Dr. Penn Pershing, Omid Abtahi at ICCC 2026!

The Imperial Commissary Collectors Convention is proud to welcome Omid Abtahi — the actor who brought the mysterious Dr. Penn Pershing to life in The Mandalorian!

Fans of Star Wars know Pershing as the brilliant but conflicted scientist entangled in the secrets of the Empire and the experiments surrounding Grogu (a.k.a. Baby Yoda). From the very first episode, Abtahi’s layered performance made Pershing a standout character in the MandoVerse — walking the fine line between redemption and loyalty to the remnants of the Empire. His role added intrigue, suspense, and unforgettable moments to one of the most beloved Star Wars series of all time.

But Omid’s journey through the galaxy far, far away doesn’t stop there. Beyond The Mandalorian, he has continued to expand his mark on the franchise, earning a special place among fans for his contributions to modern Star Wars storytelling.

Of course, Abtahi’s career spans much more than Star Wars, with credits in American Gods, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2, and hit series like Homeland and Better Call Saul. But at ICCC 2026, it’s his Star Wars legacy that will take center stage!

✨ Meet Omid Abtahi in person — hear the behind-the-scenes stories, get your Mandalorian memorabilia signed, and join us as we celebrate one of the key figures of the New Republic era.
