Empire Magazine is celebrating the upcoming release of The Mandalorian and Grogu with a headlining story in their newest issue. The piece features interviews with Dave Filoni, Jon Favreau, and Pedro Pascal, the latter of whom dives into how the Din Djarin we see in the new movie is different than the character we previously saw.
The finale of The Mandalorian Season 3 saw Din Djarin agree to take on missions for the New Republic, a stark change to his prior escapades as a lawbreaking bounty huner. But Pascal assures fans that his character is still a bounty hunter, albeit one with a decidedly different focus.
“They open up the opportunity for him to continue his best work as a bounty hunter, but just working for the good guys,”
Pascal elaborated on Din Djarin’s status as a new kind of bounty hunter in the movie. “Combining skill and morality. Whereas when we meet him first, it’s simply skill, and beskar, and [the Mandalorian] Creed,” Pascal explained. “Through his relationship to Grogu, there is an expansion of his heart and a disarming of his armour, so to speak, that leads him to fight for what he knows is right.”
