Although the 3rd season of the critically acclaimed show might not have exceeded what has come before, The Mandalorian season 3 do comprises its own charm and positives that make it worth watching. Following the journey of Pedro Pascal’s Din Djarin, one of the talking points from the series was the chemistry between Bo-Katan and Pascal’s character.
Although the bond between them was mostly platonic throughout the course of the series, this didn’t stop from fans shipping the two characters. Even though we didn’t get to witness the two being romantically involved with each other, it seems it almost made it into the show.
The Mandalorian star opened up about the scrapped kissing scene in the show
While reflecting on her time on the sets of The Mandalorian season 3, actress Katee Sackhoff, who portrays the character of Bo-Katan Kryze, opened up about a scrapped scene from the show. The actress revealed that during an outtake, Bo-Katan shared a kiss with Pedro Pascal‘s Din Djarin. Although she clarified that the moment took place in a hilarious situation, when Brendan Wayne (who wears the suit) kissed her through the helmet, it does bring out the romantic tension between the two. She said,
“They is definitely an outtake where Brendan Wayne grabbed my face and kissed me through the Mando helmet. It was quite funny. Brendan Wayne is one of the men that wear the suit. And it was really fun.”
Although the scene didn’t end up surviving in the editing room and was scrapped from the third installment, fans believe that it was a huge missed opportunity.
Fans claim that the decision of leaving the scene out was a mistake
Ever since the two characters came across during the second season, fans have been pretty vocal about their want to witness the characters ending up together in a romantic bond. And considering that the kiss between the two characters almost made it into the final cut, fans have been pretty vocal about the situation. Netizens have claimed that it was the biggest missed opportunity in the third season through Twitter.
