For those not up on the news, the rumor is Pedro quit / was fired during the middle of season 2. Apparently he wanted more face time without the mask, and Disney / LF said no.C@LAg said:Champ Bailey said:
Anybody else read about the issues they are having with Pedro Pascal?
since they have gone with the ridiculous "keep your face hidden" idea (completely invalidated by everything in Clone Wars or Rebels), the issue is mostly irrelevant whether true or not.
He is not always in the armor, and his voice can be imitated.
I haven't been overly crazy about the "have to keep your mask on" thing since it seems to have come out of nowhere, and as an actor I would probably want my face out there... but this is something pretty awesome to be involved with. I wouldn't have walked over this. As mentioned though, it wouldn't be that difficult to seamlessly replace him.
