Baby Yoda is no longer Baby Yoda, actually has a name in latest ‘Mandalorian’

But we’ll never stop calling him Baby Yoda.

WARNING: MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD FROM CHAPTER 13 OF THE MANDALORIAN! DO NOT READ AHEAD IF YOU HAVEN’T WATCHED IT YET!

Ready?

OK!

In “Chapter 13: The Jedi” from the second season of The Mandalorian, we met — or for fans of the animated Star Wars series Clone Wars, re-met — Ahsoka Tano, who was Anakin Skywalker’s apprentice, something she alludes to in the episode.

Our hero brings Baby Yoda to the Jedi master, and she communicates with him through the Force and finds out some very important information: he once lived on Coruscant and was trained at a Jedi Temple before being hidden.

Also, she learns that he has a name: Grogu!

This is deeply fascinating and adds a lot more to the mystery surrounding the creature that The Mandalorian orbits around. Maybe this means he’s not a clone and there are more of his kind besides Yoda.

But you can forget about me referring to Grogu by his name. He is and will forever be Baby Yoda, and maybe he’s The Child on occasion. Others agree:

Baby Yoda forever. But also: what an episode!
