The character's first name was not revealed until the second season of The Mandalorian. He uses two blaster pistols, as well as a third blaster controlled by a droid arm attached to his backpack, which he can extract and retract as necessary for additional firepower. Migs Mayfeld is a former sharpshooter from the Galactic Empire, which has fallen out of power by the time that The Mandalorian is set. Burr received a significant amount of mock outrage from fans for a scene in " Chapter 6: The Prisoner", in which he dropped Grogu, the show's hugely popular breakout character. Mayfeld received a more positive response for his appearance in the second season episode " Chapter 15: The Believer", which explored his character in more depth.

Reviewers critical of Mayfeld felt the character was flat, underdeveloped, or too incompetent as a mercenary.


The character of Mayfeld received a generally positive response from reviewers, with many complimenting Burr's performance and the humor the character brought to the series. Burr was extremely impressed with the filming of The Mandalorian, complimenting the technical aspects of filming as well as the writing style of the series. Several reviewers have noted that Mayfeld's sardonic personality and hard-edged sense of humor is similar to Burr's real-life comedic style. The Mandalorian creator Jon Favreau offered the part to Burr, believing his past criticism of the franchise would make his casting that much more amusing. Mayfeld is portrayed by actor and comedian Bill Burr, who was not a fan of Star Wars and repeatedly mocked the franchise and its fans before he accepted the role. As a result, the character evolves from a minor antagonist to a viable ally of the Mandalorian, with whom he eventually makes amends during their mission. The Mandalorian outsmarts him, resulting in Mayfeld's arrest and imprisonment, though he is later released so that he can aid the Mandalorian's efforts to rescue Grogu. His team includes the show's protagonist, " The Mandalorian", with whom he repeatedly clashes and ultimately betrays.

He is a former Imperial sharpshooter turned mercenary who leads a crew in an attempt to rescue a prisoner from a New Republic prison transport ship. Migs Mayfeld is a fictional character in the Star Wars franchise who appears in the Disney+ television series The Mandalorian.
