Don't Ask Pedro Pascal Do This One Thing: It Officially Creeps Him Out
The third season of The Mandalorian, the most anticipated piece of Star Wars content in years, is about to drop.
It is debuting on March 1 on Disney+, with episodes to be released weekly. Its trailer had already set the record as the most-viewed Disney+ trailer ever.
And naturally, Pedro Pascal, who's playing the titular character, is travelling all across the country, busily promoting his series.
Of course, normally he tries his best to be accommodating to the fans, but there is one common – somewhat natural even – fan request, which he really does not like.
Namely, he is dismayed whenever anyone asks him to talk in his character's voice.
As he said in an interview: "People come up to me and ask me to do the voice for their kids, but I think it sounds inappropriate because it is a breathy, low register 'bedroom' voice – it is so creepy and doesn't work in real life."
In the show the Din Djarin's voice is supposed to be filtered by the helmet, which he wears all the time, too.
So, if you ever happen to meet Pedro Pascal at an event, don't ask this from him. It is officially almost as inappropriate as trying to get some spoilers for the upcoming season. Speaking of spoilers, none seem to have leaked so far.
We can only speculate based on the teasers, the trailer, and events of the previous seasons (see, for example). With less than a week remaining until the season's premiere, we're going to see what's going to happen soon enough anyway.
With a brand new sleek starship, replacing the old Razorcrest, Din Djarin and his ward Grogu (still better known as "Baby Yoda") are about to embark on a galaxy-spanning adventure and the audience appears to be well and truly hyped to watch it.
Soon we shall see whether Season 3 of The Mandalorian delivers on that hype.
After the movie side of the franchise drying up since the sequel trilogy alienated so many fans, and several Star Wars TV series going almost unnoticed, The Mandalorian might really prove itself to be the savior of the franchise.
