    probably will not watch as often if Din Djarin and Grogu are not the main story line anymore.

    1. Seth

      This is more about cost of production. Pedro is a big star now and demands big dollars.

      1. Alina

        Then give it to him, he deserves it.

        1. Kevin Wilkins

          If Din and Grogu are not going to be the main focus, then what’s the point? Does woke Disney really have to ruin everything about Star Wars? The Mandalorian was the best thing they had going in the SW universe.

          1. Cort Vahl

            Please don’t use the woke shit here. Can’t we have one place where we don’t have this political crap.

          2. King Willie

            Precisely the position of those who are sick of woke crap in every piece of media and sport.

          3. Jeremy

            Having a female protagonist doesn’t make something inherently woke.

        2. Ajari

          I agree pay the man

        3. Tihac

          I know they are going towards lore path but I would like for Din Djarin and Grogu to be aparat doing theyre own thing but yet again they know if they exclude them and do separate things people will watch those two and wont watch mandalorians

      2. Fray

        And the mandalorian is a big show from a huge franchise on Disney+ (big ass channel) so…

      3. A.S

        So they should pay him if that is the cass. Those 2 characters were the only reasons people were watching this show. Who gives a single F$ck about bo katan or that scientist

    2. Alina Zarate

      I agree. I became hooked because of him and Grogu; if they’re not going to be in it or are not the stars, I’m out.

      1. I has to be that female disney exec that changes everything in star wars. That what happens when she has lots of businesses to mind.

      2. Z Winston

        BINGO! Pedro was the only reason for watching! A little Grogu…. but mostly Pedro

        1. korosh

          Yes they were but disney had to ruin it cause that is the only thing they are good at

        2. Cari

          The title is “The Mandalorian”… it never specified WHICH Mandalorian they would follow. 🤷‍♀️ I am pretty much with the majority here though… if Din isnt going to be the feature, I’m not interested. We already know Bo’s story. Grogu has pretty much already become background noise instead of a feature. He should have just stayed with Luke… that whole rescue is basically pointless now… as was the entire second season and the journey to get him to his Jedi people.

        3. gpriver1

          Pedro hasn’t been on set once for season three. If the helmet is on, it isn’t Pedro.

        4. Nephi

          🖕🖕🖕🖕

    3. Mt

      Fk woke disney. Woman MANDALORIAN WHAT A JOKE FK THIS SHOW NOW

      1. Darth Nihilus 66

        Woke Disney? Bro. Mandalorians are also female. That’s not a woke idea, Bo Katan was a character BEFORE Din. If she takes over the show that’s fine. She’s a solid character. Pedro Pascal probably wants to branch out and do other projects.

        1. Freddy

          It is woke when you replace the male main character for a female. Disney is gonna learn sooner than later GO WOKE GO BROKE. I’m done watching

          1. Fred Savagery

            Disney will never go broke. Only snowflakes like yourself believe that. It’s sad that you can’t handle the fact that women make up 50% of the population. But I’m sure it doesn’t help that you’re afraid to speak to a single one of them.

          2. A.S

            You must be one of those beta ass simps freddy

          3. A.S

            *freddy savagery

          4. JB

            I mean, I’d rather simp women than men, but you do you, a.s.

          5. Jeremy

            Men who think men are better than women because of their gender are beta males.

          6. Doc

            Oh no guys. Freddy is gonna stop watching. What ever will multi BILLION dollar Disney do without Freddy.
            🤣🤣

        2. A.S

          Solid character? Lol you got to be kidding

        3. Jumbo jones

          Your such a simple cuck douche. You couldn’t pay me to watch that boring female led garbage now.

    4. Nancy

      I agree

    5. Sky

      Nice, I got out of Disney+ at the right time. You had a great run, my favourite duo!

  2. Idontcare

    I’m done watching then.

    1. Marcelo

      Well, thank you for the warning, so, I do not need to sign in Disney anymore…

      1. Alina

        I agree.

