With the SAG-AFTRA strike over, studios are eager to resume filming, but the demand for actors exceeds availability. Pedro Pascal's absence from "The Mandalorian" Season 4 set is due to clashes with other projects, like "The Last of Us" Season 2 and "Gladiator 2." While Disney hasn't confirmed it officially, Pascal may voice his lines post-filming, a cost-effective and logistically simpler solution.
Fans expressed disappointment with Season 3 of "The Mandalorian," lacking Pascal's physical presence and feeling like a rush to wrap up loose ends. They were also displeased with the diminished focus on Din Djarin, with more attention on Bo-Katan. Moff Gideon's demise surprised many, expecting him to be the central villain in Dave Filoni's "Mandoverse" movie. However, with "Ahsoka" hinting at Grand Admiral Thrawn as the main antagonist, expectations shifted.
Concerns arise over Pascal's availability for the "Mandoverse" movie, set to unify new Star Wars shows. Uncertainty looms over how "The Mandalorian" ties into this crossover, raising fears of Pascal's pivotal role diminishing.
Despite actor complications, "The Mandalorian" Season 4 is confirmed by Disney, albeit with possible delays. Rick Famuyiwa, the executive producer, assured that scripts are ready; now, it's about coordinating studio and actor schedules.
