The Mandalorian star Pedro Pascal says he prefers his helmet on as the titular character, despite the many times Din Djarin has broken the creed to never remove the headpiece. While the third season of the popular Star Wars series has yet to premiere on Disney+, Pascal has been busy promoting his film, The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, which hits theaters Friday. The actor has also been getting buzz for his lead role in The Last of Us, an HBO series based on the acclaimed video game.
Amid the excitement surrounding both projects, Pascal continues to field questions about his most iconic roles, including the Mandalorian (aka Din Djarin). In the show, Djarin refuses to remove his helmet in keeping with the strict rules of his clan, which prohibit another living being from seeing a Mandalorian's face. He's broken this rule many times throughout the series, however, even letting baby Grogu touch his face in the finale of season 2. In The Book of Boba Fett, Djarin confesses to other clan members that he has broken the creed, prompting the Armorer to tell him that he is no longer Mandalorian. Djarin then goes off on his own way, helping Boba Fett in the meantime. The Mandalorian's story will continue in season 3, expected to premiere some time this year.
