The character is especially known for saying &#8220;this is the way.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The original episode in November 2019 had it spelled wrong (&#8220;Paz Vizla&#8221;) and it was uncorrected for a while&#8230; until at least recently.<\/p>\n<p>Wikipedia, IMDb, and even official licensees like Topps Star Wars Authentics have it wrong now.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s what we collectively know and when:<\/p>\n<p>Jon Favreau voiced the character of Pre Vizsla in The Clone Wars animated series. The character was a Mandalorian and member of Death Watch.<\/p>\n<p>Chapter 3 of &#8220;The Mandalorian&#8221; (Season 1) premiered on November 22, 2019. At the end of the show, Tait Fletcher is credited as the double for &#8220;Paz Vizla.&#8221; Jon Favreau is not credited for the voice, but it&#8217;s very clearly him. Here&#8217;s a tweet we authored after the show aired:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Great job by <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Jon_Favreau?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">@Jon_Favreau<\/a> who voiced Paz Vizla in episode 3 of <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/TheMandalorian?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">#TheMandalorian<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/arf4weO1Hv\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">pic.twitter.com\/arf4weO1Hv<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Boba Fett Fan Club (@bobafettfanclub) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/bobafettfanclub\/status\/1198092050756849666?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">November 23, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>On the same day, Vanity Fair ran an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanityfair.com\/hollywood\/2019\/11\/the-mandalorian-episode-three-recap\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">episode recap<\/a> with the following commentary:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>[T]he credits reveal that this new character is named Paz Vizla\u2014a slightly different spelling of the last name (perhaps a mistake?) but too close to be coincidence.
