Indiana Jones: totally a Star Wars thing.

i would spend the 5 mil if i had it 😅

My baby Yoda she looks like me♥️♥️⭐🎸💃💃grogu 😄⭐

Anybody who doesn’t love grogu should get help

We'll probably never know exactly how many people have watched the show because with Disney's insistence on it being a Disney+ exclusive with only a very limited physical release that was only available in the USA, it's probably one of the most pirated shows of all time. Not everyone wants to pay a monthly subscription fee. If I could buy it on DVD or Blu-Ray though (even VHS would do lol), I would.

Grogu could live for years.........but it's almost as if we need him to be very young or very old.....Seeing Grogu become a Yoda-esque character? Yeah, I can be happy with that. Seeing Grogu as a baby? I love it. Seeing Teenage mutant ninja grogu? Meh...No thanks? Seeing young adult grogu? Not too sure either

I don't like this way. They should use a child, not a dumb puppet. Even a toddler or 1st graders could have acted,, they are bigger, no problem, just shrink them with camera ar cgi them smaller.

29:37 Force Push isn't a Dark Side technique. Did you think that writhing was it being strangled or something? Even if that technique existed in the canon, which we've never seen as Force Choking is a slow suffocation and nothing more, it's easy to attribute that to it just being a skittery monster. Odd assumption.

I'll admit, I'm pretty sure I started watching for the cute baby alien and Grogu is a huge reason why I continue to watch the show. That isn't to say he's all there is to the show, though, because it really is a fantastically written show that could stand on its own without Grogu... but when have you ever heard "no thank you, I prefer my cake without frosting" from someone who wasn't insane and/or an idiot? He's a core part of the show's lighter tone and makes that aspect of it work. Without it, I fear the show would be a bit too serious or perhaps even darker like Andor. That's not a problem, per se, and I like Andor, but also if I had to choose which one to keep, I wouldn't pick Andor, because no matter how good the writing and performances are for Andor, I like entertainment that is generally as lighthearted as it is interesting and the Mandalorian has that in droves. Andor mostly serves to make you sad or even a slight bit frustrated (but in a good way that you'd want from your entertainment), whereas with the Mandalorian it's mostly upbeat. Any moment that could be a bit of a downer is usually alleviated somewhat just by seeing Grogu's curious little face. Not saying every Disney+ Star Wars show or movie should be overwhelming us with cute characters, but... well... the Mandalorian brought us more Anzellans and it's honestly the cutest shit ever to see them interact with Grogu, so I'm gonna risk being on the wrong side of history and say I'd love more of that, please.

I just love Baby Yoda i have two 25 inch tall baby yoda dolls fully stuffed with the baby yoda dolls head, arms and hands and feet so very cute.

I would literally kill for baby grogu! I would destroy planets for baby grogu!

I more or less agree with your take on Rey in The Last Jedi not being virtue signaling, at least not too egregiously so. Other than the female main character being a feminist idea. But since then, movies have morphed into something that makes the Fandom Menace look pretty accurate in their criticism. The feminist and racial and sexual politics have become the most prominent feature of a movie, and people are correct in their objections. These movies are preachy virtue signaling and trendy woke politics, and people are very aware of it.

This is so awesome, informative and engaging. Thanks! My kid loves grogu and mando, so I need to know all about them 😅 You see, I was released by my mum in the ussr sometime around those talking and walking teddy bears were 😂

i love groguuuu my mother love him to he drive her to star wars hehe

could have been a cool plot twist, that Yoda was once a powerful warrior from his tribe, but he was on a dark path some kind of Darth Yoda and destroyed his home planet and 99% of his species living on the planet that day. After Yoda realizes what he has done, he puts himself into exile for hundrets of years and developed the character of himself being all good, never uses the dark force for another so far unknown reason etc pp.

Dont watch season 3

I find it so funny and cute how Grogu's little eyes can't completely blink, such a nice touch!

Why is this even a question ❓

Hmmm I want to try the yoda 🍇grapes🍇 🤪🤭🤣🤣🤣

Mandalorian was at its best before Grogu… Yes only for most of episode one

You really have to not call Disney Fanfic canon though...

I've never called Grogu "Baby Yoda" and nobody else should, it was the child before it was named. Yoda is a completely different character.

Yodas' species is referred to as the Unknown species

Thankyou so much for making this brilliant video the mandalorian is my favourite show i have been a fan of the star wars franchise for at least 30 years and i have a great love for all the characters in the films console games and tv shows but none of them has got me so emotionally involved as the father and son relationship that Din Djarin and Din Grogu have a truly specail show that i hope goes on for many seasons to come

Gen Z here. Watched Star Wars as a kid. Then went though the EXACT process as described in the video 😂

I came late to The Mandalorian (after all 3 seasons were released) but was aware of "Baby Yoda" before that. I came to the show for Pedro Pascal but I stayed for Grogu (my biggest complaint about the show is that we don't get to see enough of Pedro's face acting -- I know it's not the point but most of the other Mandalorians take their helmets off all the time, why can't he? ... I digress). One thing that happily surprised me with Grogu (I'd only seen still images of him prior to watching the show) is that he's a literal baby. Having him only make the cutest baby sounds was a brilliant move from the creative team. He immediately instils that protective instinct in everyone watching (as well as Din Djarin himself). A character who could have been annoying is thereby just the cutest!

