Did Pedro Pascal Save One Of The Mandalorian Season 2"s Best Scenes?

Summary

• Pedro Pascal insisted on scrapping a scene in The Mandalorian season 2 where Din Djarin's face was supposed to be revealed because he believes his face reveals should only come "when the stakes feel the highest."
• Pascal's decision to keep his face hidden demonstrates his dedication to the role of Din Djarin and his understanding of the character. He was willing to sacrifice his "human need to be seen" in favor of making the show and story work.
• Although Pascal's face has only been revealed three times so far, it is likely that there will be future face reveals if the stakes are high enough. Dave Filoni's upcoming The Mandalorian-era movie, featuring Grand Admiral Thrawn as a threat, could be a potential opportunity for another face reveal.

There was one scene in The Mandalorian season 2 where Din Djarin's face was going to be revealed, but actor Pedro Pascal himself stopped it from happening. One of the most intriguing and iconic things about Din's character since his debut has been his strict helmet rule, a strong part of his creed that other Mandalorians in Star Wars history have never followed. Bo-Katan Kryze, Sabine Wren, and other notable Mandalorians were always comfortable in removing their helmets, which has made Mando's strict rule become an even more interesting thread of his story.
Din's devout adherence to this part of the creed has only made the appearances of Pascal's face in The Mandalorian even more significant. As someone who's proven they would choose death over breaking the creed, Din's face has only been revealed three times over the course of The Mandalorian's three seasons, including a lengthy interlude in The Book of Boba Fett. The first time shows the severity of his wounds from his battle with Moff Gideon in The Mandalorian season 1 finale, and the other two have marked his character development in him breaking his creed for Grogu. There was, however, supposed to be a fourth - and it was Pascal himself who kept it from happening.

Pedro Pascal Resisted Another Mandalorian Season 2 Face Reveal Pascal reveals in an interview with Variety that the beginning of an episode in The Mandalorian season 2 was meant to include a scene of Din without his helmet in a "different kind of costume," but he insisted they should scrap it. His collaborators were shocked at this idea, and Pascal argued that his face reveals should only come "when the stakes feel the highest." Based on the nature of this particular scene, there simply wasn't enough at risk.
This seems like a surprising move for someone whose face is almost never seen in the role, which is something Pascal often unfortunately gets discredited for. Pascal, however, was willing to sacrifice his "human need to be seen" in favor of making the show and the story work, which only proves his dedication to the role of Din Djarin. It also demonstrates the depth of Pascal's understanding for Mando's character, especially looking at the possibilities of where this scene was supposed to land in The Mandalorian season 2.
