So cute, so interesting, so compelling. So familiar and yet so new." [5] Favreau has clarified that Grogu is not a younger version of Yoda himself, [10] [11] [74] but has declined to comment upon whether he is related to Yoda or otherwise connected to him. [11] Development [ edit ] All we know at this point is that Yoda and Grogu are a part of the same species. That said, we've only seen one other member of their species prior — Yaddle, a female who appeared in Episode I: The Phantom Menace and Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi. Disney made it official: We can talk about that Mandalorian character now by Kuchera, Ben on Polygon ( November 18, 2019) (archived from the original on November 19, 2019)The relationship between the Mandalorian and Grogu is an example of unexpected fatherhood. [118] [124] The Mandalorian feels a connection and parental bond with Grogu because of his own childhood, when he was orphaned upon the death of his parents and was adopted by the Mandalorian culture as a "foundling". [118] Nevertheless, fatherhood was not a role the Mandalorian was initially seeking, and he makes repeated initial attempts to avoid this responsibility. He first does so in "Chapter 3: The Sin", when he leaves Grogu with the Client, [124] and then again in "Chapter 4: Sanctuary", when he plans to leave Grogu with Omera, a protective mother on the planet Sorgan who is willing to take Grogu into her own family. The Mandalorian does not fully commit to the role of fatherhood until the first-season finale, "Chapter 8: Redemption" when Grogu himself is also adopted into the Mandalorian culture as a "foundling" and the Mandalorian is formally declared to be his father figure. [118] The Mon Calamari hired to repair the Razor Crest did a less-than-perfect job. At Djarin's instruction, Grogu tried his best to help with the ship's maintenance, only to electrocute himself by crossing two wrong wires. Taking a break from maintenance work Djarin served himself and Grogu some soup. Afterwards, Djarin decided to stop at Nevarro for some proper repairs and set a course for the planet. [26]

Vulture writer Madison Malone Kircher described Grogu as an example of a character so popular that his fame nearly eclipsed that of his own franchise, comparing him to Baby Groot from the Guardians of the Galaxy films. [63] The Guardian writer Zach Vasquez noted past Star Wars works had featured young characters that have not resonated as strongly as Grogu, so he credited his success with the character's designers and special effects. [4] Likewise, Robyn Bahr of The Hollywood Reporter said the positive response to Grogu, along with that of the show The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance, demonstrate that audiences still desire puppetry, animatronics, and practical effects rather than only CGI. Bahr wrote: "If Baby Yoda were entirely 3D animation, he wouldn't have become an icon the minute we laid our eyes on him." [64] Anderton, Ethan (April 14, 2019).

What's Grogu's status at the start of The Mandalorian season 3? Zen – Grogu and Dust Bunnies" features Grogu, who is fifty during The Mandalorian, which takes place in 9 ABY per the reasoning here. Therefore, Grogu was born in 41 BBY, and "Zen – Grogu and Dust Bunnies" takes place at some point no earlier than that year. a b c d Spencer, Samuel (December 2, 2019).
