Ever since The Book of Boba Fett was officially announced during the surprise post credits scene after The Mandalorian Season 2 finale episode (“Chapter 16: The Rescue”), Star Wars fans have been processing the news, which came on the heels of several pivotal changes to the Star Wars story.
In addition to the fact that Grogu (AKA “Baby Yoda”) and his “father”, bounty hunter Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal), were split up for the first time since we met them on November 12, 2019, Mandalorian viewers had to process the fact that Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker (CGI Mark Hamill) returned to the Star Wars story during the original trilogy era — and he doesn’t seem to be going anywhere anytime soon since he became Grogu’s new Jedi Master.
But, now, leading man Morrison has teased Pascal’s potential cameo in the newest live-action Star Wars show. The rumors that the former Game of Thrones star would appear were fueled when Mandalorian showrunner Jon Favreau billed The Book of Boba Fett as “The Mandalorian Season 2.5″, instead of a true spinoff series.
Unsurprisingly, Morrison was coy — true to form for any production related to Favreau and Dave Filoni’s “Mando-verse” — but he did not outright deny Pascal’s involvement and, in fact, almost teased the fan-favorite actor’s appearance when he was outright asked if Djarin would show up:
“I can’t say anything, but we have some wonderful, colorful things to look forward to. I don’t want to say too much about it because we’re all going to go on this journey together. And every little bit of information is pretty precious now.”
