The role of Din Djarin not only requires the skill and craft of visual effects artists, armour builders and more to allow the character to live and breathe, it also takes a number of performers to occupy the suit of the Mandalorian himself, and speaking to EW’s Dagobah Dispatch podcast, Pedro Pascal praises the work of two of his fellow Mando performers Lateef Crowther and Brendon Wayne, making it very clear how vital they are to the entirety of the character.

“It’s been a collaborative process from the beginning. I was given the opportunity to establish physical specificity in some ways at the start of the show, but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t observing and picking up from what they’re doing and handing over so much of it as well. They do the heavy lifting.”
