I dont think Palpatine or anakin/vader knew about grogu. Knowing yodas strength, they would have surely wanted grogu eliminated. To ensure that there wasn't two of yodas species in existence after the empires rise. The fact that he was kept away from the other younglings, shows his importance and secrecy.
…what if Grogu was originally viewed as the chosen one by the Council, and that’s why when Anakin showed up it drastically changed their opinions. That would explain why Grogu was kept under close watch and why they were the same age
Seeing how quick and efficient Grogu’s escape was, I think the Jedi must have had an escape plan. That would suggest that the Jedi protecting him were in fact a security detail. Because no one was expecting the attack on the temple, they would’ve had a just-in-case plan.
@@Fuzzmo147 That one sentence is big. I wonder who was supposed to escape. The female Jedi that died in the elevator with Grogu also says "Get him to Kelleran!" which means the escape plan included Beq. At this point in time the Council does suspect that at the very least Palps has some sort of dealings with the secret Sith Lord. I imagine suspecting that would motivate them to make an escape plan, I just find it weird how they went with Naboo seeing as that's Palps homeworld too. I know Padme was doing something politically with Bail and Mon to try and remove Palps from power so that's likely where the connection is being drawn rather then SIdious but I like to think part of this contingency was working with Jar Jar and the Gungans rather then Padme I hope Palps had nothing to do with this and it is Jar Jar or Padme. Would be a massive slap to Palps to find out his Homeworld aided in securing the one asset he would have really wanted out of the Temple (something connected to the Grand Master himself as they're both the same species)
@@patrickbarnes9462 well, the attack was unexpected. While they definitely pulled one too many close calls, and lost basically all their lives, everything still played out with a coordination that felt like protocol, not instinct.
@@patrickbarnes9462 they were literally overwhelmed with numbers with the attack on the temple happened. Those that were not deployed for the current war were trapped inside the temple when it was besieged from all sides by hundreds of troopers. Realistically unless they had anticipated and evacuated prior there was little they could do given the numbers while being surrounded. While more troopers could easily pour into the temple there wasn't anyone coming to save the Jedi, and any stragglers were picked off by Vader. The fact anyone escaped was nothing short of a miracle.
@@nickyson4life My two cents: after the bombing of the Temple and knowing there was a Sith Lord around, the Jedi implemented an evacuation protocol for the younglings, and it definitely involved someone from the Senate, perhaps even Naboo specifically. Of course, a betrayal by one of their own and full-fledged attack by hundreds of clones with no warning was something they did not really prepare for. Perhaps Beq was supposed to "save the younglings" but since most younglings were caught off-guard during their lessons, only Grogu (the most powerful of all the younglings) could be saved.
Maybe there is a Ancient Pact between Yoda´s Species and the Jedi: that at least 2 to 3 are always in the Order. Grogu could be the "replacement" for Yoda (since in "Revenge of the Sith" he was already very Old) when he would die. Since Grogu is very Young and can live very long it could be possible
He was saved and kept secret because him being one of Yoda's species means he has the potential to nurture and raise many generations of Jedi as Yoda did as the Grandmaster.
Yup because of his long age span. Luke even told Grogu “It will take you many years to master the ways of the Force, and you may never see the Mandalorian again because, Grogu, a short time for you is a lifetime for someone else” If it takes him a normal human lifetime just to become a Jedi master imagine what Grogu could accomplish in his entire life time
Sidious had Anakin kill the younglings to turn him more into the dark side and prove his loyalty. By committing something so atrocious, Anakin would have no forgiveness by people who knew him doing the act and make him closer to dependency to Sidious.
He wasnt the only youngling to escape. There were several escapees, they were just captured shortly after and likely tortured either to death, or to make them inquisitors. If they werent put in that weird hall in the fortress inquisitorius that we saw in Kenobi
@@auusstty Most of the kids that survived may have actually been young padawans, who survived in part because they were protected by their masters, like Kanan Jarrus
“It will take you many years to master the ways of the Force, and you may never see the Mandalorian again because, Grogu, a short time for you is a lifetime for someone else.” We need adult prime Grogu one day in a movie
Interesting thought on the age thing with Vader and Grogu. Could it be that the reason why the council didn't want Anakin trained originally is because they had already encountered Grogu and Yoda personally believed that he was the chosen one to bring balance to the force? Could it be that when Grogu was bron Anakin was born as well by the force to create a balance between what would be good and what would be dark. So many possibilities to explore with that one. Thank you. 😂
I think it likely he wasn't with the other younglings because developmentally he was Too young. Like, at 50 he's about 2 equivalent. 30 years prior, he was still very much a Baby. And there was a line in there that should be noted- the Naboo guards were expecting him to get more younglings out, so I don't think it was a "get grogu in particular out at all costs". He was just the only one they Could get out.
I mean Kal survived and Kanan as well. Grogu was literally a baby so typically you put them in a nursery and not a training room with the other older younglings. Coruscant is huge so there are way too many younglings Vader wouldn’t be able to account for.
and honestly Vader would be there all day killing kids if he personally killed them all. i am sure the clones gunned downs and incinerated tons of them. Its a big temple, over a kilometer higher than the surrounding buildings, but also hundred of sub floor deep. the main body of the temple was a kilometer squared
@Cloud Boka neither one of them was at the temple. And they weren't younglings, they were padawans. A good amount of padawans survived the purge because of their masters.
I know, right! Really makes a mockery of Anakin Skywalker's status as the most powerful Force user in the Star Wars universe. Force users CAN use Force Stealth, but, come on. The only one to pull it off within a hundred yard radius was none other than Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi.
