Mandalorian Actor is Going On The Road

Last week, Mandalorian actor Dominic Pace join us In The Cantina to spread the word about his Small Business Tour. Disney fan website Inside The Magic is helping to get the news out to more fans! An excerpt of their coverage is below and you can read the entire article HERE:

In a world that is increasingly turning to online media, comic shops rely heavily on in-person events and local community gatherings that simply couldn’t happen last year. That’s where one Mandalorian actor, Dominic Pace, stepped in to save the day. Pace played the surprising fan-favorite character, bounty hunter Gekko, in two episodes of The Mandalorian Season 1, “Chapter 1: The Mandalorian” and “Chapter 3: The Sin”. Recently, the actor spoke to Rebel Force Radio about his comic book tour last year to raise money for struggling small businesses — and how he plans to continue this new tradition again in 2021. “I didn’t expect the success for the tour [the 2020 tour] to have as it ended up playing out. Um, I was able to raise over $25,000 for small business, combined with working alongside the amazing charitable organizations of the 501st Legion, The Mandalorian Mercs, as well as the Rebel Legion, and we raised close to $5,000 for charity.

I thought it was a beautiful message that was sort of parallel to so many of Disney’s teachings, so many of Dave’s [Mandalorian executive producer Dave Filoni] teachings. We have these beautiful proverbs before The Clone Wars [animated series Star Wars: The Clone Wars] and Rebels [animated series Star Wars Rebels] in regards to believing in yourself and sometimes with even the smallest package, amazing things can happen.”
