The Mandalorian Cast
The show stars Pedro Pascal (Javier Pena in Narcos) in the title role. It is surprising that even without revealing his face, Pascal made me have sympathy to his character. The second lead is The Child or Baby Yoda (performed by various puppeteers) affectionately. The Child is the member of the same unnamed species as the Jedi Master Yoda. The other supporting cast includes Carl Weathers as Greef Karga leader of the Guild, Werner Herzog as the Client – The one who the child needs to be delivered ,Taika Waititi as the voice and Mo-cap of IG-11 assassin/hunter droid, Gina Carano as Carasynthia Dune –former rebel shock trooper, Giancarlo Esposito as Moff Gideon – an ICB officer and Emily Swallow as the Armorer.