After watching your analysis, I feel like Grogu is "resetting" the Jedi Code/Light side. It's no secret to anyone the order was broken before 66, which is why 66 is so key in the current shows. I'm sure the council, or maybe even only Yoda and Yaddle knew about Grogu's importance for the future. Great video!
Grogu is totally going to use dark side force powers regularly. He's not being raised evil, and he's a "yoda's species," so it stands to reason that Grogu will not become a dark being by doing so. But a being that simply will not hesitate to use dark side abilities if he sees the need for it. Side question actually directly related to the title; haven't we already seen a few younglings in Obi-Wan (Reva) and Bad Batch and possibly some of these other shows? Or were they all padawans?
I think that being a Mando Grogu does not have to adhere to convention where jedi are saintly and sith are saddistic.For Grogu there simply is the force.The hint is the eggs,Grogu ate the eggs but when he saw the tadpole he bonded with it.He will use light and dark powers but will not be defined by them.
This is an interesting vision Padawan. Your foresight is strong, but your interruptation is yet to be proven. I fear the future is clouded by the Dark Side.
@@spinelessmoderate8715 just something else that occoured to me.there is a bits about Grogu not being trainable by JEDI.its possable that Luke's obserevation of Grogu let him see this allowing him to give Grogu a choice that others could never have.yaddle uses a force scan power that if not controlled can kill and Yoda simply refuses to weild dark powers.the key to Grogu's importance is not the power but the diversity of the force shown by his kin.people ask who trained Grogu but i would say who showed Grogu the force.People learn from Grogu as much as they teach him.take the darts,Mando only said how to fire and his opponent stood still and shoots solo rounds.
Maybe Grogu was kept separate to protect the other youngling from him? He was just a baby and might have accidentally hurt humans when got upset? Also possible that he was just in a nursery or happened to be going to his room or somewhere else when the attack happened. Or he was a secret
I think it’s funny that we’ve seen the Anakin vs. younglings memes for years, and Hayden’s return as Anakin makes a point to add more fuel to the memes 😂😂
When they got to the ship, the Naboo guards asked if there were more who had escaped. Kelleran said they’re the only ones who made it implying there were more they wanted to save.
I have thought of yoda species as being a born through the force species since the clone wars show. Idk why but it is what always made sense to me. Because time doesnt mean the same thing to them, who isnt to say that grogu is not the younger brother of yoda?
Grogu was probably separated from the others because of his age. The fact that he’s already 50yrs old and needs much more attention, time and energy to be properly trained
Weird idea: perhaps Grogu, even at that young age, was dealing with some sadness over seeing fellow younglings whom he had known grow up while he stayed young.
I think grogu was kept by himself due to harm that could have come to him. Due to his power and age & inability to control any powers he had. I think we have to also assume that grogu is of course yoda’s and yaddles.
I always took the youngling slaughter as means to an end to reach the depths of the Darkside as quick as possible. Anakin was drunk on power and chasing the white dragon for more. Ended up killing children, Padme, and almost his own children.
(Spoilers on Jedi fallen order and Obi-wan) Well grogu wasn’t the only youngling to survive. I assume this because 1 we know of others and 2 I’m pretty sure Kal wasn’t the only young padawan that wasn’t being trained on Coruscant. From the flash backs in game, and if we use Clone wars as an example as well, some youngling padawans seemed to be trained on war ships. Yes technically they weren’t younglings anymore because they were starting padawan training but still they were young. But now also knowing that Reva survived who’s to say that other children didn’t do the same and or were able to make it out of the temple and live underground and in hiding like other jedi? Which is the main reason why Inquisitors were so important because there were still many younglings/panadwans that could have survived the purge. As for Grogu, I think that yes he was separated because of his race. Mostly due to his age as he was still considered a baby. But also that if fallen into the wrong hands Grogu could be killed and or twisted into something awful. Especially knowing that if Yoda had turned it to the dark it would have been devastating. Imagine if Grogu was turned to the dark side. With how strong he is now as just a child within his race. It could have been detrimental to the galaxy. And since the council obviously knew a sith was behind everything keeping Grogu a secret from EVERYONE would have been the only way to keep him safe. But his mind going dark does make me wonder that perhaps he was stored in carbonate like others were saying or something like that. Maybe a deep sleep meditation? Where he was cut off from the world/the force and protected till imperial forces found him? Either way I’m excited to learn more about our little friend.
The force always tries to find balance. Maybe the force knew Anakin would turn to the dark side eventually and so Grogu was born the same year, knowing he would be more of a light side force user, for balance? 🤷🏼♀️ The force works in mysterious ways.
Another reason could be... As jedi saw Anakin as the chosen one... But, what they might have failed to see is that Anakin might be chosen one by the dark side of force. While Grogu could be the chosen one of the light side of the light side of the force.
I am soo happy they gave Ahmed Best another character to play after all the Jar Jar BS. Jar Jar was a character he was hired to play, he didnt deserve the hate he got. Be mad at Lucas for inventing Jar Jar. Now, good episode, I enjoyed it, carry on.
Probably a combo of the fact he was literally a baby and couldn't defend himself at all, and the only one they knew could be as powerful as yoda,, as far as they knew no one but another Yoda could be that powerful
As cool as that scene with Kelloran Beq was, one thing that bugged me was despite being so skilled as to take out dozens of Clone Troopers with ease and escape with Grogu, he didn't bother to try and save anyone else. Sure, maybe it would have been risky to go deeper into the temple and be overwhelmed by Clones or even Vader, but I would have liked to see him at least TRY. I[m sure a young Reva would have appreciated his help. I also wonder if Kelloran saw Anakin slaughtering the other younglings and thus knows Vader's true identity. If he survived Order 66 and went into hiding after taking Grogu somewhere safe, I wonder if he'll show up again in Kenobi Season 2. Another thought occurred to me... In Empire Strikes Back, as Luke takes off in his X-Wing to rescue Han and Leia, Obi Wan's Force Ghost says "That boy was our last hope." And Yoda replies "No...there is another." Originally this "other" was meant to be Leia...but I wonder if Yoda might have ALSO been thinking about Grogu in that moment. Sure, Grogu was too young to fight Vader and Sidious, but he still represents a future for the Jedi since his species is so long-lived.
