The child, Grogu. Or as we used to call him, Baby Yoda. He looks like Yoda, even has the same powers. But this connection between series was not to be. We were wrong! The Child isn’t young Yoda!
You see, it all started with me and my dad watching season two, episode one of The Mandalorian on Disney+. In this episode, the Mandalorian gets information telling him there are more of his own kind (Madalorians) on this desert-like planet. He goes to a town, where he sees someone who is wearing armor that looks like his, but the person he sees is actually not a Mandalorian! The guy he meets explains that he uses the armor to protect the people of the town, kind of like a sheriff. The Mandalorian demands that he tell him where he got the armor, and the sheriff begins his story.
Now this is the part that caught my attention, because the sheriff with the Mandalorian armor begins his story by saying he was celebrating the destruction of the second Death Star. I was shocked to hear this, because until then I was convinced that all of this was going on way before the first Star Wars movies. For those of you who don’t know, Luke Skywalker was trained by Master Yoda (aka the real one) after he blew up the first Death Star. The training was also before the second Death Star was destroyed. As you can see, the timelines don’t add up. So called “Baby Yoda” would have needed to be much older by now if he was really Master Yoda. Some more evidence to support this fact is that in season 2, episode 4, a jedi tells the Mandalorian the Child’s real name. It’s Grogu. (I nearly burst out laughing. Grogu? Really?)
This means that there is no longer any Baby Yoda association, there is only The Child… or (*amused snort*) Grogu.
