The Mandalorian and Grogu Imperial villain actor Jonny Coyne says his top secret Star Wars name came about in a very simple way, and he only had 2 hours to read the script

Pedro Pascal's Din Djarin and Grogu stand together at a bar in The Mandalorian and Grogu.

In The Mandalorian and Grogu, the titular main duo continue their struggle against the galaxy's lingering Imperial Remnants when they're set on the trail of the movie's main villain: an ex-Imperial by the name of Commander Coin, played by actor Jonny Coyne.

In the run-up to release, the bad guy's name was surrounded by mystery: director Jon Favreau even teased to Empire magazine "you'll like his character name when you hear it." While Coyne's character appeared briefly in The Mandalorian season 3's Shadow Council scene, which featured a collection of Imperials scheming against the New Republic, his character was unnamed.
