The Mandalorian provided Disney+ with its first runaway original hit, but a debate over 'Baby Yoda' almost killed the Star Wars TV series. TheMandalorian
The Mandalorian almost snatched defeat from the jaws of victory due to a Star Wars custody battle over Baby Yoda. As Star Wars' very first live-action TV series , much rested upon The Mandalorian's armored shoulders. Despite that pressure, Din Djarin's solo series is a roaring success by virtually every conceivable metric.
Pedro Pascal may star in the title role, but anyone familiar with The Mandalorian will know the real star is a small green puppet called The Child and"Baby Yoda" before Ahsoka Tano finally confirmed the youngster's name as Grogu. Din Djarin's egg-munching companion is a powerful Force-sensitive and belongs to the same mysterious, unnamed species as Yoda... but his presence in The Mandalorian almost didn't happen.
It doesn't take an advertising guru to realize Grogu represents both marketing gold and a massive Star Wars merchandising opportunity . His instantly recognizable design and obvious cuteness helped push The Mandalorian toward a wider demographic that wouldn't typically engage with Star Wars outside a movie theater.
Kicking on into The Mandalorian season 2, Grogu becomes the emotional heart of the entire show, his father-son relationship with Din Djarin transforming into an unstoppable narrative engine. After 2 seasons , The Mandalorian is fundamentally a story about a father and his child. Take that child out of the equation, and The Mandalorian loses something irreplaceable.
Dave Filoni's Yoda-pprehension is completely understandable. Had The Mandalorian sauntered onto Disney+ and immediately answered every lingering question about Yoda's species, both Grogu and his green senior would've become much less interesting. Fortunately, The Mandalorian does a sterling job of introducing a new character from Yoda's race while keeping the species' aura of enigma wholly intact.
