Some Disneyland Star Wars fans got the surprise of a lifetime over the weekend when actor Pedro Pascal put on a Mandalorian costume and showed up to the park.
Around 15 visitors were invited aboard the Millennium Falcon, an iconic space ship used in the franchise. The latest attraction, titled the “Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run”, debuts May 22 and is tied to the upcoming film “Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu,” which arrives in theaters the same day.
Pascal, the star actor in the film, was shown in behind-the-scenes footage preparing for his surprise appearance, as he dressed in a head-to-toe black clone trooper suit with a helmet on.
“Don’t make it too obvious it’s me,” he said. “I don’t think they’re going to hear my welcome, but I’ll just be like, what’s up?”
The visitors entered as they were introduced to The Mandalorian. A host asks Pascal if he has anything to say before sending them along, to which then Pascal takes off his helmet and reveals his face.
“Now you all have to die because you’ve seen my face,” he jokes, referencing franchise lore around Mandalorian warriors not showing their faces.
The visitors reacted with visible surprise and yelling, and later posed for pictures with Pascal.
The film’s director, Jon Favreau, star Sigourney Weaver and Lucasfilm President Dave Filoni were also in attendance at Disneyland’s Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.