Chapter 20 was great even though it was so short it explains a lot in the star wars universe that we didn't know or understand the only thing I found disappointing was the armorer not believing bo gatan about the mythisour and not really giving her advice on it.
I got a quite odd theory about the species it self, like there can only ever be 2 or 3 of them at once, no more no less, so if one dies, a new starts instantly, but this new one has the knowledge of the one who died, this meen Grogu most likely have the knowledge of Yaddle but not yoda, this would also meens that when this all his happening, there is one other out there somewhere also, who most likely have the knowledge of yoda
I think it's reasonable to say at this point, considering the measures and sacrifices the Jedi took to save Grogu, that he is the most important individual to the future of the Jedi post Rise of Skywalker.
I did enjoy the fountain it was really cool to finally get some solid answers on how Grogu survived operation nightfall they probably kept Grogu apart from the other Youngpigs because he was so strong with the force and then for another yougling made him mad they probably didn’t I want Grogu to accidentally injured or kill them
He was 50 and was still a child. If he was put with younglins, then by the time he graduated those same younglins would of grown old and died. It wouldn't of been practical to be trained with them as he's training would of been much slower then that of a human. He might even of out lived he's master before he's training was complete
I suspect that various people wanted him saved. All the signs are that there were various people at work (good, bad, pragmatic) who wanted his DNA and this has already been a big feature of the Mandalorian plot previously. I imagine they will use Grogu's escape as a means to bring in other villains etc. who were a bit more sophisticated/nuanced than those we saw in the prequels. Presently, there is no real sense of peril in Mando and I am sure they will start to build this back into the story ...
Grogu is yodas son (he is his spiritual successor if not directly, Yoda was originally designed as a meeting of the minds of the greater will like a boddhistava or something and not a species) but biologically probably asexual and lay a egg or something which is why he launches the assault on Vader and Sidious so his son can escape (his child would not be kept among the other younglings who were in training since youth but I imagine yodas species would be masters since birth)
Some observations: - if Grogu was born around the same time as Anakin, this could be a way for writers to turn Grogu into “the chosen one” as opposed to Anakin or Rey carrying that title. Who knows? - Obviously this wasn’t part of George Lucas’ story, but with Grogu in the mix now, it could be Sidious told Anakin to kill the younglings cause Sidious wanted Grogu dead specifically and only thought Anakin was up to the task. He didn’t specify it, Anakin said he took care of it and Sidious thought that meant Grogu too. Sidious could have feared Grogu. This is great material for writers to work with.
Grogu may have been so strong in Force when he was born, Yoda's people may have contacted him in secret to examine the Child. Yoda probably saw in the Force that Grogu had a great destiny with Jedi along with Galaxy at large and that it was the will of Force. But also saw that Grogu would be endanger as a youngling. So Yoda decided to have Grogu brought to the Jedi Temple to safe, sequestered and trained in secret. With a group of Jedi teachers/protectors around him at all times. Though Jedi were not prepared for Order 66, the preparations already made for Grogu probably helped save him. Even if his Jedi protectors didn't see the threat coming until it was right on top of them.
Simply put. To have Grogu in the show. They had to explain how he survived 66. So they wrote this into the story. I always thought Anakin killing the younglings was ordered to further indoctrinate Anakin further towards the Darkside. If he’s given a task that is too horrific to be forgiven he would be more likely to continue down a dark path rather then resist. Many cults have implored a similar tactic.
Well, we know that 1) At some point the Empire is going to capture Grogu (Pershing has already done test on him) and 2) Someone rescued him from the empire which is why the empire hired Din Djarin.....and every single bounty hunter.
I think there must be something special about Grogu although the security detail was expecting more padawans, maybe they sent Ahmed best to rescue the infants but Grogu was the only one left.
Completely agree. Sidious and Vader targeted younglings because they WERE threat to the Empire. Imagine some of those younglings leading rebellions or joining Rebellion. Yes,by killing younglings Anakin went deep into dark side,extremely deep. It's what Sidious. Anakin full into dark side,using full power. He would completely depend of Sidious
If I'm going off the films... I'd say it was Palpatine and he somehow got a Jedi to.switch sides or tricked him into doing it. Knowing he would need samples from an especially long living being with force abilities. (But who's to say Grogu isn't a clone of Yoda?) His species seems to be very unique (as noone has met a non force sensitive one and most their likely extinct. Palpatine played both sides in everything. Yea Vader & S.k started the Rebel Alliance but I'm sure it was Palpatines plan or idea.
Grugu's parents must be Yaddle and Yoda. Keep in mind, she had left the Jedi council prior to the Clone Wars. Yoda was the most powerful of all the Jedi, while Mace Windu was the only Jedi that could never be beaten in single combat.
In the episode, it's lucky the flying thing decided to wait and let everyone camp out under her nest before feeding the kid to her young the next morning.
Weird thing I just thought of, if grogu and Anakin are around the same age. And Darth Sidious helped create Anakin for dark side purposes. Maybe the Jedi helped make Grogu for their own purposes. Maybe that’s why they were so doubtful that Skywalker was the chosen one. Idk, just a theory.
