Dave Filoni Talks About the Future of Grogu and the Possibility Of Seeing "Baby Yoda" All Grown Up One Day

Dave Filoni is one of the creative forces at the helm of the future of Star Wars, and in a recent chat with ComicBook, the outlet asked the aficionado what he could tell us about the future of Grogu. Will we ever see a “Baby Yoda” all grown up?

Filoni was vague, noting that a big part of Grogu’s appeal is the mystery of the character, so he didn’t give away too much. “It’s always a good question,” he said. “I mean, kids grow up, right? It’s always an interesting question.”

He went on: “I mean, we’re always balancing between giving away too much of the mystery or saying too many things because one of the reasons people like characters like Yoda and Grogu is there’s an element of mystery to them.

“And so, I think that factors in, too. But, you know, at one point there was no Grogu. There was no young version of a Yoda character. So, now we have that and I think we’re always kind of judging and looking at things long term for what does the story need and what does the character need, if it makes sense.”

The outlet noted that if fans are assuming Grogu’s age has something to do with how time works in a galaxy far, far, away, don’t look to Interstellar’s science to rationalize things. Star Wars operates differently. Filoni agreed, stating, “Yeah, not so much so,” Filoni said. “It’s more in the fantasy world.”

I don’t think we need to know all the mysteries of Grogu’s future. I am just excited for his impending adventure.

The Mandalorian and Grogu flies into theatres on May 22nd.
