's return in Rise of Skywalker. The episode sets a new pace for The Mandalorian, exploring the New Republic and adding depth to the Star Wars lore. Palpatine's resurrection narrative threads are intricately woven throughout various Star Wars mediums, making this story essential.

Instead of in a Star Wars movie, some essential reasons for Palpatine's return to life in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker can actually be found in an episode of The Mandalorian that many viewers wrote off as 'filler'. The Mandalorian season 3 was not received nearly as well as the previous two seasons of the smash-hit space-western series, but despite its reception, season 3 has a lot to love character-wise, and maybe even more to appreciate in its lore and world building.

Despite Pascal's busy schedule, Star Wars will work around it, proving there is no reason for doubts about his return. Pascal himself has shown excitement for the movie and expressed his desire to continue portraying his Star Wars character.

Din Djarin actor Brendan Wayne has shared his confidence in Pedro Pascal's return Star Wars in the franchise's next movie, The Mandalorian & Grogu, which will take its titular characters to the big screen for the first time. Pascal, who portrays The Mandalorian's titular Din Djarin, has dealt with rumors concerning his return to the hit Star Wars TV show every single season - and now, this trend has continued with The Mandalorian & Grogu movie. Wayne, who collaborates with Pascal and stuntman Lateef Crowder for the role, is...

The fate of The Mandalorian season 4 hasn't yet been confirmed, despite recent rumors, with actor Brendan Wayne expressing hope for more storytelling opportunities. Wayne emphasizes the importance of continuing the story on Disney+ in addition to the upcoming movie, citing the show's impact on the streaming platform. Despite mixed reviews for season 3, The Mandalorian remains the most-watched original Disney+ TV show, underscoring the need for season 4 to continue the story.

The fate of The Mandalorian season 4 has been in flux ever since Star Wars' recent announcement of The Mandalorian & Grogu movie, and now Din Djarin actor Brendan Wayne has offered his rebuttal to various recent rumors about its fate. Wayne, who shares the role of The Mandalorian's Din Djarin with lead actor Pedro Pascal and stuntman Lateef Crowder, recently spoke out about the possibility of getting season 4, with many sharing that he said it's no longer an option.

Remember when we first met Din Djarin? He swaggers into that cantina in the first episode of The Mandalorian, takes down a few ruffians, and flies off with his quarry. No mess, no pomp, no big deal.

Those days now seem long gone, as what started out as a smaller-scale Western set in the world of Star Wars, between the Original and Sequel Trilogies, has now become the hope for the future of the franchise on the big screen. The characters will now be the focus of the next Star Wars movie. Directed by Jon Favreau, The Mandalorian & Grogu is currently expected to release in 2026. Does this mean we won’t be seeing the beloved duo on screen at all until then? Or will a potential season 4 of the show bridge the gap on Disney+? It’s a question that has eluded Star Wars fans since the film project was first announced.

Pedro Pascal's absence from the Mandalorian armor isn't due to scheduling, as there's another key factor. Pascal faced physical challenges in the Mandalorian suit, from weight to visibility and breathing. Having other actors handle the physicality of Din Djarin allows Pascal to pursue other projects.

The Mandalorian star Pedro Pascal has famously been absent from the titular character’s armor for a while, but that isn’t because of scheduling issues. Pascal has brought the deep and brooding voice to Din Djarin for three seasons on The Mandalorian and will likely be reprising the role in Jon Favreau’s upcoming movie The Mandalorian & Grogu, which goes into production later this year. While Pascal has appeared on the set of The Mandalorian in the past, the role of Din Djarin was entirely a voice role for season 3.

Pascal has taken up huge roles in franchises like HBO’s The Last of Us...

Jon Favreau – the creator of ‘The Mandalorian‘ TV series – claimed that the script for ‘The Mandalorian’ Season 4 was finished even before Season 3 officially ended, and now it seems that the fourth season might not even happen after all.

Season 3 wrapped up with Moff Gideon seemingly defeated for good and Mando officially adopting Grogu, making him his little apprentice and his son, Din Grogu. They seemed to find peace, which means a completely new threat ought to emerge for Season 4 to happen.

Several weeks after the SAG-AFTRA and writer strikes ended, industry-wide rumors started swirling around about ‘The Mandalorian’ Season 4 getting booted completely and turned into a movie. Then, those rumors got even more legit when we recently heard that Pedro Pascal won’t physically return for ‘The Mandalorian’ due to his commitments on ‘The Last of Us’ Season 2 and 2024’s new ‘Gladiator’ film. Instead, he’d only provide Mando’s voiceover.

The Mandalorian star Brendan Wayne has revealed that Lucasfilm and Disney’s focus is now on the feature film The Mandalorian & Grogu, and that there are currently no plans for a season 4.

Speaking on The Chatooine Show on YouTube, Wayne, who plays the physical version of Din Djarin as Pedro Pascal provides the voice, was asked if he had heard anything regarding a season 4 of the hit series set in a galaxy far, far away. Wayne cast doubt on the development of another season, saying, “No [Season 4]. I know that we’re doing a movie for sure, that’s what I know.”

The Mandalorian star Brendan Wayne is struggling to understand why the show is headed to the big screen. In Wayne's view, Disney+ will be much weaker without The Mandalorian Disney's decision reflects changing corporate priorities - and the fact streaming is less attractive now.

The Mandalorian star Brendan Wayne - one of three actors who play Din Djarin - has hinted he considers Disney's movie plans a threat to the Disney+ streaming service. The last few years have seen Lucasfilm focus on a wide range of Star Wars TV shows; the studio was partly driven by critical and box office failures, and partly by a Disney-mandated corporate priority to generate content for Disney+. Now, Lucasfilm is pivoting back toward the big screen, and there's some evidence The Mandalorian season 4 has even been adapted into the next movie.

The Mandalorian & Grogu gets a big break on its tax bill as the upcoming Star Wars blockbuster looks set to make history as the first franchise flick to film in the Golden State.

Din Djarin's helmet rule in The Mandalorian is crucial, as it represents a hero template for viewers to project themselves onto. Din's helmet removals were acts of love and loyalty toward Grogu, not rebellion against his Mandalorian Creed. Despite speculation, Din Djarin has never intended to abandon his helmet rule, as his loyalty to the Creed remains steadfast.

Din Djarin's helmet rule has been a crucial and unique aspect of his character in The Mandalorian ever since he was first introduced five years ago, but as it turns out, this infamous rule has caused the character and his journey to be misinterpreted. Mandalorian history in Star Wars never once saw Mandalorians keep their helmets on at all times until The Mandalorian hit viewers' screens in 2019. Din became the first Mandalorian to faithfully wear his helmet around all other living things, only removing the beskar when he was alone to...

The Mandalorian helmet has an important role in the story of Din Djarin and his Star Wars TV show that has long sine gone unspoken. Din Djarin actor Brendan Wayne explains that the helmet is an equalizer, emphasizing relatability and fan interaction. Din Djarin's helmet goes beyond a rule or religion, providing a way for audiences to connect and feel like the hero by acting as a "mirror."

Din Djarin actor Brendan Wayne has explained the true, unspoken reason as to why the iconic helmet at the center of The Mandalorian is so important. Wayne has been collaborating with lead Din Djarin actor Pedro Pascal and stunt actor Lateef Crowder to bring the character to life ever since the show's inception, and due to both the difficult physicality and scheduling for Pascal, it's often been Wayne underneath Din Djarin's armor. This has allowed Wayne plenty of time to understand Din...
