Paz Vizsla

The two had another altercation in the spin-off series The Book of Boba Fett over ownership of the Darksaber, a legendary lightsaber forged by Paz's ancestor, Tarre Vizsla.

Encased in physically imposing Beskar armor, Paz Vizsla is a heavy infantry warrior who uses a large, minigun-like blaster as well as a jet pack.

Physically portrayed by Tait Fletcher, a stunt performer and former mixed martial artist, the character was voiced by Jon Favreau, the creator and showrunner of The Mandalorian; Favreau previously voiced Pre Vizsla, another member of House Vizsla, in the animated television series Star Wars: The Clone Wars.

[7] Paz Vizsla's survival is confirmed in the episode "Chapter 5: Return of the Mandalorian" of the spin-off series The Book of Boba Fett, where he and the Armorer have relocated to a new enclave beneath the massive space station city of Glavis.

Djarin reunites with them at the new covert and presents the Darksaber, an ancient Mandalorian lightsaber that gives its wielder the right to claim rule over Mandalore, that he won in combat against Moff Gideon.

In "Chapter 23: The Spies", both the Nite Owls and the Children of the Watch tribes unite in order to reclaim Mandalore, requiring them to travel to the Great Forge alongside survivors from the planet's purge.

[3][9][15] Tough and aggressive,[6][16] he is good in a fight, as seen by his efficiency in attacking and repelling multiple bounty hunters during the climactic scene in "Chapter 3: The Sin".

This distinguishes him from the show's title character, who reluctantly accepts a bounty hunting assignment from Imperials, a decision that ultimately leads to a brief physical skirmish between him and Vizsla.

For The Mandalorian's first and third seasons and in The Book of Boba Fett, Paz Vizsla was voiced by Jon Favreau, the show's creator and showrunner.

Inverse writer Jake Kleinman called him a "fan-favorite character" who "made a big splash" despite his relatively brief screen time, particularly describing his salute to the Mandalorian as an "iconic" moment.

[25] Niner Times writer Noah Howell called the character "just the best", and particularly praised the scene in which Vizsla and the other Mandalorians rescue the protagonist at the end of "Chapter 3: The Sin".

[4][24][27] The figure is 12.5 in (32 cm) in height, taller than most Star Wars Hot Toys figurines due to the character's larger size, and includes such accessories as a minigun blaster, alternate hands, a knife, a themed base to pose him upon, and special effects pieces for his jetpack to simulate rocket blasts.

[28][29][30] Hasbro also released a 6 in (15 cm) action figure of Paz Vizsla as part of the company's Star Wars: The Black Series toy line.

Paz Vizsla was originally voiced by Jon Favreau , the creator and showrunner of The Mandalorian .
