The Mandalorian blev, igennem sin første sæson, en af de mest populære tv-serier i verden, og denne popularitet vil uden tvivl fortsætte med at blive bygget op med den kommende anden sæson. Men noget kunne tyde på, at showet er løbet ind i gevaldige problemer.
We Got This Covered kan fortælle, at den etablerede insider, Grace Randolph, har afsløret at hovedstjernen, Pedro Pascal, angiveligt har forladt showet midtvejs i produktionen af den anden sæson. Åbenbart skyldes dette, at Pascal ønskede at lave flere scener hvor han havde hjelmen af, men det kreative hold mente at hjelmen er en kritisk del af showets identitet.
"While filming Season 2 Pedro Pascal really wanted to have some scenes with his helmet off. The Mandalorian creative team wouldn't budge on this. So Pedro Pascal, from what I've heard from two sources now, was frustrated about this and also was pretty darn uncomfortable in the Mando suit on set. So, he became difficult. And the final straw, even though he was difficult to be around on set, the final straw was that he went to Lucasfilm, from what I've heard from my sources, to try and get them to intervene on his behalf. And you combine that with Lucasfilm already trying to get involved with story aspects of Season 2, which I've also heard. Including focusing more on standalone episodes rather than making them more connected, which I've heard The Mandalorian creative team wanted to do, which was kind of happening at the end of Season 1. So, when Pedro Pascal went to Lucasfilm, the Mando team was like, 'You know what, you should just go'. And Pedro Pascal did. And that happened halfway through filming. Now, as I said, I've heard the break up was pretty bad with both sides upset."
Præcis hvordan de så færdiggjorde sæsonen uden Pascal vides ikke, eller om hvorvidt dette rygte overhovedet er sandt. Tag det med et gran salt.