    2. STEVEN

      “The Mandolrian” is and aways has been “Baby Yoda”. This is why he is not in the main Jedi story line. He is off on mandalor ruling with a modified shortened dark saber.

    3. Shell

      While expanding the story line adds interest and creates suspense, losing focus of the main character and reason for the show’s incredible popularity would be a major mistake. Din and Grogu and THAT story is what we all want to see. The other stories are the sidelines that build interest. It would be so foolish to ignore how much the fandom cares about Din and Grogu. Don’t water down my favorite show!

      1. MaryFrances

        I cannot get into this season because the focus has changed . I was so excited for it to start and now I feel a little disappointed that it has shifted away from the Mandalorian Din and Gogru those are the main reasons why everyone has been here waiting for every season to start .. I won’t watch it if they are not the main focus of the show but Pedro is the Mandalorian!

    4. korosh

      Same. Not gonna waste my time. This show is done. Feminist bs stikes again and again.

  3. Samantha

    Started watching for Pedro and stayed for Din and Grogu. Can’t say I’ll stick around if they put them on the backburner.

    1. Dennis

      Yeah, if it’s true, I’m done

  4. Bob

    Starbuck saves the Galaxy again. Done watching.

  5. John Michael whitehead

    I’m done with watching the show the two them made this fun watch now if it’s true then I’m done

    1. Behnam

      I won’t believe it until i see it, if Pedro Pascal is basically a sidekick then I’ll stop watching the show. Who gives a flying f*** about Sackoff, let her be the leader of the Mandalorians but don’t make her the focus of the show. Season 1 and 2 had their little bad moments but other than that those seasons were awesome! Season 3 however is absolute garbage, this became more evident as one entire episode was focused on two nobodies Dr Poopshing and The Dyke. And to top the awfulness of this season off they had goddamn Jack Black and Lizzo of all people pop up😒 those two do not belong in the Star Wars world just as Starbuck, sorry i mean Sackoff doesn’t

      1. Jean-Paul Pierre

        I can’t tell if this is a joke or not someone help me

        1. Jean-poop

          Why would this be a joke? This is absolutely true.

      2. ALAN.

        Awww is somebody’s middle feelings hurt that a woman is in charge?

        1. Jason King

          You like that, don’t you, your momma probably has a collar around your neck, lik B****

        2. Vic

          Women are never ever going to have the strength of men. I would love to see a war of men vs women just to get them off their high horse.

      3. Jason King

        Couldn’t agree more.

      4. Jeremy

        Lol, she’s been in Star Wars longer than Pedro has. Her character is infinitely more important to Star Wars as a whole.

  6. Dee Yeager

    Well another show ruined ….pretty sure after this season I won’t be watching….

  7. Lee

    As usual, Disney ruins something else. Won’t continue with the series if Pascal is reduced to window dressing. I am very bored with this season.

    1. A.S

      Disney is woke af what did you expect?

  8. Nerdy McMuffin

    (Pushes up my glasses) Well actually, the one to have the Dark Sabre has the title “Madalore”.

  9. ilya

    absolute BS. will 100% stop watching if the show doesnt focus on din/grogu. couldnt care less about bo katan.

  10. Innerastronomer

    Well done Disney, you’ve managed to destroy a great series. Season 3 is a mess and I continue watching in hopes you’ll redeem it. Doubt I will watch Season 4.

  11. Can someone please fire Kathleen Kennedy. She keeps dipping her gross ass hands in the pot that is Star Wars. Everything is fine until she breathes and turns it to garbage.

    1. Stinkythecat

      I agree

  12. Rob

    Just sitting over here being a real star wars fan. I think this season is great. If you don’t like it don’t watch, what’s the point of spewing hate?

    1. Jean-Paul Pierre

      Thanks Rob we need more of you online, I swear I’m not being sarcastic

    2. Nobody

      That’s part of the problem. People aren’t watching. The ratings are sinking every week. Being critical of changes made to a beloved show isn’t “spewing hate”.

