As we get closer to The Mandalorian and Grogu\u2018s<\/a> release date, Lucasfilm has revealed some more details about the film\u2019s story. A key plot beat highlighted in some of the recent trailers<\/a> is Din Djarin taking the steps to prepare Grogu for a time when he won\u2019t be around. Djarin understands that Grogu will outlive him by centuries, so he wants to make sure his adoptive son is prepared to take on any challenges life throws at him. Making that poignant development a main focus of marketing materials has fueled rumors that Din Djarin could die during the events of the film. As that speculation rages on, Pedro Pascal has addressed his future with the Star Wars franchise.<\/p>\n

During a special Q&A event attended by various media outlets (hat tip Games Radar<\/a>), Pascal discussed his history with the Mandalorian role and what he hopes comes next. \u201cI\u2019m completely grateful. It\u2019s the longest creative relationship I\u2019ve had, it\u2019s the character that I\u2019ve played the longest,\u201d he said. \u201cHopefully, I get to continue playing him for as long as my body, or as many bodies as we put into the suit, can take it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Will Din Djarin Die In The Mandalorian and Grogu?<\/p>\n

If the Din Djarin death rumors are true, Pascal wouldn\u2019t say anything to confirm them now, a couple of weeks prior to the film\u2019s release. Lucasfilm is known for its high levels of secrecy, and its creatives know what they can and cannot reveal in interviews. Pascal\u2019s response to questions about his future are general enough comments that he could just be playing coy about things. He appreciates the fact that he\u2019s been able to play such a beloved role for an extended period of time and would love to keep it going if the opportunity presents itself.<\/p>\n

Killing Din Djarin now would be a shocking development, but it\u2019s worth wondering if that would be the best direction for Star Wars at this point in time. In some ways, Djarin and Grogu have become the faces of the franchise over the past handful of years. During the Star Wars movie hiatus, Lucasfilm produced a bevy of TV shows for Disney+<\/a>, and The Mandalorian emerged as the streamer\u2019s flagship program. A case can be made that removing Djarin from the equation now would create a void Star Wars isn\u2019t the best equipped to fill right now. It\u2019s true that the franchise is bigger than any single character, but given the popularity of The Mandalorian, it would arguably be strange to kill Djarin off in his first film appearance.<\/p>\n

Box office projections for The Mandalorian and Grogu are soft for a Star Wars movie<\/a>, but the film is still poised to be successful due to its efficient production budget. If it\u2019s a hit, Lucasfilm would surely be interested in a sequel, especially since it looks like The Mandalorian Season 4 isn\u2019t going to happen anytime soon. Grogu is a scene stealer, but he can\u2019t carry a feature length film all by himself. He\u2019s at his best when he\u2019s paired with Djarin and the two characters can play off each other. Their bond is what makes The Mandalorian so special. Of course, Grogu could team up with a new guardian in a follow-up, but odds are Lucasfilm isn\u2019t going to break up the dynamic duo right now.<\/p>\n

Teases of Djarin\u2019s eventual death could just be laying the foundation for developments in future Star Wars projects. At some point, the New Republic era storylines are going to have to end. Considering his significance to that particular era and the franchise as large, giving Djarin a heroic send off by having him sacrifice himself in the war against Grand Admiral Thrawn would be a fitting conclusion to his personal journey. And if Grogu has grown through his experiences in The Mandalorian and Grogu, fans can rest easy knowing he\u2019ll be able to take care of himself.<\/p>\n
