The show also made lead star Pedro Pascal an overnight sensation and Din Djarin quickly became one of the most recognizable faces in Star Wars lore. Admittedly, showrunner Jon Favreau’s mind was blown at how popular the bounty hunter has become.Speaking with Entertainment Weekly on the Dagobah Dispatch Podcast, showrunner Jon Favreau says the way (no pun intended) Din Djarin quickly became an iconic Star Wars character in just a short span of time is quite astonishing. Explaining how “rewarding” it must be for Pascal, Favreau says: “What’s it like to see Pedro Pascal grow and become such an iconic character? That blew my mind today when he came out. I mean, again, we haven’t been at [Celebration] like this in several years now and you see that the love of this character has grown on its own outside. We haven’t been at a Comic-Con or a Celebration, you know, and it was amazing and, I think, probably really rewarding for him to feel the acknowledgment.“Also Read: The Mandalorian Season 4 Reportedly Already in Production Months Ahead of Season 3 ReleaseDin Djarin is expected to face his toughest battle yet against Bo-Katan Kryze and the two former allies are set to clash for the right to rule the Mandalore throne in the upcoming third season.
