- In Disney’s Twenty-Three Magazine, Pascal said he initially assumed he’d been cast as Boba Fett before Jon Favreau clarified he would play a new Mandalorian.
- The Din Djarin–Grogu bond powered the show’s breakout and elevated Pascal’s profile, with Favreau noting his “protective father” archetype in Empire.
- Lucasfilm has slated The Mandalorian & Grogu for a 2026 theatrical release, marking the duo’s jump from streaming to theaters.
- Favreau told Empire he has a completed season 4 script on his desk, but 2023 industry strikes disrupted plans and shifted focus to a movie.
