The star of The Mandalorian season 3, episode 3, Omid Abtahi, has recently celebrated his trip to Coruscant alongside his young son. The Mandalorian season 3, episode 3 primarily centered on the character of Dr. Penn Pershing, played by Abtahi, and his exploits as part of the New Republic's Amnesty Program. This saw a return to the planet Coruscant, made popular by George Lucas' Star Wars prequel trilogy.In a heartwarming post on social media by Omid Abtahi, the actor celebrated his return to Coruscant that was shared by his son. Abtahi revealed that his son worked alongside him as an extra present on Coruscant in The Mandalorian season 3, episode 3.
The celebratory tweet from Abtahi captures the childlike wonder that Star Wars fans have longed to feel since first being introduced to the franchise, something that the actor and his son shared together.
Omid Abtahi's Star Wars Return Was A Family Affair
In the tweet, Abtahi recalls his son's words, who stated that Coruscant is real to his father after being tucked into bed. This just goes to show the merits of Star Wars adventures like The Mandalorian season 3, episode 3 on a Coruscant that's evolved so much. Despite the episode being rated as the lowest on IMDb, the advantages of such a story are clear in the bewildering effect it can have on actors and, as evident by Abtahi's post, their families.
While not playing a major role in the episode, the sheer wonderment that will have been felt by Abtahi's young son to be standing on Coruscant with his father is astonishing. For Abtahi also, his character playing such a vital role in an entire episode of The Mandalorian season 3, episode 3 while getting to share that experience with his son will likely be a highlight of his career that will stick long in the memory. If anything, the tweet celebrates what Star Wars can mean to people, and how, no matter the story, the galaxy far, far away remains magical for fathers and sons alike.
