If they hate the original fans of Star Wars so much, why are they making
movies expecting them to come?

Another day, another Disney employee attacking Star Wars fans for
their own failure. This time it comes in the form of the suit actor
for The Mandalorian because Pedro Pascal can't be bothered to wear a
costume. Yet again, instead of self reflection their refusal to take
any responsibility for this mess will only alienate MORE of the few
remaining fans.

Hate the fans, love their money.

The answer is obvious. Fire PP.

I went and saw this the other day and it occurred to me that he was only actually in the movie for about 5 minutes. The rest of the movie, I assumed (turns out correctly) was just played by someone else in the suit since you never see his face.

Yep. Same issue with "The Mandalorian" TV series.

I recall Pedro Pascal saying in an interview that playing The
Mandalorian was a collaborative effort, with other performers
helping to create Din Djarin's physical presence on screen...
Which basically means, helmet off = Pedro Pascal, helmet on =
body double/stunt man.

Which probably save Lucasfilm a lot of money at the end of the
day!

Or more accurately... hate the fans having any critical opinions
but will happily take their money anyway, and come back for more!

I personally don't see this being any kind of problem whatsoever. Who
cares if Pedro Pascal is sweating under all that costume for 12 hour a day
long shoots? It was a decent movie, that's all that matters!

Yeah, probably was a lot cheaper to pay him to read lines in a booth than
have him mutter them under a helmet while acting and then have to read all
the lines in a booth to overdub them anyway. It's a smart move,
financially.
