While the Mandalorian goes with Greef, Cara, and their Mythrol companion ( Horatio Sanz) to destroy the last Imperial base on Nevarro in exchange for said repairs, Grogu is left at a local school, where he uses the Force to steal some cookies from another child.

Despite his youth, Grogu demonstrates a considerable ability to use and manipulate the Force, such as when he lifts the large Mudhorn creature into the air in "Chapter 2: The Child", [22] [67] and when he deflects the fire of an attacking stormtrooper's flamethrower back against him in "Chapter 8: Redemption". To simply put it, superheroes, Star Wars, Harry Potter and all things gore and creepy makes this girly girl swoon. This made Pally so nervous that he missed Grogu altogether when he tried to punch him in the three subsequent takes. Grogu has a sweet temperament, [5] and comes across as innocent and kindhearted to most of the people he encounters, [68] but is also occasionally capable of violence, such as during a scene in "Chapter 7: The Reckoning" when he uses the Force to choke Cara Dune while she is engaging the Mandalorian in a friendly arm wrestling match and in "Chapter 14: The Tragedy" when Grogu slams two stormtroopers together while imprisoned by Moff Gideon. His pupils fill the shape of his eyes even more and unlike his counterpart, the eyes are not painted in and they open and close in reaction too.

She also condemns the Mandalorian for leaving Grogu alone on the ship, saying: "you have an awful lot to learn about raising a young one".

During an emotional farewell, the Mandalorian removes his helmet to let Grogu see his face for the first time and promises to meet him again.The toy sold out within days of its announcement, with new deliveries not expected until December 2020. Official soft goods such as T-shirts were the first to be made available because they were the easiest to produce. Julia Alexander of The Verge wrote: "There's no question that Baby Yoda is driving interest in Disney+". On February 20, the United States Army revealed that a M1 Abrams tank belonging to the 3rd Infantry Division of Fort Stewart in Georgia had been named after Grogu, with the words "BABY YODA" printed on the barrel of its gun.
