As soon as his big bat-ears and tiny little head popped out of his floating crib, fans immediately began speculating about his identity and import. The Mandalorian has thus far doled out precious few clues as to the true nature of The Child, as he is referred to within the show. He’s first introduced during the closing moments of the pilot, revealed to be the bounty that our eponymous bounty hunter hero, the equally mysterious Mandalorian (or Mando, as he’s known to friends), was hired to collect, dead or alive. Aside from its gender, we know only that The Child is 50 years old (his species has an exceptionally long lifespan, as first noted in Return of the Jedi when Yoda reveals he’s been alive for 900 years), and that, like the other members of his species we’ve been introduced to in past films, he is Force sensitive.

Part of the reason the big reveal in the series premiere is so remarkable is that Lucas has long advocated for keeping Yoda’s species secret. When everything in Star Warsis explained, the universe feels big, but it can also feel rote. The Yoda species remains an element that cannot be canonized, cannot be commodified. It gestures at Star Wars’ fantasy influences while not going so far as to outright explain the motivation behind the gesture. a b c d e f g h Foy, Peter (December 21, 2019).

In " Chapter 20: The Foundling", Grogu trains with fellow foundling Ragnar Vizsla (Wesley Kimmel) until Ragnar is captured by a large winged Raptor. While the Mandalorian, Bo-Katan, and Ragnar's father Paz (Jon Favreau) leave to rescue him, Grogu joins the Armorer at the Forge, where she teaches him Mandalorian culture and forges him a beskar rondel. The Forge triggers more of Grogu's memories of the Great Jedi Purge, revealing that he escaped Coruscant with the help of Jedi Master Kelleran Beq ( Ahmed Best) and sympathetic members of the Naboo Armed Forces.Hough, Q.V.

Speaking of movies: while it’s inevitable that The Rise of Skywalker will do massive box office (the presale numbers having already eclipsed previous franchise records), any worries stemming from the divisive fan response to The Last Jedi or the overall disappointment of Solo can probably be discarded now that Baby Yoda and The Mandalorian have got audiences clamoring for all things Star Wars once more. There’s no telling if the film can best Avengers: Endgame or Avatar (the previous all-time box office record holders, not adjusting for inflation – neither superheroes, Skywalkers nor Na’vi have proved any match for Scarlett O’Hara on that score), although considering all three properties belong to Disney, what could it possibly matter? In " Chapter 21: The Pirate" and " Chapter 22: Guns for Hire", Grogu tags along as Bo-Katan and the Mandalorian bring together their respective tribes. In " Chapter 23: The Spies", Grogu is given IG-12, a human-sized mecha made from the remains of IG-11, which he uses both to walk and to speak, although he can use only the words "Yes" and "No". When a quarrel breaks out between two Mandalorians from different tribes as they cross the ruined surface of Mandalore, Grogu intervenes to calm tensions and restore the peace.
