bingefire.com NEWSROOM Jon Favreau Reveals Real Reason Why Din Djarin Doesn't Take Off His Helmet Jon Favreau Reveals Real Reason Why Din Djarin Doesn't Take Off His Helmet Played by Pedro Pascal, the protagonist of The Mandalorian almost never takes off his helmet. The show's designer explained why Din Djarin still adheres to this rule. science fictionPamela Jakiel17 November 2023 Source: Mandalorianin, Jon Favreau, Disney, 2020i Following the events that took place in the second season of The Mandalorian, viewers may have assumed that the character played by Pedro Pascal would deviate from the rule of not wearing a helmet. Those who watched the third season of Jon Favreau's series, however, know that this did not happen. Why? Two reasons for this decision were told by the show's creator. Related:Din Djarin is Not the Aragorn of Star Wars? Jon Favreau Explains From the book published in 2022, The Art of Star Wars: The Mandalorian by Phil Szostak, we learn (via Screen Rant) that Favreau's move is metaphorical in nature. The Mandalorians are not present in the original trilogy, and not taking off the helmet somehow alludes to this. In what way? By keeping their faces hidden behind their helmets, the warriors of Mandalore remain hidden in general. No one knew who they were. This may help to metaphorically justify their lack of involvement during the Galactic Civil War. The second reason alludes to what George Lucas did when creating Boba Fett. Favreau wanted to create a similar impression in the viewer and present a character where the mysterious silhouette in full armor is more important than the person who wears it. "The second reason involved going back to what George did, that is, to approach the characters as if they were action figures. How to get back to having kids interact with Star Wars, the colors and shapes of the characters? By keeping the helmet on at all times. It's not about the face underneath, it's about the helmet. The same goes for Boba Fett. You don't think about what's under the helmet, you think about that mysterious silhouette." So it looks like we may not see Pedro Pascal's face in future productions featuring Din Djarin either. Recall that in the third season the actor did not show his face even once. Interestingly, in most of the scenes involving the mandalorian, the star of The Last of Us wasn't even on the set. The hero's armor was donned by a double, and Pascal only provided his voice.