Hold up. Just thought about it, in that time of the galaxy (birth of Anakin) the Force was being balanced by the father. If the Jedi were to get a chosen one, maybe the sith got a powerful user as well to offset the Jedi. Of course there are holes to this theory. The chosen one was a Jedi prophecy after all.
@@longshotfilms1 the chosen one is not just a Jedi prophecy, the father son & daughter have no affiliation with the Jedi order, and the father himself confirmed that Anakin was the chosen one. That prophecy came from the Wills and got passed down, but it’s not strictly a Jedi prophecy
Well, if you isolate Grogu and ask him if he wants to be a Jedi, he's not going to say no..........because of the implication. I mean, if he says no then obviously the answer is no, but he's not going to say no......because of the implication. #IASIP
I love it how this contributes to the Sith Lord Jar Jar theory. Darth Jar jar would gladly assist Sidious in destroying the Jedi but would not let Sidious getting his hands on a powerful creature as Grogu.
A common trope among sci-fi is that the longer species lives the slower they reproduce. It's possible the Yoda species has a very small population due to their longevit, if that's the case Yoda and yaddle keeping him a secret regardless of their potential relationship would make perfect sense. It would also explain why so many Jedi we're protecting him. Just my personal head canon, but food for thought nonetheless.
So much here to discuss! At 7:12, the illustration of Lord Vader with a young Anakin Skywalker's (Hayden Christensen) face is erroneous: the duel at Mustafar against his master had disfigured him horribly, which this distortion evidently seeks to negate.
The Grogu stuff was interesting and moving, I kinda teared up a little when the armorer put that rondel on him. But... I'm getting a little tired of those monster fights. Another poor creature gets whacked for following its natural impulses to feed and protect its young... but hey, its babies get to be foundlings in the tribe of their mother's killers, so hurrah. Seriously though, what do the creatures on that planet eat when they can't get Mandalorian. The whole place looks arid and mostly lifeless. Just like Obi-Wan in _A New Hope,_ this show is starting to make me feel "too old for this sort of thing". I often find myself wanting to enjoy it, but unable to ignore the silliness. I mean come on, the Ragnar kid is still alive after a night with all the rescuers camping out at the foot of the cliifs? And the helmets-on rule gets harder and harder to take seriously. I was actually thankful the armorer wasn't making a little one for Grogu.
I don't think sidious saw them as a threat as much as he wanted him and Anakin to feed off all that dark force he would get from doing something so terrible. He even says go now to the Jedi temple, leave none alive only then will you be powerful enough to save padme..
He happened to be at the right place at the right time. I do agree it would have been nice if they could have saved more Younglings, but given all the chaos, it was probably best not to take too many chances...
Ummm other younglings survived too; see Cal Kestis. As for Grogu, he was protected more as he/his genetic material could be used to create a vessel for Palpatine, capable of containing his massive force energy…unlike Snoke and the various failed clones
Vader killing the young Jedi was supposed to cement him to the dark side as an unforgivable act, the Jedi would never take him back or forgive him. But motives matter and palpatine miscalculated anakins heart. Anakin viewed it largely as a mercy killing. They would have been tortured and killed worse off by the empire. Or turned to sith and forced to fight each other. And his confidence in the Jedi had just been shattered. He was saving them from being miserable Jedis like he was. And he was temporarily insane from his grief with padme. Life is pain sort of thing. He was sparing them from life. This is how even years later luke sensed some good in Vader still. Even after this horrible crime and more obtrocities later.
Ok, so if Anakin was created by manipulating midichlorians, what if Grogu is created by The Force as a balance? Longer lived and able to restore light long after Vader is dead? And what if that’s why there are so few of Yoda’s species… if they’re only created by the Force to counter Sith moments of strength?
I believe it's not that many of Yoda species like they are considered endangered so that's why they should be protected and they are most powerful. Also, I think they are the embodiment of mediclorians like Immaculate Conception but without a being giving birth to them.
The fact that Anakin and Grogu are the same age can't really have too much of an implication seeing that Anakin is dead. It's obvious that Grogu will have a big role in the future of star wars as to what we can only speculate but Anakin has been dead for what, 31 years at this point so I can't imagine how they could be connected in any way. All this lore taking us back to order 66 seems to just be a way to show how Grogu made it out alive and to make him relevant in his role with whatever comes next. But star wars future being centered around Yoda's species sounds pretty interesting. Maybe delve further into why his species from what we've seen so far seem to be very force sensitive and maybe even piggyback that to dive further into what the force actually is bringing the potential of god-like beings into canon like Abeloth. Although knowing star wars the next step will have Grogu becoming the next Vader and Rey becoming the new Luke or vice versa which I really hope is not the case. Seeing more legends lore become canon though would be amazing too.
This is why Grogu becoming a Mandolorian vs a Jedi makes no sense. I get it that Grogu likes Mando and they are like a Father-Son bond. But think of where we are in the SW Universe: Jedis are scarce, the Empire is still out there, and Luke knows of Grogu is of the same species of the Great Yoda. The potential Grogu has for the Jedi and the light side is ENORMOUS, and with his longevity he has the most crucial role in proliferating the light side and making sure the Dark Side does not come back. And yet, Luke let’s him join a ragtag group of mercernaries. I think it is the STUPIDEST writing and I don’t like complaining but the more I see Grogu following the Mando path…it just feels wrong. The show is becoming so wish-fulfilment, which is fine, but really strays from some of the “believable logic” and edge of the first two seasons.
When a Force-Sensitive being can live 900 years it ensures the survival of the Jedi Order.

“It will take you many years to master the ways of the Force, and you may never see the Mandalorian again because, Grogu, a short time for you is a lifetime for someone else.”
