This adorable green critter stole the hearts of fans from his first appearance on the screen. All the more surprising is the fact that not everyone advocated the introduction of little Grogu - for that is the name of Din Djarin's companion - to the screen. The biggest doubts about this decision came from Dave Filoni himself, that is, the writer and director of The Mandalorian.

In a recent episode of Disney Galler, dedicated to the work on the show's third season, the creator revealed that the desire to portray a character confusingly similar to the legendary Yoda aroused his worst fears. This is because Filoni was aware that the father of Star Wars, George Lucas, adored the character and because of that, they have a huge responsibility.

The director's confidence in Jon Favreau has paid off, as little Grogu has become the central figure of the entire show. Given the recent statements by the showrunner, we can be sure that in future episodes of The Mandalorian we will further explore the story of the Force-sensitive character.
