There has been some major controversy within the fandom over who should take the helm, with options like Margot Robbie and Ayo Edebiri not fully landing with fans.

A Possibly Replacement That Fans Would Love

While Margot and Ayo are both incredible actors, many doubt they are the right fit for the franchise. In the midst of discussions, another name has been entered into the running by fans.

Pedro Pascal, the incredible actor known for this role in The Mandalorian, is becoming a prominent pick from fans.

With his charm and humor, Pedro could be the perfect person to navigate the intricate complexities of this franchise. In addition, he is a name that Disney fans love, making it more likely that the community would be receptive to this change.

With the sixth film allegedly coming in 2025, it is essential that Disney finds the perfect leading player to save this franchise once and for all.