We need adult prime Grogu one day in a movie
Interesting thought on the age thing with Vader and Grogu. Could it be that the reason why the council didn't want Anakin trained originally is because they had already encountered Grogu and Yoda personally believed that he was the chosen one to bring balance to the force? Could it be that when Grogu was bron Anakin was born as well by the force to create a balance between what would be good and what would be dark. So many possibilities to explore with that one. Thank you. 😂
I think it likely he wasn't with the other younglings because developmentally he was Too young. Like, at 50 he's about 2 equivalent. 30 years prior, he was still very much a Baby.
And there was a line in there that should be noted- the Naboo guards were expecting him to get more younglings out, so I don't think it was a "get grogu in particular out at all costs". He was just the only one they Could get out.
I mean Kal survived and Kanan as well. Grogu was literally a baby so typically you put them in a nursery and not a training room with the other older younglings. Coruscant is huge so there are way too many younglings Vader wouldn’t be able to account for.
and honestly Vader would be there all day killing kids if he personally killed them all. i am sure the clones gunned downs and incinerated tons of them. Its a big temple, over a kilometer higher than the surrounding buildings, but also hundred of sub floor deep. the main body of the temple was a kilometer squared
@Cloud Boka neither one of them was at the temple. And they weren't younglings, they were padawans. A good amount of padawans survived the purge because of their masters.
True but kanan and kal were both off world when order 66 took place, if they were at the temple they probably wouldn't have made it
Kal and kanan weren’t younglings. They were padawans. Two different things
Simple, you see he has something even better than the beskar chainmail. He has plot armor!
Wrong
@@cruzinthruspace shill
Not plot armor because it's yoda spices don't kill yoda people unless epic fight that know either die at end close one
I know, right! Really makes a mockery of Anakin Skywalker's status as the most powerful Force user in the Star Wars universe. Force users CAN use Force Stealth, but, come on. The only one to pull it off within a hundred yard radius was none other than Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Incredibly rare species
After watching your analysis, I feel like Grogu is "resetting" the Jedi Code/Light side.
It's no secret to anyone the order was broken before 66, which is why 66 is so key in the current shows.
I'm sure the council, or maybe even only Yoda and Yaddle knew about Grogu's importance for the future. Great video!
Reva survived lightsaber stabbings from Vader twice lmao
Grogu is totally going to use dark side force powers regularly. He's not being raised evil, and he's a "yoda's species," so it stands to reason that Grogu will not become a dark being by doing so. But a being that simply will not hesitate to use dark side abilities if he sees the need for it.
Side question actually directly related to the title; haven't we already seen a few younglings in Obi-Wan (Reva) and Bad Batch and possibly some of these other shows? Or were they all padawans?
Yeah, I'm pretty sure Reva was a youngling during the purge too. I mean she had the special hat and everything.
I think that being a Mando Grogu does not have to adhere to convention where jedi are saintly and sith are saddistic.For Grogu there simply is the force.The hint is the eggs,Grogu ate the eggs but when he saw the tadpole he bonded with it.He will use light and dark powers but will not be defined by them.
@@neildavies6835 I'm in complete agreement with you there. We've seen several hints towards this budding fact.
This is an interesting vision Padawan. Your foresight is strong, but your interruptation is yet to be proven. I fear the future is clouded by the Dark Side.
@@spinelessmoderate8715 just something else that occoured to me.there is a bits about Grogu not being trainable by JEDI.its possable that Luke's obserevation of Grogu let him see this allowing him to give Grogu a choice that others could never have.yaddle uses a force scan power that if not controlled can kill and Yoda simply refuses to weild dark powers.the key to Grogu's importance is not the power but the diversity of the force shown by his kin.people ask who trained Grogu but i would say who showed Grogu the force.People learn from Grogu as much as they teach him.take the darts,Mando only said how to fire and his opponent stood still and shoots solo rounds.
Maybe Grogu was kept separate to protect the other youngling from him? He was just a baby and might have accidentally hurt humans when got upset? Also possible that he was just in a nursery or happened to be going to his room or somewhere else when the attack happened. Or he was a secret
I think it’s funny that we’ve seen the Anakin vs. younglings memes for years, and Hayden’s return as Anakin makes a point to add more fuel to the memes 😂😂
When they got to the ship, the Naboo guards asked if there were more who had escaped. Kelleran said they’re the only ones who made it implying there were more they wanted to save.
I have thought of yoda species as being a born through the force species since the clone wars show. Idk why but it is what always made sense to me. Because time doesnt mean the same thing to them, who isnt to say that grogu is not the younger brother of yoda?
He isn’t the only youngling to survive. Cal survived unless you mean the only youngling to survive in Coruscant
Kal wad a padawan
@@AsvpphennyReva Sevander.
Exactly. Reva survived. Possibly Gungee too. Don’t know where he was tho.
Gungi bro
Was Gungis rank confirmed?
Grogu was probably separated from the others because of his age. The fact that he’s already 50yrs old and needs much more attention, time and energy to be properly trained
yes I think is due very slow rate of growth spot on he be so out of step with clan it just not work out
Weird idea: perhaps Grogu, even at that young age, was dealing with some sadness over seeing fellow younglings whom he had known grow up while he stayed young.
I think grogu was kept by himself due to harm that could have come to him. Due to his power and age & inability to control any powers he had. I think we have to also assume that grogu is of course yoda’s and yaddles.
I don’t believe he’s related
I always took the youngling slaughter as means to an end to reach the depths of the Darkside as quick as possible. Anakin was drunk on power and chasing the white dragon for more. Ended up killing children, Padme, and almost his own children.
It wasn’t because of that
grogu, was the balance the prophecy spoke of.
