The Pascal Pulse - Issue 46

A Wrap Up From the Road

As this leg of The Mandalorian and Grogu press tour wraps, we keep coming back to the fans. The people who stood in the rain in Paris, waited for hours in Berlin and London, screamed, cried, shook, forgot their own names, handed over gifts and art, and walked away with memories they will probably carry forever.

And we are happy for them. Truly. We all should be.

One of the most beautiful parts of these events was also watching fans meet each other for the first time. Online friendships became real life hugs in line. People traveled across countries together, shared hotel rooms, helped hold spots in crowds, traded bracelets and gifts, comforted each other during overwhelming moments, and created memories together that had nothing to do with algorithms. That is the kind of fandom connection worth protecting.

For so many fans around the world, these events are impossible. Geography, money, work schedules, health, caregiving responsibilities, visas, life. There are countless people who may never realistically get the chance to attend something like this, which is why living a little vicariously through the joy of others felt both wonderful and bittersweet at the same time. A little jealousy can exist alongside happiness for someone else. That is human. What matters is how we treat each other with those feelings.

Because one fan’s experience should never take away from another fan’s joy.

We also want to acknowledge the disappointment many fans felt surrounding the planning and handling of some of these events. Limited access, confusing organization, influencer focused spaces, overcrowding, and the growing presence of hostile autograph hunters created environments that at times felt stressful instead of celebratory. Some fans were harassed in person. Some were shoved aside. Some were mocked online afterward for simply sharing their happiness. And honestly, we are sorry to the fans who experienced that.

We need to be better to one another. If we see fans being harassed at events, we should speak up. We are one community. One team. Online bullying and pile ons are not fair, and many of us have experienced it ourselves or watched others go through it in real time. Nobody deserves to be punished for having a moment of joy, excitement, or visibility.

At the same time, Pedro himself continues to model the kind of energy we should meet each other with. Again and again, fans described how present he was, how patient he was, and how hard he worked to give each person their moment no matter how exhausted he must have been. You can see how much this experience means to him, too. Not only is he carrying a major film, he is living out a dream alongside someone he has admired for years in Sigourney Weaver. There is genuine love and gratitude in the way he interacts with people, and we think that deserves recognition.

So maybe the takeaway from this week is simple: let’s not steal from each other’s moments. Let’s not tear someone down because we wish we had been there instead. Let’s support the fans who got their chance while still holding space for the fans who may never get one. Because fandom should feel like community, not competition.

And despite all the noise surrounding these events, what we will remember most are the smiles, the shaking hands, the tears, the fan art, the laughter, and the kindness Pedro brought into every room he entered.

Thank you, Pedro, for showing up fully every single time.

The amount of The Mandalorian and Grogu content we’ve gotten this past week feels unreal. Between premieres, press conferences, interviews, surprise appearances, fan moments, clips, and photos…we are tired. 😂

We truly cannot imagine how Pedro, Jon Favreau, Sigourney Weaver, and their teams are feeling while moving city to city during this nonstop press tour.

There have already been so many special moments during this press tour, and we’ve officially started putting together a running list of interviews, appearances, clips, and promo content because there is simply TOO Much to keep up with at this point. 😂

We’ll continue updating it as more content drops, and you can find the Google Sheet here.

A huge thank you to Pedro Pascal Daily @pascalarchive on X for somehow always being first with updates and coverage from nearly every event during this tour and any big event. They truly don’t get the credit they deserve.

And thank you to Pedro Pascal Nation @PedroPNation on X and on Instagram for collabing with us throughout this tour, along with all the fans who tagged us, shared clips, photos, translations, livestreams, and updates. Fandom really becomes a team during moments like this, and it’s been wonderful seeing everyone help each other keep up with the Pedro-verse chaos.

In a sweet moment from Pedro’s interview with Esquire UK, he was asked who inspires him to be better, and his answer was immediate: his brother Nico. Pedro described Nico, a pediatric neurologist and fellow Aries, with so much admiration and love that the moment instantly melted hearts online. 💜

Lux stunned at the Met Gala in a custom Cult Gaia Atelier look, styled by Mimi Cuttrell.

Described as “a study in form” beginning with “the body as sculpture,” the design referenced the Venus de Milo with soft matte tones, sculpted 3D detailing, and a beautifully timeworn finish that made the piece feel almost carved from stone itself. Cult Gaia Atelier described Lux as a living counterpart to the classical figure, existing in the space between strength and softness, permanence and motion.

