A Baby Yoda hug became the newest Grogu meme from The Mandalorian Season 3 premiere

The Season 3 premiere of The Mandalorian featured one of our absolute favorites.

If you haven’t watched the Season 3 premiere of The Mandalorian, stop right now and go do watch it. We’ll wait. Go on.

Ok, you good? I hope so, because there will be spoilers for The Mandalorian going forward.

If you didn’t watch The Book of Boba Fettor just forgot what happened — our favorite little green munchkin Grogu (although he’s always going to be Baby Yoda to us) gave up Jedi training and reunited with his (and the internet’s) favorite Mandalorian dad, Din Djarin (played by Pedro Pascal).

The first episode of Season 3 was excellent, but the best part of it was undoubtedly reuniting with a close friend we hadn’t seen since Rise of Skywalker.

IS THAT BABU FRIK???

Ok, so it’s likely not Babu Frik — instead just another member of the Anzellan species — but man it was amazing to see anything that reminds us of our little droid mechanic back on the screen. Since Mando is using the Anzellans (yes, plural! There were many!) to try and repair the IG-11 unit that we got to know and love during Season 1, it stands to reason that we will see them at least one more time.

The internet LOVED the re-appearance of our favorite little critters.
