Pedro Pascal would absolutely love to bring the Mandalorian to other Star Wars projects and even believes he will. Prior to joining the galaxy far far away, Pascal was best known for playing Oberyn Martell on Game of Thrones. Pascal's performance wowed fans, who were all devastated when he met an untimely end. Luckily, however, Pascal soon scored another major television role: The Mandalorian, Disney+'s first live-action Star Wars series. As the titular bounty hunter Din Djarin, he spends much of the series wearing a helmet, yet he's still made a lasting impression on audiences everywhere.
The success of The Mandalorian has led Lucasfilm to speed up development of numerous other Star Wars streaming shows, several of which were announced just last week during Disney's massive Investor Day presentation. In addition to the previously revealed The Bad Batch, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Andor, Lucasfilm is crafting two Mandalorian spin-offs: Rangers of the New Republic and Ahsoka. All of this is on top of The Mandalorian season 3, which is expected to premiere in late 2021. In total, Lucasfilm will create 10 Star Wars shows over the next few years.
With all these thrilling Star Wars projects on the way, fans must be wondering what kind of crossovers could take place. If it was up to Pascal, Din would participate in several of them. While talking to ComicBook.com about his upcoming movie Wonder Woman 1984, Pascal was asked if there's any chance the Mandalorian could appear elsewhere in the Star Wars universe. "Man, fingers crossed. How could you not?" Pascal said, showing a great deal of enthusiasm. "This is like, this is something that's so much bigger than all of us, and we're all a passenger to it in a great way. And so, I find out, as it is decided and shared."
During their announcement, Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy confirmed Ahsoka and Rangers of the New Republic will crossover with each other. It also seems likely The Mandalorian will intersect with those two shows, particularly because they all take place within the same time period. Din already has a connection with Ahsoka Tano (Rosario Dawson), so it would be easy for him to make an appearance on her show with baby Grogu. Beyond that, Din has become a breakout character within the Star Wars fandom; Lucasfilm would be missing a major opportunity if they didn't include him in other projects.
The real question is: Where could Pascal's Mando appear first? This will likely depend on what happens on The Mandalorian going forward, as well as the timelines for the shows' productions. Lucasfilm didn't give potential start dates for either. As of right now, it looks like Pascal could make the jump to Ahsoka first simply because he knows the former Jedi; of course, if The Mandalorian introduces the Rangers from the other series, the same could become true for that. All of this is to say, fans will just have to wait and see what comes next for Mando.
The Mandalorian's season 2 finale will premiere on Friday on Disney+.
