There were three other extra cameos in the sequence , however . After Dyn delivered the captive to Ran and got his payment , he cooly pilot out of the space station . The scheme Ran then deployed a ship to kill Mando , what he did n’t know was that Dyn snuck in the New Order tracker in Qin ’s pocket . And on cue , three X - Wings came flying by as they located their miss inmate . The ships were navigate by Filoni , Famuyiwa and Deborah Chow ( the director of the upcomingObi - Wan Kenobiseries ) who have all helm an installment or two ofThe Mandalorian .
All in all , there are fivedirectors call for inThe Mandalorian ’s first season . Filoni , Famuyiwa and Chow get two episodes each , while Bryce Dallas Howard and Taika Waititi ( who also played IG-11 ) target one each . Filoni and Famuyiwa both have released their sequence ( " Chapter 1 " and " The Gunslinger " for the former , while " The Child " and " The Prisoner " for the latter ) , but Chow still has a second outing in the grapevine . She helmed installment 3 title " The Sin , " as well as next week ’s installing ofThe Mandalorian , which is still presently untitled .
The directors are n’t the onlyThe Mandaloriancreatives who have had a cameo in the series . Back in episode 3,Favreau voiced Paz Vizla(physically played by Tait Fletcher ) - a fellow Mandalorian who specifically condemned Dyn for transacting with the Empire . He finally alter his mind and helped Dyn and child Yoda break away the H.M.S. Bounty hunters going after theForce - sensitive tike . Many assumed that Favreau ’s part was an court to hisThe Clone WarscharacterPre Vizsla of Clan Vizlsa , although it ’s worth noting the difference of the name ' spellings .
It ’s anybody ’s guess if we ’re ever going to see more of Filoni , Famuyiwa and Chow ’s ten - Wing pilots , but it ’s safe to assume that their appearance inThe Mandalorian ’s was nothing more than a cameo . Nevertheless , it ’s still a great direction to get the theater director in front of the photographic camera and a sport Easter egg forStar Warsfans .