    3. Jason King

      So because your blind ass wants to walk off a cliff, we should all follow? If you can’t see what garbage SW has become that’s fine but shut your damn mouth, nobody wants to hear you talk.

    4. Alex

      Season 3 viewership is in freefall. Dropped 25% so far and will keep going this way.

      You are absolutely correct, people do not like this what Disney turned the series into and they do stop watching.

      I predict a cancellation after season 4/5.

      So I guess you are getting exactly what you asked for, Rob.

  13. Chris

    I’m liking season 3. I don’t know what everyone is complaining about.

    1. Joe

      You like it because you’re lame Chris, and if you don’t understand what we are complaining about, then clearly you haven been paying attention.

  14. james l gardner

    If din djarin and sir grogru aren’t on there anymore Will ruin series and will not be worth watching

    1. Paul

      This is about din djarin and grogru. Let them be a big part of recapturing Mandalore for all the mandalorians.

  15. Lynda

    Pedro or nothing

    1. Cláudia

      I love the show. The first 2 seasons were amazing and I’m enjoying this one, but it’s not the same.
      Din and Grogu should be the main characters! I don’t mind Bo Katan having the dark saber or whatever, i like her, but not to be the focus of the show! Tbh is already too disappointing that Grogu is barely appearing or actually doing something, don’t ruin the show by not giving the true Mandalorian Din the screentime he deserves and we all want.
      That’s disappointing to see, idk how Disney is managing to destroy the best Star Wars content in the last years, smh

  16. Gus J

    Just another example of Disney ruining another storyline. They don’t understand that sometimes a storyline can be in the same universe and yet doesn’t need to connect directly with another story. It sounds like the executives are trying to connect the stories to justify spending money. Sometimes one story will be more popular that others and they will try to save the others. Disney messed up on some of the other starwars movies and now they expect this show and future others to save the starwars universe to make the audience interested in the upcoming movies. They are gonna sacrifice disney+ shows for the big screen. At the expense of the audience. Just watch.

  17. Mabel

    What a disppointment. Season 3 has ruined the series. I am canceling my Disney subscription.

  18. Bill

    So many Star Wars fans are so mean-spirited. “The Mandalorian” is implicitly a collective reference. One doesn’t say, “The Mandalorians” – just like you don’t say, “Pokémons.” I assumed from the beginning that the show would be about more than just Din and Grogu. Katee Sackhoff is amazing, Pedro Pascal is amazing, and I’m happy to see the show expand and broaden the scope. It is The Way.

    1. Ari

      Clearly you haven’t watched other Star Wars shows, movies, or read any of the comics. Every time a group or collective of them are mentioned they are referred to as Mandalorians not Mandolarian which is the name of the race/group these people are a part of. Star Wars fans are not mean-spirited, we’re just tired of getting shafted by the writers of literally 90% of Star Wars content coming out. Season 3 is terrible, it has completely lost the plot of what they had set up from season 1 and 2. Nobody cares if the show expands. But Din and Grogu ARE the main reasons why people even watch the show and for them to take a sideline is just ridiculous. This season has clearly been rushed as well with an entire episode being mainly about a side story that will not have an impact for a while and takes away from the show as a sacrifice. The latter of which was a big complaint about the Book of Boba Fett that people had. If this continues they are going to lose the majority of their audience which are clearly voice their discontent for this season and the way the show is heading. Everything that they’ve used with the armorers conversation to convince Bo also applies to Din. But the shows decided to completely ignore that and go with her instead. As far as I and everyone else is concerned Din IS The Mandalorian.

    2. Vic

      You suck, you’re the type of guy that does whatever your girl tells you to do.That is if you even have one.

  19. WarnerVH

    The series was most balanced and at its best when it was about Din, Cara and Grogu. The 1st season was steller and it appeared that Star Wars was heading back on track with at least one of there projects. But now, I can see the infestation of poor story telling, no direction of story arc and woke culture have ruined even this series; much as it has most other Stat Wars incarnations.

