A member of the same species as the Star Wars character Yoda, [10] [11] he is 50 years old during the events of The Mandalorian " Chapter 1: The Mandalorian", but still appears to be an infant because of the pace at which that species matures. [12] [13] [14] The species has never been given a proper name because Star Wars creator George Lucas wanted Yoda to maintain a sense of mystery. [2] [4] [15] Until Chapter 13 (i.e. episode 5 of season 2) of The Mandalorian, Grogu was not identified by a proper name, being referred to by sympathetic characters as "the child", "the kid", or "the baby", and by the antagonists as "the asset", "the bounty", "the target", or "the donor".

[118] [124] The Mandalorian feels a connection and parental bond with Grogu because of his own childhood, when he was orphaned upon the death of his parents and was adopted by the Mandalorian culture as a "foundling". [118] Nevertheless, fatherhood was not a role the Mandalorian was initially seeking, and he makes repeated initial attempts to avoid this responsibility. He first does so in "Chapter 3: The Sin", when he leaves Grogu with the Client, [124] and then again in "Chapter 4: Sanctuary", when he plans to leave Grogu with Omera, a protective mother on the planet Sorgan who is willing to take Grogu into her own family. The Mandalorian does not fully commit to the role of fatherhood until the first-season finale, "Chapter 8: Redemption" when Grogu himself is also adopted into the Mandalorian culture as a "foundling" and the Mandalorian is formally declared to be his father figure.

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.

Smail, Gretchen (November 12, 2019). "Werner Herzog's 'The Mandalorian' Character Is The Next Great 'Star Wars' Villain". Bustle. Archived from the original on January 27, 2020 . Retrieved January 27, 2020. Grogu was kept secret and was deliberately withheld from The Mandalorian 's prerelease marketing and merchandise plans due to the risk that details about the character could leak before the show aired. [10] [5] [109] [110] Favreau said of this plan: "I think that part of what people really value is to be surprised and delighted, and I think that's becoming all too rare." [10] Favreau has credited Donald Glover as the source of that strategy. While developing The Mandalorian, Favreau was simultaneously directing Glover in the photorealistic remake of The Lion King (2019). While discussing music and pop culture, Glover told Favreau that people enjoy being surprised, because true surprises had become much less common in the Internet era. As an example, Glover cited the excitement generated by the sudden releases of surprise albums by singer and songwriter Beyoncé. [5] [111] Favreau felt keeping Grogu a secret until he was revealed would allow fans to connect with the character and "discover the story as it was unfolding". The leadership and marketing team at the Walt Disney Company was supportive of this strategy. [10] Screeners of the pilot episode were not distributed to reviewers to avoid leaks about Grogu, [112] and the official Lucasfilm and Star Wars social media accounts did not start posting messages about Grogu until about a week after the series debuted, to avoid spoiling the character's debut as much as possible.
