When Disney first bought the "Star Wars" franchise, many thought it would be a new renaissance for the saga on the big screen. But, while the films they've released have been massive blockbusters, reaction has been divisive. "Solo: A Star Wars Story" failed to meet box office expectations, and "Star Wars: Episode IX – The Rise of Skywalker" didn't exactly wow the critics. It's on the small screen that "Star Wars" has shone brightest in recent years, led by "The Mandalorian" on Disney+.
Launching in 2019, the series stars Pedro Pascal as the masked bounty hunter Din Djarin, who takes it upon himself to protect a mysterious alien child that fans have lovingly nicknamed "Baby Yoda." A swaggering space Western, the series surrounds Djarin with allies and enemies that populate the darker underbelly of the "Star Wars" universe, played by a who's who of well-known stars, rising newcomers, and veteran character actors.
While the series can be counted among some of the best work in their respective resumes, each member of the cast of "The Mandalorian" probably has a part in their past they're not so proud of. From Pascal on down, we've gone hunting and found some of the unfortunate movies and TV shows they've appeared in that they might not want you to know about.