    Shame, I really enjoyed the 1st two seasons.

  20. Dee

    maybe Grogu was meant to be the Mandalorian all along

  21. Bob

    I think everyone is missing the point… It says Pedro, not Din. Im pretty sure it means Pedro is out, he was “phoning it in” for most of it anyway.
    It’s a great show… Personally I wanna see Din and Bo get it on already!

  22. Marie

    I’m conflicted about the change of storyline and will be sad to see the Din/Grogu dynamic be on the sideline. There are so many production insider factors and reasons that we aren’t privy to yet. Pedro Pascals skyrocketing career and upcoming cowboy movie may be a factor (and this may be controversial, but his personal life may influence Disney’s decision about his character.) I love and support Pedro Pascal as Din and his continued success in getting great roles.

  23. Dee_Hoss

    I for one have no problem with this. Pedro has become too big of a star for them to afford him for more than bit of voiceover. The funny thing is now that I know to look I can totally tell when it’s Brendan Wayne in the armor from his goofy gunslinger walk.

    To all the derp, derp, woke Disney, derp, I almost saw a boob you’re trying to groom me, derp, derp. Go find a public restroom, steal the door handle, then go sit in the middle of the freeway and lick it. Joe Rogan said that’ll make you grow 4 inches, your unit grow three inches, women will instantly stop macing you, and maybe drop the restraining orders. Alex Jones said so too so you know it’s true!

    Disney is only as woke as they need to be to make money. It turns out a everyone likes inclusion except for a bunch of Hot Pocket breathed, lotion smelling, minimum wage shutins who have all the spending power Mommy and Daddy allow isn’t a profitable market. Who knew? Fail to get woke go broke is the truth. However a good rule of thumb in the future would be to distrust any advice which rhymes.

    1. Kennedy H

      Totally agree. I don’t much care who “The” Mandalorian of the week is. But I do hope they can find a way to keep Grogu in the mix. He’s more open to making new friends. Maybe he won’t always have to be by Din’s side.

      I love Pascal, but he’s pretty much just a voice so I often feel disconnected from him.

    2. Fred Savagery

      Thanks for stating this much better than myself

    3. A.S

      Dee Hoss No one is gonna read all that bs! Bet your loser ass on that…So you can take all that and shove it up to your beta simp ass.

  24. Deus

    The show is not titled Mandalorians. It’s THE Mandalorian aka Din Djarin

  25. Jack

    So the Man with no Name is now part of the Magnificent Seven.
    Stop complaining for the sake of complaining.

  26. Fred G

    Done.

  27. Doug

    Done watching this show. Pc bs strikes again.

  28. Will

    Everyone knows this is not real right? There is no real Mandalorian. It’s a show. If you don’t find it entertaining don’t watch it. We all have our favorite actors but really it’s still just for entertainment. Now if Pedro Pascals wants to run as president of the United States then he has my vote.

  29. I’m actually get Disney channel to watch mandalorian is Pedro will not going to be Mando , I will disconnect Disney , NO PEDRO PASCAL AS MANDALORIAN NO DISNEY

  30. Schwaltzbauer

    Everybody’s worried about Pascal not being in spotlight anymore when, who knows, maybe he was in the serie in flash and bones only in that few occasions he removed his helmet, only giving his voice to the character played instead by some mr Nobody less expensive than him…
    And even if it’s him all the time, he plays with his head in a bucket all the time, so what’s the big deal.

    I’m happy to see Katee Sackhoff more often and in a more centered role, I’m in love with that mega hot angel since she played Starbuck in early 2000s, so, good for me!

    1. Nobody

      You obviously haven’t watched every episode.

  31. Lee

    From the first season I’ve said that the child (later got the name Grogu) was The Mandolorian. I truly enjoy the whiners treating this site as truth. Weirdest interpretation of what is essentially “no comment” I’ve ever seen.

