Star Wars TV Show: Everything We Know About The Mandalorian

Making Star Wars (yep, again) report that Pedro Pascal is going to be cast as the lead in the show.

Again, MSW are very rarely wrong when it comes to Star Wars news, and Pascal is the kind of actor you can see Favreau looking at. He's got genre credentials after breaking out as Oberyn Martell in Thrones, but also has the charisma, range, and popularity (without being the kind of major A-lister it might otherwise struggle to attract) to step-up and lead a series like this.

And although these reports came before any firm plot details were announced, the idea of Pascal in the lead role makes even more sense now.