And truly, this felt like a major fashion debut moment for Lux. The Met Gala is one of the biggest stages in fashion and entertainment, and seeing her arrive in such an artistic, striking look felt incredibly special.

The fashion moments did not stop there either. Lux later shared glimpses of her Met Gala after party look featuring pieces from Bottega Veneta, Prada, and Cult Gaia, again styled by Mimi Cuttrell. The photos felt effortlessly cool, cinematic, and confident, carrying the same elegance from earlier in the evening.

From before, after, and everything in between, this entire Met Gala moment felt like a true arrival for Lux on the fashion world stage.

Jamie Mizrahi and Coco Ullrich have quietly become one of the standout styling and grooming teams, blending heritage luxury houses like Chanel, Givenchy, Loro Piana, and Charvet with relaxed tailoring, layered textures, and vintage inspired silhouettes that still feel unmistakably Pedro.

May 4 • Berlin Fan Event
Pedro kicked off the tour in Chanel with textured tweed layering, soft gray knits, muted earth tones, and oversized amber toned glasses for the Berlin fan event. The mint green shirt beneath the knitwear created a muted spring palette that immediately had fans joking he matched Grogu himself. Even better? Pedro joked about it, too.

May 5 • Paris Fan Event
Outside Le Grand Rex in rainy Paris, Pedro greeted fans alongside Jon Favreau and Sigourney Weaver in a rich burgundy suede Chanel jacket layered over camel knitwear, a crisp white shirt, striped Chanel tie, and relaxed denim. Lion head buttons, subtle logo embroidery, and gold hardware elevated the look while still keeping it relaxed and cinematic against the rainy backdrop.

May 6 • Paris Press Junket
For the Paris press junket, Pedro stepped out in a sleek black Givenchy look with a deep zip front, relaxed silhouette, and subtle sheen that gave the outfit a cool retro sportswear feel. The oversized glasses and tousled hair softened the monochrome styling, while the loafers kept it polished instead of overly sporty.

It somehow landed perfectly between European art film lead and wealthy dad heading to dominate a luxury resort pickleball tournament.

May 7 • London Fan Event
For the London fan event, Pedro leaned into understated luxury with layered custom Chanel. The deep navy blazer, soft gray knit, and buttery yellow plunging v-neck created a relaxed 1970s-inspired silhouette that felt effortless and cinematic.

The standout detail was the Jessica McCormack Medallions Long Guard Lapis & Diamond necklace woven perfectly into the layered neckline. The rich cobalt blue stones mirrored the navy tailoring while the gold accents pulled warmth from the yellow knit beneath. Instead of competing with the outfit, the jewelry became part of the entire composition, adding texture, color, and just the right amount of quiet glamour.

It was one of those looks where the styling details did all the work. Soft layers, sharp tailoring, exposed neckline, and a striking jewelry moment that made the entire outfit linger in your brain long after the photos dropped.

May 7 • London Press • BBC One
For his BBC One appearance, Pedro leaned fully into “Cambridge Classics professor” energy in a Loro Piana corduroy bomber layered over tonal brown separates with tassel loafers, oversized aviators, and a giant green Chanel bag that practically became its own character. Loro Piana’s signature understated luxury made the entire look feel effortless while still incredibly elevated.

May 8 • London Influencer and Press Events
Pedro surprised fans influencers and press, alongside Jon Favreau and Grogu, at The Mandalorian and Grogu pop up in London, wearing a rich oxblood Chanel shirt, charcoal denim, and a vivid purple Charvet bow tie that completely stole the show. The subtle Chanel details, including the embossed Chanel logo worked directly into the jeans, kept the look polished while the bold color pairing made it feel playful and slightly eccentric in the best way.

And while some of the influencers may not have known the difference between Grogu and Yoda five minutes earlier, Pedro showed up looking delighted to meet everyone anyway.

Pedro and The Mandalorian and Grogu promo tour is officially heading to New York City and the schedule is starting to stack up in a very interesting way.

So far, Pedro is confirmed for:
• Good Morning America on May 11
• The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on May 12
• Late Night with Seth Meyers on May 13 (not confirmed on Seth’s website but is listed on Interbridge.com)

With three major NYC appearances lined up back to back, it’s hard not to wonder if the New York premiere of The Mandalorian and Grogu is happening somewhere in the middle of all of this. Disney hasn’t announced an official date yet, but the timing definitely feels intentional.

It’s also a little bittersweet seeing Pedro appear during the final weeks of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Pedro seems like such a kindred spirit with Colbert, so this appearance already feels like one fans are going to hold onto. On top of that, Pedro has always had such a warm and easy chemistry with Seth Meyers over the years, which makes us even more excited to see him back on Late Night as well.

