The Mandalorian is one of the greatest television sensations of our time. Its popularity is a complete revolution.
The program is on a streaming service, Disney +. It takes place in the Star Wars universe, yet it proved Star Wars can be just as popular on the small screen as the large one.
The show is popular with children and adults alike, but star Pedro Pascal finds that he can not impress his younger fans if he meets them in person. It seems that they do not recognize him without his mask.
Pedro Pascal is not as popular with children as he should have been for his work in ‘The Mandalorian’

Pascal recently sat down with Josh Horowitz for a video chat as part of his series “Stir Crazy” on Comedy Central. They have Pascal’s work in Wonder Woman 1984, DC’s latest superhero delivery. They also discussed The Mandalorian, and what it’s like for Pascal to communicate with young fans.
According to Pascal, parents will sometimes try to use him to impress their children. After all, if they know the star of a popular show, they should have an influence. But it usually does not work. When children meet Pascal, they do not know who he is. Pascal told Horowitz that when children see him, they are actually just confused. ‘But then it looks like my face, and I do not have the child with me, I do not wear a helmet, and they look like’ Who is he? ‘
Pedro Pascal’s ‘Mandalorian’ voice is recognizable but can not be used on children
One part of Pascal’s character, Din Djarin, is recognizable. Pascal’s voice must be unique to work with the costume. Just as James Earl Jones had a very specific Darth Vader voice, Pascal has a special voice he uses for Din.
Pascal theorizes that he can use his Din voice for children to prove that he does play the title role The Mandalorian, but there’s a problem. The voice is somewhat … sexual if it does not come from the mask of a space hunter.
According to Pascal, “It’s weird like a bedroom voice. Completely inappropriate ”for children. According to Pascal, it was completely used to impress, and Horowitz agrees. This leaves Pascal in a tough situation. He basically can’t prove to his young fans that he is their favorite TV show character, or at least one of their favorites.
His co-star, The Child, or Baby Yoda, is probably the most popular part of the show. In fact, he often transgresses for Pascal, something the actor might resent.
Is Pedro Pascal really the star of ‘The Mandalorian’, or is it baby Yoda?
It could be that Pascal’s young fans are not so impressed by him anyway. His costar, Baby Yoda, is much more popular, even though he is technically a doll. Pascal likes to work with the little one, even if he steals Mando’s thunder.
According to Pascal, “Baby Yoda is not too poor, a very easy playmate. He also makes me feel very long – and necessary. ‘
In fact, Pascal has Baby Yoda to thank for accepting the position as Mando in the first place. He told People that he had to accept the role immediately when he saw a photo of the green guy. Baby Yoda may be fake, but for Pascal he is almost real. Pascal talks to him and plays with him like a child would play with their own toy. Pascal thanks the people who made the Child for spending so much time on their work.
“It all has to do with the amount of work these people do on it, because it’s a very, very special creation, and it feels that way when you see it in person.”