(Spoilers on Jedi fallen order and Obi-wan)
Well grogu wasn’t the only youngling to survive. I assume this because 1 we know of others and 2 I’m pretty sure Kal wasn’t the only young padawan that wasn’t being trained on Coruscant. From the flash backs in game, and if we use Clone wars as an example as well, some youngling padawans seemed to be trained on war ships. Yes technically they weren’t younglings anymore because they were starting padawan training but still they were young. But now also knowing that Reva survived who’s to say that other children didn’t do the same and or were able to make it out of the temple and live underground and in hiding like other jedi? Which is the main reason why Inquisitors were so important because there were still many younglings/panadwans that could have survived the purge. As for Grogu, I think that yes he was separated because of his race. Mostly due to his age as he was still considered a baby. But also that if fallen into the wrong hands Grogu could be killed and or twisted into something awful. Especially knowing that if Yoda had turned it to the dark it would have been devastating. Imagine if Grogu was turned to the dark side. With how strong he is now as just a child within his race. It could have been detrimental to the galaxy. And since the council obviously knew a sith was behind everything keeping Grogu a secret from EVERYONE would have been the only way to keep him safe. But his mind going dark does make me wonder that perhaps he was stored in carbonate like others were saying or something like that. Maybe a deep sleep meditation? Where he was cut off from the world/the force and protected till imperial forces found him? Either way I’m excited to learn more about our little friend.
The force always tries to find balance. Maybe the force knew Anakin would turn to the dark side eventually and so Grogu was born the same year, knowing he would be more of a light side force user, for balance? 🤷🏼♀️ The force works in mysterious ways.
Another reason could be... As jedi saw Anakin as the chosen one... But, what they might have failed to see is that Anakin might be chosen one by the dark side of force. While Grogu could be the chosen one of the light side of the light side of the force.
If I were Anakin and found out that Yoda was getting it on but told him not to I would be pissed
I am soo happy they gave Ahmed Best another character to play after all the Jar Jar BS. Jar Jar was a character he was hired to play, he didnt deserve the hate he got. Be mad at Lucas for inventing Jar Jar. Now, good episode, I enjoyed it, carry on.
He did a good job too.
Probably a combo of the fact he was literally a baby and couldn't defend himself at all, and the only one they knew could be as powerful as yoda,, as far as they knew no one but another Yoda could be that powerful
Well done. Love your information. Thank you. May the force be with all of you.
As cool as that scene with Kelloran Beq was, one thing that bugged me was despite being so skilled as to take out dozens of Clone Troopers with ease and escape with Grogu, he didn't bother to try and save anyone else. Sure, maybe it would have been risky to go deeper into the temple and be overwhelmed by Clones or even Vader, but I would have liked to see him at least TRY. I[m sure a young Reva would have appreciated his help.
I also wonder if Kelloran saw Anakin slaughtering the other younglings and thus knows Vader's true identity. If he survived Order 66 and went into hiding after taking Grogu somewhere safe, I wonder if he'll show up again in Kenobi Season 2.
Another thought occurred to me... In Empire Strikes Back, as Luke takes off in his X-Wing to rescue Han and Leia, Obi Wan's Force Ghost says "That boy was our last hope." And Yoda replies "No...there is another." Originally this "other" was meant to be Leia...but I wonder if Yoda might have ALSO been thinking about Grogu in that moment. Sure, Grogu was too young to fight Vader and Sidious, but he still represents a future for the Jedi since his species is so long-lived.
Loved the new episode! I can never get enough angles of order 66!
Calling it now: Anakin wasn't the only immaculate conception the Jedi knew about.
This is the way.
Chapter 20 was great even though it was so short it explains a lot in the star wars universe that we didn't know or understand the only thing I found disappointing was the armorer not believing bo gatan about the mythisour and not really giving her advice on it.
The Jedi seemed very prepared to protect grogu, showing how important he was
I like that you said Darth Vader instead of Anakin, showing that he already became Darth Vader, he just hasn’t donned the suit yet.
I got a quite odd theory about the species it self, like there can only ever be 2 or 3 of them at once, no more no less, so if one dies, a new starts instantly, but this new one has the knowledge of the one who died, this meen Grogu most likely have the knowledge of Yaddle but not yoda, this would also meens that when this all his happening, there is one other out there somewhere also, who most likely have the knowledge of yoda
Reva: 🤬The only youngling to...Yo, dog, I'm standing right here!!
I think it's reasonable to say at this point, considering the measures and sacrifices the Jedi took to save Grogu, that he is the most important individual to the future of the Jedi post Rise of Skywalker.
I did enjoy the fountain it was really cool to finally get some solid answers on how Grogu survived operation nightfall they probably kept Grogu apart from the other Youngpigs because he was so strong with the force and then for another yougling made him mad they probably didn’t I want Grogu to accidentally injured or kill them
He was 50 and was still a child. If he was put with younglins, then by the time he graduated those same younglins would of grown old and died. It wouldn't of been practical to be trained with them as he's training would of been much slower then that of a human. He might even of out lived he's master before he's training was complete
I suspect that various people wanted him saved. All the signs are that there were various people at work (good, bad, pragmatic) who wanted his DNA and this has already been a big feature of the Mandalorian plot previously. I imagine they will use Grogu's escape as a means to bring in other villains etc. who were a bit more sophisticated/nuanced than those we saw in the prequels. Presently, there is no real sense of peril in Mando and I am sure they will start to build this back into the story ...
Grogu is yodas son (he is his spiritual successor if not directly, Yoda was originally designed as a meeting of the minds of the greater will like a boddhistava or something and not a species) but biologically probably asexual and lay a egg or something which is why he launches the assault on Vader and Sidious so his son can escape (his child would not be kept among the other younglings who were in training since youth but I imagine yodas species would be masters since birth)
Some observations:
- if Grogu was born around the same time as Anakin, this could be a way for writers to turn Grogu into “the chosen one” as opposed to Anakin or Rey carrying that title. Who knows?
