Disney tries to walk the fine line of not acquire the animosity of political groups as much as they can and that has served them well overall. And for that reason, I figure Mouse Country HQ is not very happy with this stupidity.
Your star actor behaves like a little bitch of the Empire and threatens a hit show, ain’t that a kick in the balls? Politicizing Star Wars was not a wise decision. Not even Mof Gideon is that stupid.
PS: Somebody pointed in Facebook that The Mandalorian can be replaced since he keeps the helmet on 95% of the times. As for the 2 first seasons? There is always DeepFake
Who the fuck is Pedro and why should I care?
He is the star of the Mandalorian, Disney+ hit TV show which was suppose to rescue the Star Wars saga from the swamp it is right now.
Disney hates politics and makes an effort to stay away because they know it hits the income.
He pretty much killed half the audience and the income
I’m gonna expect to see ryders in contracts about keeping your politics to yourself for losing your royalties.
Probably have to have something about being demonstrably damaging to the franchise, but, yes, they probably could.
Under the law of “Go woke, go broke” this sort of think almost always damages a brand.
Can’t anyone look up any public elected official’s office number?
Or is that Senator Cruz’s personal cell#, and pedro is an idiot.
In principle, yes, or you can call the capital switchboard and ask to be connected.
In practice, though, that takes at least a modicum of effort and time. This tweet turns it into a long-press-and-hit-call on most any cell phone – a much lower barrier to casual jackassery.
It’s his Austin office’s public number, taken from his Senate web site’s “Contact Me’ page. Hardly doxing.
Pedro Pascal has already been replaced. Starting in season 3, he is voice-over only, and never wears the costume again.
Speaking as an amateur voice actor, voices are way easier to replace than faces.
