At the end of Season 3, protagonist Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) and the newly christened Din Grogu — who very well may still be Baby Yoda to plenty of fans — are at peace. Based on a confluence of factors including the fact the Season 3 finale could serve as a natural conclusion to his story, some fans began to theorize Pascal’s Djarin might be out as the show’s titular Mandalorian. However, Bo-Katan Kryze actor Katee Sackhoff killed the Pascal replacement rumor for “The Mandalorian” Season 4, describing the series as Din Djarin’s story first and foremost.
While this might mean that Pascal will be back for the upcoming season, his name is not included in the “Mandalorian & Grogu” announcement. Pascal did, however, celebrate the news on his Instagram Story. Beyond this suggestion that he’s still a part of the franchise, Djarin is the sole Mandalorian who shares a close bond with Grogu. The idea that the title of this film might refer to anyone other than Djarin, then, would be at least a little strange. Nevertheless, given that fans have already speculated about Pascal’s departure, the fact his name isn’t yet attached to the movie suggests that his involvement isn’t yet guaranteed, even if he is strongly implied to have a part in Season 4.
