Public backlash from the posts led to Carano being fired from the series and dropped as a client by the United Talent Agency. In others, the actress cast doubt on the legitimacy of the 2020 presidential election and spoke out against the wearing of protective masks during the COVID-19 pandemic.

“ Now Season 3 is mainly dealing with Mandalorians and the Mandalorian saga, the Mandalorian tale,” commented Filoni.

“It was something that was discussed as we knew it was going to have impact on the show, but at the same time, what has been at the heart of the show are the two characters - Din Djarin and Grogu - so ultimately it felt like a servicing of that, and around the Mandalorians.”Įxecutive producer Dave Filoni also emphasised the importance of Dune to the development of Pedro Pascal’s protagonist Din Djarin, but noted that there are a multitude of characters “fighting for their screen time.”
