Summary
- Audiences are thrilled to hear Pedro Pascal's voice in The Mandalorian & Grogu movie footage, assuming it to be brand-new dialogue.
- The lines spoken by Pascal's Din Djarin in the movie footage were actually from previous seasons of The Mandalorian.
- Some viewers may not recognize the dialogue because they never finished watching The Mandalorian season 3, simply because they forgot those lines were said.
The first look at Pedro Pascal's Din Djarin in The Mandalorian & Grogu movie has been unveiled exclusively at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, and audiences are thrilled to hear his voice once again as The Mandalorian's titular character - but is it actually brand-new dialogue? Pascal has been playing Din Djarin ever since The Mandalorian's inception, and while he works with other Din Djarin actors to physically bring the Star Wars hero to life, he's the only one behind Mando's iconic voice. Because Pascal's face is almost never seen in the role, hearing his voice is reassuring for audiences.
This has led many viewers to practically explode with enthusiasm and excitement at the sound of Pascal's voice in The Mandalorian & Grogu's new movie footage. Though the newly filmed scenes seen in this footage lack any dialogue at all, aside from a brief comment from Star Wars Rebels hero Zeb Orrelios, the opening montage of old clips leading into this new footage has a voiceover featuring none other than Pascal's Din Djarin speaking about bounty hunting for the New Republic. Is this actually brand-new dialogue recorded for the movie, or has it been heard before?
Pedro Pascal's Dialogue Is Only From Previous Mandalorian Seasons
Unfortunately, This Dialogue is Nothing New
The dialogue used in The Mandalorian & Grogu movie footage montage is, in fact, not new. Rather, these lines come from old seasons of The Mandalorian, particularly The Mandalorian season 3. The first lines of dialogue are uttered by the Armorer, whose "You are a clan of two" and "You are as its father" are taken directly from The Mandalorian season 1 finale. As for Pascal's Din Djarin, he can be heard uttering "This youngling is my apprentice," "I'm a bounty hunter by trade," and "Now that he's with me, I'll be more selective in my assignments."
The latter two lines are what viewers have long since been speculating to be brand-new Din Djarin dialogue by Pascal. This, however, is not the case. These lines were uttered in one of the final scenes of The Mandalorian season 3, when Din strikes a deal with New Republic ranger Captain Carson Teva to complete bounty hunting missions as an under-the-table independent contractor that targets the Imperial Remnant.
Why Some People May Not Recognize These Din Djarin Lines
Some Viewers Never Finished The Mandalorian Season 3
While it may seem surprising, a big reason why people may not have recognized this Din Djarin dialogue is because there's a fraction of viewers who never finished The Mandalorian season 3. The TV show's most recent installment wasn't received nearly as favorably as its first two seasons, and that led to a whole group of viewers refusing to finish the season once they had started it. Seeing as this dialogue is uttered in The Mandalorian season 3 finale, anyone who didn't get through the season would never have seen this scene before, and thus never have heard these lines.
It can be hard to keep track of everything that's said, especially in a situation where viewers are expecting to hear something new.
This, however, isn't the sole reason why people thought these lines were new. It's simply a matter of people forgetting over time exactly what was said by Din Djarin, which is to be expected in a franchise like Star Wars that contains so much content. It can be hard to keep track of everything that's said, especially in a situation where viewers are expecting to hear something new. While Pascal will certainly have plenty of brand-new lines once The Mandalorian & Grogu hits the big screen, for now, the audience has yet to hear any of them.
