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.

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.

Retrieved December 9, 2019. Caitlin Gallagher of Bustle suggested rather than building toward Grogu becoming evil, the show could be suggesting the Mandalorian needs to find a way to raise Grogu in a less violent environment. [72] All season long, Grogu has witnessed those around him committing violent acts. [127] [72] For example, Vulture writer Keith Phipps noticed that when IG-11 kills multiple stormtroopers in front of him, Grogu has a "look of wonder" in his eyes, which Phipps said "is hilarious, but also a little chilling". [48] Some writers applied a nature versus nurture argument to this, contending Grogu is becoming violent because of what he is learning based on the actions around him. [72] This suggests Grogu is not inherently good or evil, [127] [71] but that instead, like all children, he is impressionable and does not fully understand the events occurring around him. He is learning about life and needs guidance as he develops his abilities. [126] [127] This is why he uses Force powers generally associated with both the light and dark sides of the Force. [71] It will largely fall to the Mandalorian to provide this guidance, [126] as when the Mandalorian stops him from strangling Cara.

Grogu appears in the sixth episode, " Chapter 6: From the Desert Comes a Stranger", of the spin-off series The Book of Boba Fett. While training with Luke, he helps Grogu remember some of his past, including his home at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant and the events of the Great Jedi Purge. The Mandalorian comes to visit Grogu, but decides against it after speaking with Ahsoka Tano, not wanting to hinder his training; however, he gives Ahsoka a gift to deliver to Grogu: beskar chain mail forged by the Armorer. Ahsoka gives the chain mail to Luke, who confesses that he is unsure whether Grogu is fully committed to the Jedi path and that he does not know how to handle the matter. Following Ahsoka's advice to listen to his instincts, Luke decides to let Grogu choose his destiny by asking him to choose between the chain mail and the lightsaber of his old master, Yoda. [59] As noted earlier, the true impact of Baby Yoda speaks first and foremost to the hard work and creativity of The Mandalorian’s ace design and effects team. Very few purely digital creations have inspired such widespread and immediate visceral reaction and emotional attachment. Hopefully, the character’s popularity will lead to a greater investment in, and emphasis on, practical effects in large budget studio productions. If that ends up being the real legacy of Baby Yoda, it’s a fair trade-off for oversaturation. Crouse, Megan (December 27, 2019). "Star Wars: The Mandalorian – Baby Yoda Explained". Den of Geek.