  32. Thugster

    Of course he is not the mando Lorain anymore, he is a male and the equality nonsense dictates that a woman needs to replace every male, that is their definition of equality and unless you wake up, that is exactly what is happening. Turn on sports networks and see how many all female know nothing shows are on. Happening despite your denial

    1. Kennedy H

      😭😭😭😭😭😭

  33. Zach

    He is though, he bathed in the pools beneath Mandalore…. I seent it.

  34. Legion

    This announcement reads like a first shot across the bow to Pedro, a reminder that he is a rising star and not yet irreplaceable. The facts are however that just like Cavil, once removed, the show has nothing.

    1. I am tired of these Major Corporations Buying Our Massively in Demand Legendary Star Wars Universe, who when creating New Content in Off-Shoot Titles like “The Mandarin” that are running into problems with Key Characters losing the Actors for different reasons.

      The Mandalorian is rarely seen without his Helmet off and so there was no Reason to Hire Top Actors as they can’t commit to the Series being Renewed due to other Productions they also want to be involved in.

      I would still have enjoyed the Series with a less popular actor who will Continue to further Seasons in that Role.

      We see this with The Witcher Main Star who is leaving the Role playing the Main Character Breaks the Viewer Belief in the Character asks a great deal from the Fans to See the replacement Actor as Geralt as “The Witcher”.

      1. Lol. Sorry.

        I first wrote “The Mandarin”!!!

        But I was referring to and meant to write “The Mandalorian”…

  35. ZAGODUWISHEDEXSTED DOESNT

    A bunch of right wing snowflakes

    1. A.S

      Comes from a woke lefty 🤢

  36. Me

    Already planned to quit show after this season anyway so far as Im concerned they can do what they want. Pedro’s next big thing the last of us…. I stopped watching that 10 minutes into episode 3. I have a good habit of pulling the plug right before a show goes downhill. It usually gets real boring with plotless filler before the wokeness pops in.

  37. Tapio Litzen

    I think Grocu will eventually become the Mandalorian.

  38. Craig

    Already cancelled it

  39. Michael Brown

    Like all things Disney they turned it into a girl power show and it just sucks now. I stopped watching after episode 3. I haven’t seen any of the last ones nor will I. Season 3 is garbage.

  40. Elbee

    The relationship between Din Djarin & Grogu is the reason I fell in love with the show. Watching their bond grow & deepen was the reason I watched. To say this season so far has been a disappointment is an understatement. No Grogu & Din, no show & I will not watch.

  41. Nick

    Translation: This show is popular and as such we will use it to force our shitty spin off characters onto people.

  42. ALAN.

    Awww is somebody’s middle feelings hurt that a woman is in charge?

  43. Darth Gator

    After watching Season 3 again, I am starting to think they never intended for Grogu to be part of this season. I think they were going to leave him with Luke & wrote him in because of his popularity.

  44. Nancy

    Pedro Pascal is THE Mandalorian – the relationship with Din and Grogu is what drew me to the show – I’m not happy with Seadon 3 but will watch the final 2 episodes before I make a final decision on my Disney + subscription

  45. Jan

    Din and Grogu best things about show Pedro’s why we watched in the first place.

  46. CONELRAD

    The Womandolorian….let’s see how that works out for them.

  47. Sapphire

    I just finished season 2 today and going to start season 3 but my beloved Din Djarin isn’t the Mandalorian anymore? What the actual huck is that? Isn’t Din supposed to be the protagonist?

  48. Anna

    For me this is the reason that it’s not as good anymore. Taking nothing away from other characters, the magic was him and grogu. Now the story is too complicated and sprawling. Sorry

  49. Marsha Hill

    I loved you, & never saw your face. Hope your next journey goes well…m

  50. Rob

    Kys, if you want a click so bad just get railed in the butt with dangerous objects on OF.

  51. korosh

    This was a good show for 2 seasons until disney decided to mess this up (as always)

  52. JB

    This threat is crawling with beta men who have obviously never known the company of a woman, let alone deserve it. Grow up. There’s nothing wrong with a woman taking lead. You are sad little men.

