Star Wars’ highly anticipated next movie, The Mandalorian and Grogu, may be making a major change to Pedro Pascal’s Din Djarin, and it might be for the best. The Mandalorian and Grogu is a continuation of Mandalorian bounty hunter Din Djarin and his adoptive son Grogu’s story after the events of The Mandalorian season 3. While some details have been released via short teasers, much of the film’s plot remains a mystery.

Fans can likely expect an early trailer of The Mandalorian and Grogu at Star Wars Celebration 2025 in April, but until then, we’ll likely continue to be left in the dark. With much of Lucasfilm’s attention on the forthcoming Andor season 2, it’s not surprising that there hasn’t been any promotion or advertising for the film. However, when the time comes, Star Wars could do something completely new with The Mandalorian and Grogu’s poster.

The Mandalorian Movie Posters May Promote Helmetless Din Djarin

I’m Oddly Okay With Din Djarin Removing His Helmet

It’s been shown throughout The Mandalorian that Din Djarin doesn’t remove his beskar helmet as part of his religious beliefs and showing one’s face is in violation of the Mandalorian Creed. Despite this, audiences have seen Pedro Pascal appear without the Mandalorian helmet multiple times. Pascal’s appearance in The Mandalorian season 1 didn’t break the Creed because no living thing saw him without his helmet.

However, in The Mandalorian season 2, Din Djarin removed his helmet on multiple occasions to first find and later connect with Grogu. Din Djarin’s willingness to break his Creed for his son shows the depth of his affection, and just how pivotal these moments were for the character. However, with Pascal’s stardom, it’s clear that Lucasfilm will have to make the poster for The Mandalorian and Grogu an image of Din Djarin without his helmet. With a film release, it’s even more important that Star Wars uses the ᴀssets it has, namely Pedro Pascal’s name and likeness.

The Mandalorian Set This Promotional Precedent 3 Years Ago

In The Vanity Fair Shoot

Back in 2022, Star Wars was getting ready to release a lot of different shows in succession, notably The Mandalorian, Ahsoka, Andor, and Obi-Wan Kenobi. In response, the stars of all of these shows appeared on the cover of Vanity Fair. In this pH๏τoshoot, Pedro Pascal appeared in the Mandalorian suit without his helmet. It was a clear way to build excitement for The Mandalorian season 2 and other upcoming Star Wars shows.

However, with this precedent already established, it’s not a stretch to imagine that similar tactics will be employed for The Mandalorian and Grogu’s theatrical release – especially because Pascal was again featured on the cover of Empire Magazine without a helmet as he stood alongside Katee Sackhoff, who portrays Bo-Katan Kryze. This was particularly noteworthy because The Mandalorian season 3 was the first installment of the TV show to forego any helmetless scenes whatsoever, even if the marketing tried to suggest otherwise.

Even If There’s No Helmetless Poster, There HAS To Be A Helmetless Scene

It’s Been Too Long With One

Pedro Pascal’s role in The Mandalorian season 3 was largely considered a voice-only role, as his busy schedule didn’t allow for any overlap with The Mandalorian season 3’s production schedule. It seems that much of The Mandalorian and Grogu will be the same, but there have been reports that Pascal appeared on set, indicating that fans will finally be getting another helmetless scene.

Pedro Pascal hasn’t appeared helmetless in the Mandalorian armor since The Mandalorian season 2 finale. If Lucasfilm decides to use promotional materials that don’t feature Pedro Pascal’s face, there still has to be a scene where Din Djarin’s helmet comes off in the film. A poster not showing Pascal’s face may indicate to audiences that the helmet won’t come off in the film, meaning the scene may be more impactful if and when it happens.

Though details are still sparse about the plot of The Mandalorian and Grogu, we can expect more details next month at Star Wars Celebration, and maybe even a first look at the film’s poster. Whether Pedro Pascal appears in any promotional material or not, it’s clear that fans want to see Din Djarin without his helmet again, so it’s up to Lucasfilm to find a way to make that happen. No matter what details fans get in the coming weeks about The Mandalorian and Grogu, it’s clear that interest in the film is growing by the minute.
