In “The Jedi,” Jedi Ahsoka Tano, played by Rosario Dawson, uncovered some unknown details about Grogu’s past life.
“He was raised at the Jedi Temple in Coruscant. Many masters trained him over the years. At the end of the Clone Wars, when the Empire rose to power, he was hidden. Someone took him from the temple. Then his memory becomes…dark. He seemed lost. Alone. I’ve only known one other being like this. A wise Jedi master named Yoda.”
Naturally, the details have caused a slew of new questions about the character to emerge. More importantly, however, The Mandalorian fans have a lot of thoughts about Baby Yoda’s real name.
While some are ecstatic to finally learn the detail, others don’t plan on calling him anything other than Baby Yoda. Why? Well, many think the name fits him better while others just can’t seem to part with it.
