5. Din Djarin

Of course, Din Djarin is invited over for the holidays! We couldn’t have invited the Child without inviting his Mandalorian chaperone. Din just needs to kick back and relax over the holidays. He strikes us as the type of guest who falls asleep on the sofa after dinner and frankly, he needs the rest. When it comes to Poe’s great Die Hard debate, Din just nods along with feigned interest. He’s never been one to watch holodramas.

Din is also pretty cultured, we know that he knows a lot of different languages and has a pretty strong respect for other cultures, so despite being quiet he’ll be able to converse with your other guests. Let’s just hope he doesn’t bring any bounty hunter work home for the holidays. We don’t need Moff Gideon breaking down our door to try to steal the Child.

Given Din’s strict adherence to the Mandalorian creed, you are going to have to provide him with a private place to enjoy dinner without his helmet on. No peeking either, as tempting as it is. Speaking of what he’s wearing, you are not going to get him into a holiday sweater. Unless you want to meet the whistling birds.

We can’t help but wonder what sort of hijinks BB-8 and the Child would get up to together, while their father figures watch with amusement. Plus, Pedro Pascal and Oscar Isaac are real-life friends. That sounds like the perfect combination. Just like pumpkin pie and a mountain of whipped cream.