We also absolutely had to share this moment of Pedro talking about Sigourney Weaver being “the first parent of science fiction” for him.

Watching the two of them interact throughout this press tour has been so special because you can genuinely tell how much admiration and love Pedro has for her. The pure fangirl energy jumps right through the screen. He gets us, guys.

The way he talks about her, looks at her, and lights up around her honestly makes our hearts sing a little. Seeing someone who grew up inspired by her now standing beside her during this huge Mandalorian and Grogu press tour feels incredibly full circle.

After years of wisdom, adventure, emotional support, soup consumption, and occasional intergalactic crime, we decided to ask the galaxy’s smallest and wisest creature for life advice.

💔 Dear Grogu, my crush keeps sending mixed signals. One day he’s staring at me like I hung the stars, the next he disappears for three days and comes back emotionally damaged. What does it mean?

Grogu: Patu.

💅 Dear Grogu, how do I become effortlessly cool like Din Djarin?

Grogu: Patu patu.

🚩 Dear Grogu, My boyfriend says “I work better alone” but keeps showing up at my house uninvited to protect me from danger. Red flag?

Grogu: Patu patu patu.

🛸 Dear Grogu, How do I know if someone likes me?

Grogu: Patu.

🎤 Dear Grogu, Is Pedro Pascal nice in real life?

Grogu: (soft) patu.

🧃 Dear Grogu, What should I do if I embarrass myself in front of my crush?

Grogu: PATU.

🌌 Dear Grogu, Would Din Djarin survive therapy?

Grogu: ...patu.

🍪 Dear Grogu, Did Pedro really steal your cookies?

Grogu: (angry) patu.

@hi_mynameis_lisa

This week, we want to shine a little light on Lisa - a talented artist whose work carries so much softness, emotion, and heart.

Lisa’s art often feels deeply personal in the best way: expressive, gentle, and full of feeling. Whether it’s a portrait, a fandom piece, or something created for a community project, there is always a sense of care behind it. Their work doesn’t just capture a face - it captures a feeling.

Lisa has shared how Pedro’s work, kindness, and support for the trans community helped inspire them to be more openly themselves and reconnect with joy and creativity. It is a beautiful reminder of how art, fandom, and community can genuinely touch someone’s life.

But right now, Lisa could use some of that community support in return.

Due to ongoing health and mobility struggles, Lisa needs a lightweight walker. In their country, walkers are not covered by insurance, and lightweight ones are especially expensive. The goal is €500, which would help Lisa get the walker they need for more stability, safety, and independence.

Crutches have become harder and less safe for Lisa to use, and because they cannot always rely on a wheelchair, this walker would make a real difference in their everyday life.

If 500 people donate just €1 / $1, we can reach the goal together.

Lisa has a Ko-fi. They are also working toward selling prints, including Pedro-related artwork, for anyone interested. Please note that they currently do not ship to America.

Every tiny bit helps and if you can’t donate, sharing the fundraiser is already a huge help.

Let’s show up for a wonderful artist and help Lisa get closer to the mobility support they need. 💜

The new LEGO Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu drop is here, and Grogu is once again proving that being tiny, dramatic, and snack-motivated is a full-time job.

There’s a buildable Grogu in beskar armor - complete with tiny blue cookies, a satchel for emergency snacking, and enough posable cuteness to recreate every “patu” expression imaginable. He can look innocent. He can look suspicious. He can look like he absolutely stole the cookie and would do it again.

And because one adorable chaos gremlin was not enough, the drop also includes an AT-RT Attack set, so Grogu can ride into battle with Mando like the galaxy’s smallest co-pilot with the biggest main-character energy.

Final verdict: we don’t just like it. We absolutely need it. Take our money and give the baby his cookie.

And before we close out this issue, we want to wish a gentle Mother’s Day to everyone celebrating in whatever way this day may look for them. 💜

To moms, stepmoms, chosen moms, grandmothers, caregivers, pet moms, and anyone who nurtures others with love every day. To those spending the day with family, those missing their mothers, those grieving children, those who cannot or chose not to have children, those navigating complicated relationships, and those simply trying to get through the weekend quietly and gently, we see you, too.

Mother’s Day can hold joy, grief, gratitude, loneliness, love, and longing all at the same time. So we hope everyone gives each other a little extra kindness and grace this weekend.

And maybe most importantly, let’s remember that not every feeling, memory, or act of love needs to become public content. Sometimes the kindest thing we can do is simply hold space for people quietly and respectfully.