- Obviously this wasn’t part of George Lucas’ story, but with Grogu in the mix now, it could be Sidious told Anakin to kill the younglings cause Sidious wanted Grogu dead specifically and only thought Anakin was up to the task. He didn’t specify it, Anakin said he took care of it and Sidious thought that meant Grogu too. Sidious could have feared Grogu. This is great material for writers to work with.
Grogu may have been so strong in Force when he was born, Yoda's people may have contacted him in secret to examine the Child. Yoda probably saw in the Force that Grogu had a great destiny with Jedi along with Galaxy at large and that it was the will of Force. But also saw that Grogu would be endanger as a youngling. So Yoda decided to have Grogu brought to the Jedi Temple to safe, sequestered and trained in secret. With a group of Jedi teachers/protectors around him at all times. Though Jedi were not prepared for Order 66, the preparations already made for Grogu probably helped save him. Even if his Jedi protectors didn't see the threat coming until it was right on top of them.
Simply put. To have Grogu in the show. They had to explain how he survived 66. So they wrote this into the story. I always thought Anakin killing the younglings was ordered to further indoctrinate Anakin further towards the Darkside. If he’s given a task that is too horrific to be forgiven he would be more likely to continue down a dark path rather then resist. Many cults have implored a similar tactic.
Ah yes, Yaddle, Yoda and Grogu.
Should've been Yaddle, Yoda, and Yogurt for consistency.
Well, we know that 1) At some point the Empire is going to capture Grogu (Pershing has already done test on him) and 2) Someone rescued him from the empire which is why the empire hired Din Djarin.....and every single bounty hunter.
Good stuff.. bro interesting Drogo is a bit of a mystery all around the same with Yoda as to why we never saw other people like them
Yoda+Yaddle=Grogu!!!
Bumping frog uglies! Giggity!
Grogu in the next trilogie is going to be the teacher of a new generation of Jedi. (Mando Jedi) Yoda saw it in a vision and wanted to keep him safe.
I think there must be something special about Grogu although the security detail was expecting more padawans, maybe they sent Ahmed best to rescue the infants but Grogu was the only one left.
Completely agree. Sidious and Vader targeted younglings because they WERE threat to the Empire. Imagine some of those younglings leading rebellions or joining Rebellion. Yes,by killing younglings Anakin went deep into dark side,extremely deep. It's what Sidious. Anakin full into dark side,using full power. He would completely depend of Sidious
If I'm going off the films...
I'd say it was Palpatine and he somehow got a Jedi to.switch sides or tricked him into doing it.
Knowing he would need samples from an especially long living being with force abilities.
(But who's to say Grogu isn't a clone of Yoda?)
His species seems to be very unique (as noone has met a non force sensitive one and most their likely extinct.
Palpatine played both sides in everything. Yea Vader & S.k started the Rebel Alliance but I'm sure it was Palpatines plan or idea.
Grugu's parents must be Yaddle and Yoda. Keep in mind, she had left the Jedi council prior to the Clone Wars. Yoda was the most powerful of all the Jedi, while Mace Windu was the only Jedi that could never be beaten in single combat.
7:32 (Eyes Widen) That's EXTREMELY interesting!!!
In the episode, it's lucky the flying thing decided to wait and let everyone camp out under her nest before feeding the kid to her young the next morning.
Right? Didn’t make any sense really. Still love the show though.
wait wait wait... anakin and grogu are born in the same year? this could have many implications
Thank you for this video.
Nicely done video
Weird thing I just thought of, if grogu and Anakin are around the same age. And Darth Sidious helped create Anakin for dark side purposes. Maybe the Jedi helped make Grogu for their own purposes. Maybe that’s why they were so doubtful that Skywalker was the chosen one. Idk, just a theory.
Hold up. Just thought about it, in that time of the galaxy (birth of Anakin) the Force was being balanced by the father. If the Jedi were to get a chosen one, maybe the sith got a powerful user as well to offset the Jedi. Of course there are holes to this theory. The chosen one was a Jedi prophecy after all.
@@longshotfilms1 the chosen one is not just a Jedi prophecy, the father son & daughter have no affiliation with the Jedi order, and the father himself confirmed that Anakin was the chosen one. That prophecy came from the Wills and got passed down, but it’s not strictly a Jedi prophecy
Well, if you isolate Grogu and ask him if he wants to be a Jedi, he's not going to say no..........because of the implication. I mean, if he says no then obviously the answer is no, but he's not going to say no......because of the implication. #IASIP
I love it how this contributes to the Sith Lord Jar Jar theory. Darth Jar jar would gladly assist Sidious in destroying the Jedi but would not let Sidious getting his hands on a powerful creature as Grogu.
A lot of people saying cal kestis but he was already a Padawan so I don’t think he counts as a youngling
A common trope among sci-fi is that the longer species lives the slower they reproduce. It's possible the Yoda species has a very small population due to their longevit, if that's the case Yoda and yaddle keeping him a secret regardless of their potential relationship would make perfect sense. It would also explain why so many Jedi we're protecting him. Just my personal head canon, but food for thought nonetheless.
Everyone knows Grogu is Yoda and Yaddle's son.
here here 🥳this is the way 😂
Something probably like “Yoda’s species must live’
It could also be due to his slow development
So Reva no longer exists. Well I’m okay with it.
0:57
This is the best Star wars channel by far
So much here to discuss!
At 7:12, the illustration of Lord Vader with a young Anakin Skywalker's (Hayden Christensen) face is erroneous: the duel at Mustafar against his master had disfigured him horribly, which this distortion evidently seeks to negate.
