WOW!
Jumping into space, the N-1 Naboo royal starfighter is seen heading towards what I think is the forest moon of Endor.
R2 drops into a sleep and the ant droids build a bench for him, where he sits to wait.
Luke and Grogu are seen meditating atop a hill. The deep fake is the best I’ve ever seen and it literally looks like a young Luke Skywalker 5 years after return of the Jedi.
As they meditate, Grogu raises a frog with the force to eat when Luke wakes up and looks at him all funny. Raising dozens of frogs with the force so Grogu sees maybe using the force can bring me more of what I want. I think Luke is doing this to show Grogu the difference in force abilities, and also maybe to entice Grogu, as we learn he’s having a hard time training him because of how loosely into it Grogu is. They take a walk and Luke tells Grogu about Yoda, about how size matters not.
Asking Grogu if he remembers anyone talking in riddles like Yoda back home. Then Luke asks him if he wants to remember, and touches his head, showing us a vision of Grogu’s memories during Order 66. The first thing I’m going to mention is how the aura vignette is like Anakin’s visions of Padme in revenge of the Sith. Grogu is remembering actually being there at the Jedi temple. 3 Jedi are protecting him during the raid on the Jedi temple by the 501st.
The 501st are the clone troopers loyal to Anakin Skywalker. They fought with him during the clone wars, and marched the temple with him during Order 66. Now as for who the Jedi were, I don’t know but I do know who they aren’t. They’re not cin drallig, as Anakin was fighting him in the hologram obi wan sees back at the Jedi temple, and Anakin also terminated Cin Drallig in the Revenge of the Sith video game and the novelization, so I doubt this would be how Drallig dies. The other two are just Jedi knights I think who are probably stationed there to protect grogu, maybe by orders of master Yoda, or someone else. As for who took Grogu, I’m not sure, but ‘ll make some theory videos on who I think it might be.
Also I zoomed in on his lightsaber, and it’s not Cin Drallig’s.
Pretty insane how the 501st shoot at the already lifeless body of the Jedi. We are taken back out of the flashback and Din is surprised by Ahsoka. He asks to see Grogu, and she basically tells him it’ll just make it harder for Grogu if he sees him again.
He wants to gift him the beskar chainlink armor. It’s his right as a foundling. A mandalorian foundling that is. Ahsoka questions why is he not a Jedi Padawan now, instead of a foundling? Din seems heartbroken and this scene is very breaking. As we know Din realizes he must not make it harder for Grogu if he sees him. So he chooses what’s best for Grogu in the moment and gives the gift to Ahsoka Tano to give to Grogu. Blasting off in his N-1 Naboo starfighter as Grogu reaches out for him. It was a really beautiful scene and I know they’re writing it this way to increase the tensions of Grogu and Din finally meeting one day.
Luke trains with Grogu much like how he trained with Yoda on his back. He runs through the forest much like Dagobah, and even does the same front flip like in the empire strikes back. Luke speaks of balance. This is something qui-gon preached. I love how we’re seeing a bit of a legends Luke here where he’s taking ideologies of the Jedi from the republic and moulding them into his own way, a better way. Not so dogmatic as palatine would tell Anakin.
Luke has Grogu standing on one leg just like he did on one hand, and trains with his green lightsaber as Grogu watches on in curiosity. He trains Grogu with the marksman training remote. This is the one we saw Obi-Wan use on Luke in a new hope all those years ago. This was Luke’s first entrance into the force and to train his Jedi reflexes. Something Qui-Gon noticed in Anakin very quickly upon their meeting.
Grogu is a quick learner and beings leaping with the force much like Yoda, flipping, dodging blasts from the remote when Ahsoka remarks that Luke taught him well, as Luke says, he’s beginning to remember more than his teaching and we get a beautiful line where she tells him sometimes the student guides the master, as she smiles and looks like she’s reminiscing of her time with Anakin. Now, we also must recall, Grogu was powerful in the force and trained with the Jedi in the temple for almost 50 years, where somewhere along the way, he or rather someone made him lose his memory.
