The Mary Sue: The Mandalorian season 3 is set to premiere on March 1 and will see the return of our favorite father-son duo, Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) and Grogu. Anticipation is high as the final season 3 trailer received a staggering 83.5 million views. The show has become one of Disney+’s biggest original hits as it follows the tale of Mandalorian bounty hunter Djarin who strikes up an unexpected bond with one of his targets, Grogu, a Force-sensitive green alien with a child-like appearance.

Sometime during season one I read an article that said Pedro Pascal wasn;t in the suit all of the time. It actiually was a sort of negative article that I had read, saying that Pascal doesn’t deserve as much credit as he gets for being The Mandalorian when he isn’t the one doing all the work. Like Pedro Pascal says, it is a collaborative effort. Him and the two stunt doubles are The Mandalorian. The stunt doubles are just as much body as he is, however, Pedro Pascal is the voice of The Mandalorian. The stunt doubles should receive lots of publicity and credit in my opinion, since they are the ones who most likely do the hardcore stuff in the show. And as I read last week, it’s really hard to see out of the mask. So not only are the stunt doubles portraying a character that requires continuity, they’re doing it with limited vision.
I think this conversation about who gets credit for a role is really interesting- in a perfect world, everyone will get equal credit, however, we know that this is not the case. We see this even with credits in regard to production teams. We always credit the designers, but what of the managers, engineers, and assistants that actually brought the design to life? I feel they should receive as much credit as the designer, but we know this will not happen mostly because the audiences would not care. I think that it is interesting though in this case with the actors, and whether it really matters if it is Pascal behind the suit or not. To say that he should not be credited at all is ridiculous to me because it is like saying that the designer should not be credited because they themselves did not actually build it. In the way designers are crucial to the final product's success, the Mandalorian without Pascal would not be the same as it is that fans love today.