  53. PrinceNYC

    So since Star Wars is now telling the stories we watched as cartoons in live action they are now ‘woke’? The people in this forum sound ridiculous.

  54. Charlie

    I never realized that the word could possibly be interpreted as plural. I get it 3rd season sets up for movie reuniting the mandalorian race under the dark saber. Done earlier in the animated clone wars series…maybe 🤔

  55. Lish

    If Pedro is out…I’m out. Sorry not sorry Disney. Pedro Pascal IS the mandalorian. Give Bo Katan her own series and introduce who you want to introduce.

  56. Eileen Warkala

    Without Pedro Pascal being the main character, I won’t be watching anymore. They really messed up because I couldn’t wait for the next season.

  57. The title the mandalorian is not inclusive to a single character. It never has been and it never will be. They started off the series focusing on a couple of foundlings which make up small percentage of the mandalorian. When they refer to the mandalorian it’s like they refer to the ute, or the Navajo, there does not need to be the letter s at the end of it to meeting more than one. I’ve enjoyed the story so far. I believe that John favreau and David filoni have the best interest of the franchise in mind. I believe in order for this series to save valid, it’s going to need to follow multiple story arcs tying into the mandalorian as a culture and it’s overall influence throughout the galaxy. To refuse to watch the show once these two characters are no longer the primary focus is pretty shallow, and doesn’t really show much hope for you other than complaining about how it’s not what you want in the Star wars universe. None of us are going to be able to dictate what storylines are manifested throughout the Star wars universe, if we could then was the point be the point of even having them, cuz it just be all predetermined fanfiction. So y’all go ahead and b****, and moan, and do your little complaining and get all caught up in the ” ” politics. I on the other hand am going to enjoy the depth, and texture that has been wove throughout multiple storylines and multiple series creating a very rich landscape of science fiction.

  58. STORYWARS

    This is some real “we’re all the flash” type bs.

  59. amanda

    Listen to the people who watch the show & want to continue watching the show: We want Din and Grogu’s story.

  60. Dre

    The director confirms that no one will watch this show anymore.

  61. Mario T.

    Of course we finally have a Latino with a lead role in the Star Wars franchise and it gets taken away. Not cool. I hope they do not pivot away from Pedro because of financial excuses. The Mouse has deep pockets.

  62. Michael

    Sounds like Kathleen Kennedy involved herself once again…

  63. Duncan

    I’m not a big fan of the changes. I wanted a man making his way through the galaxy. I love mandalorians, and glad to see more of them on the screen. But mix in these short seasons with hit or miss episodes and two year breaks and I’m out. Will binge watch when it’s finished airing.

    Also, Pedro Pascal really isn’t anything special.

  64. Tbone

    Season 3 is not very good. Instead of focusing on Din and Grogu which is why the show was popular in the first place along with good supporting characters they decide to shift gears and focus on Bo Katan. I have lost interest in this show.

  65. Jumbo jones

    The show is unwatchable now. Who wants to see a female main character. BOORING . I am done with Disney and all star wars forever. Woke garbage ruined both.

  66. AJ

    Disney’s woke fingerprints are all over this season, peaking hard in episode 6, which had tragic writing to top off Lizzo’s terrible acting. Pedro is better off without the dumpster fire this show is turning into.

    1. Ducky

      No Grogu & Din , no me. I’m not interested in Bo Katan as anything other than a secondary character AT MOST.

      And this from someone who has no problem at all with more diversity (gender &) in fiction IN THEIR OWN STORIES. Shoe-horning “diversity” into an already established universe is as bad as NOT telling diverse stories, imo.

      Pascal deserves whatever $ he’s asking for. If he and Grogu go, this show –and any faith in good Star Wars stories– are done.

  67. Farts

    we all knew this was going to happen, because male characters can only exist as neutered subservient wet noodles in disney’s content. i miss when chick flicks were chick flicks