The Grogu stuff was interesting and moving, I kinda teared up a little when the armorer put that rondel on him. But... I'm getting a little tired of those monster fights. Another poor creature gets whacked for following its natural impulses to feed and protect its young... but hey, its babies get to be foundlings in the tribe of their mother's killers, so hurrah. Seriously though, what do the creatures on that planet eat when they can't get Mandalorian. The whole place looks arid and mostly lifeless. Just like Obi-Wan in _A New Hope,_ this show is starting to make me feel "too old for this sort of thing". I often find myself wanting to enjoy it, but unable to ignore the silliness. I mean come on, the Ragnar kid is still alive after a night with all the rescuers camping out at the foot of the cliifs? And the helmets-on rule gets harder and harder to take seriously. I was actually thankful the armorer wasn't making a little one for Grogu.
Are we going to see Kelleran Beq again in the Mandalorian?
Would be cool to see Kelleran join Luke's new Jedi order
I am actually happy Ahmed Best was in the series...I loved his character...
I think Yoda’s race are all and very rarely born through the force. The Council viewed this as possibly the Chosen One
I don't think sidious saw them as a threat as much as he wanted him and Anakin to feed off all that dark force he would get from doing something so terrible. He even says go now to the Jedi temple, leave none alive only then will you be powerful enough to save padme..
Why didn’t Yoda try to contact Grogu over time, instead of just hanging out in Dagoba if that was his son?
Unless Yoda was referring to Grogu when he said “No there is another”!!
He happened to be at the right place at the right time. I do agree it would have been nice if they could have saved more Younglings, but given all the chaos, it was probably best not to take too many chances...
Um are we forgetting The Bad Batch episode with the WOOKIES
Gunji was a padawan learner, just like Cal and Canan.
@GC I guess, but the jedi also called them younglings, hell Grogu is still a baby and luke was gonna give him a lightsaber
Ummm other younglings survived too; see Cal Kestis. As for Grogu, he was protected more as he/his genetic material could be used to create a vessel for Palpatine, capable of containing his massive force energy…unlike Snoke and the various failed clones
One thing that bothers me about Grogu is his eyes... it's very different from that of Yaddle, Yoda, and even Vandar Tokare 🤔.
I always thought that actor kid did a perfect reaction when Vader first drew his Saber when he first walked up on the kids ...
Grogu is the ONLY Youngling to survive? Reva's entire story arc is a death's door Force Vision (like Starkiller's in the TFU Novel) confirmed.
Man….I would love to see a flashback scene seeing Yoda and Grogu together!!!
I love seeing more footage of the prequel era
I don’t care if it was selfish! It was so cute when the Grogu saved the Mandalorian from that mud horn thing!
I loved this video
Vader killing the young Jedi was supposed to cement him to the dark side as an unforgivable act, the Jedi would never take him back or forgive him. But motives matter and palpatine miscalculated anakins heart.
Anakin viewed it largely as a mercy killing. They would have been tortured and killed worse off by the empire. Or turned to sith and forced to fight each other. And his confidence in the Jedi had just been shattered. He was saving them from being miserable Jedis like he was. And he was temporarily insane from his grief with padme. Life is pain sort of thing. He was sparing them from life. This is how even years later luke sensed some good in Vader still. Even after this horrible crime and more obtrocities later.
so good to see nassim hammad back in star wars
Ok, so if Anakin was created by manipulating midichlorians, what if Grogu is created by The Force as a balance? Longer lived and able to restore light long after Vader is dead? And what if that’s why there are so few of Yoda’s species… if they’re only created by the Force to counter Sith moments of strength?
I believe it's not that many of Yoda species like they are considered endangered so that's why they should be protected and they are most powerful. Also, I think they are the embodiment of mediclorians like Immaculate Conception but without a being giving birth to them.
I have a feeling Yoda and Yaddle did that thing and popped 🎉🎉🎉 Grugo was born.
The fact that Anakin and Grogu are the same age can't really have too much of an implication seeing that Anakin is dead. It's obvious that Grogu will have a big role in the future of star wars as to what we can only speculate but Anakin has been dead for what, 31 years at this point so I can't imagine how they could be connected in any way. All this lore taking us back to order 66 seems to just be a way to show how Grogu made it out alive and to make him relevant in his role with whatever comes next. But star wars future being centered around Yoda's species sounds pretty interesting. Maybe delve further into why his species from what we've seen so far seem to be very force sensitive and maybe even piggyback that to dive further into what the force actually is bringing the potential of god-like beings into canon like Abeloth. Although knowing star wars the next step will have Grogu becoming the next Vader and Rey becoming the new Luke or vice versa which I really hope is not the case. Seeing more legends lore become canon though would be amazing too.
Cal Kestis from Jedi: Fallen Order and Reva also escaped, there always could be other new characters introduced.
This is why Grogu becoming a Mandolorian vs a Jedi makes no sense. I get it that Grogu likes Mando and they are like a Father-Son bond. But think of where we are in the SW Universe: Jedis are scarce, the Empire is still out there, and Luke knows of Grogu is of the same species of the Great Yoda. The potential Grogu has for the Jedi and the light side is ENORMOUS, and with his longevity he has the most crucial role in proliferating the light side and making sure the Dark Side does not come back. And yet, Luke let’s him join a ragtag group of mercernaries. I think it is the STUPIDEST writing and I don’t like complaining but the more I see Grogu following the Mando path…it just feels wrong. The show is becoming so wish-fulfilment, which is fine, but really strays from some of the “believable logic” and edge of the first two seasons.
A lot of people in this comment section, don't understand the difference, between youngling and Padawan 🙄
