Pedro Pascal Surprises Star Wars Fans at Disneyland with Mandalorian Encounter
Last night at Disneyland, a group of Star Wars fans had an unexpected encounter with Pedro Pascal, the actor who plays Din Djarin, the Mandalorian. In a video shared on Instagram by the official Star Wars and Disneyland accounts, Pascal surprised guests waiting to board the Millennium Falcon: Smuggler’s Run. He donned the Mandalorian helmet and made a dramatic entrance into the attraction area, much to the delight of the guests.
As Pascal, disguised in the Mandalorian helmet, waited alongside the guests in the main hold of the Falcon, the Cast Member greeted them with a warm welcome. The guests were pleasantly surprised to see the Mandalorian among them. When prompted by the Cast Member to say a few words before the travelers embarked on their journey, Pascal slowly removed the helmet, revealing his identity to the excited group.
Following the reveal, Pascal humorously remarked that the guests now had to "die" because they had seen his face. The video concluded with Pascal posing for photos with the thrilled guests, accompanied by a title card for Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu. Additionally, Disney Parks shared that Pedro Pascal was joined by other stars and creators of The Mandalorian and Grogu, including Sigourney Weaver, Dave Filoni, and Jon Favreau, who also made appearances in Galaxy's Edge.
The group of Star Wars personalities seemed to have gathered just outside Docking Bay 7, overlooking the Millennium Falcon, to witness the nighttime show 'The Curious Child', which is currently being showcased for a limited time to celebrate the film's release on May 22. The surprise appearance of Pedro Pascal and other Star Wars figures added an extra touch of magic to the Disneyland experience for the lucky fans.