This video should’ve been more popular! ❤ Thank you for this ❤

Grogu future leader of the armies of good

Incredible video, very well researched thank you for the effort

My mom got a smart tv about 6 years ago. She never cared to use any of its smart functions. Anytime I’d show her anything on youtube or any streaming service that she somewhat enjoyed, she’d still turn it off as soon as i’d leave the living room. When i recently started watching the mandalorian i told her i started watching baby yoda and all of a sudden she wanted to see some of it with me. A day later i continue watching the mandalorian and what do i hear from across the hall? Mandalorian music. My mother taught herself for the first time how to use the smart tv functions and navigate through disney + so she could watch baby yoda on my account. We binged the show within 3 work days.

There is no baby update he is grogu only yoga is way way older wow in the thumbnail really lol

Even human babies have white hair and a receding hair line

YOOOOOOOO! 13:25 IS AMERICAN GROGU

Daigorō…

Omg i love Grougu

He’s the greatest guy

Great video! If I may, though, Ian McDiarmid was inserted in TESB Special Edition for the 2004 DVD release. The scene was shot while filming Revenge of the Sith (same thing with Hayden Christensen as Anakin's Force Ghost, replacing Sebastian Shaw).

just skip to 12:04

when i first heard about the show, i wasnt too interested to be honest (its essentially a space opera-western and i have never been into that PLUS the disney-movies kinda put me into the "nah im good" group) HOWEVER, when i saw some memes of "Baby Yoda" , i was beyond intrigued cause Yoda has always fascinated me.. so i started to watch the show and when that iconic moment of "the baby looks at the mandalorian" happened, i was sold. literally the next day i went on the hunt for merch and while it took some time (cause there wasnt any official merch yet), eventually, the child made his way home :D my first "Baby Yoda" (whom i call big baby) arrived on july 3rd 2020 and last year in may, a little brother joined us as well! :D its the same "doll" (both are the og-mattel ones) but due to them being made 2 years apart, they have quite a few differences :D for example, the material for the face, hands and ears is much softer on the newer one. and his skin color is slightly brighter than the first one and yes, if i had the space ( i will soon :D) i would buy another 5 of the little guys because Baby Yoda aka Grogu aka (spoiler for s3, go watch it NOW!) Sir Din Grogu is the greatest thing Disney has produced thats related to star wars. this is the way.

also, shoutout to Werner Herzog for insisting that they use an actual Doll/Puppet for Grogu instead of purely cgi.

Baby yoda is also correct. Just saying.

Great video, on par with advanced video essayists! Keep at it!

I subscribed to Disney+ specifically for The Mandalorian.

It's understandable that you have a lot to say in your first video essay, and it's great that you're passionate about the topic. However, I suggest renaming the video to "Star Wars since Rise of Skywalker" as it focuses more on that specific aspect than the overall hype. While your in-depth analysis of certain series is interesting, it may be better to separate those discussions into their own videos, such as your thoughts on the Mandalorian and fan service. I did notice a shift in your tone when discussing the dropped series, and it's clear that Star Wars holds a special place in your heart. It's important to remember that decisions in the franchise are often financially-driven, and as fans, we can only hope for the best. Overall, keep up the great work and continue to bring a unique perspective to your presentations.

Did you get a chance to comment on Season 2? I couldn't find your feedback. Just to clarify, I view the Bad Batch as a continuation of the Clone Wars, rather than a spin-off. The show follows the adventures of Rex, Cody, Cut, Gregor, and others as they navigate the challenges of the Empire Era. It also tells the story of the Bad Batch and their relationship with Omega and to explain the cloning techniques that Emperor Palpatine will or will not use to explain Episoid 9. Personally, I see the series as a metaphor for the struggles that veterans face after serving their country, and how their government often neglects them.

whoever decided to give baby Yoda ben Stiller's ears is a genius!!!!

I just finished viewing your essay and I must say that I am thoroughly impressed. Your writing skills are exceptional and the content knowledge you possess is impeccable. It's evident that you put in a lot of effort to research and thoroughly analyze the subject matter. I didn't find any errors and I was even enlightened by some of the insights you shared. The editing was on-point and the pacing was perfect. I appreciate that you used your own voice instead of an automated one. I've gone through your other essays and am glad to say I am now a new subscriber. Your ability to combine different series into each of your subtopics is remarkable and I have no doubt that you will continue to excel in your future work. I eagerly anticipate your next "Deep Dive" essay. The video was so enjoyable and I was smiling the entire time. A big thank you. Tony out.

I agree with Liam's point. Let's compare Star Wars to other IPs such as Lord of the Rings and Avatar. Peter Jackson's refusal to create a spin-off of the Lord of the Rings franchise has resulted in maintaining its mystique and popularity over the past two decades. However, Amazon's recent attempt to expand the franchise has not been well-received by die-hard Tolkien fans. Similarly, James Cameron's decision to add more movies to the Avatar storyline might negatively impact the franchise's success in the future. Only time will tell. As a Star Wars fan, I enjoy all types of content, from children's shows to adult-level series. Unfortunately, recent series such as Obi-Wan and Boba Fett suffered from rushed schedules and poor writing. I agree that Dave and John may be stretching things too thin. Marvel also seems to be struggling with too much "Multi-Universe" media (introduced after the Avengers Saga was completed), which can be confusing and overwhelming for fans. On the other hand, I did appreciate the writing, production, and directing of Andor's series. A present surprise and well liked my me. Moving forward, both Star Wars and Marvel should focus their talents and resources on upcoming projects such as Marvel's "Secret Invasion." which I'm hoping has a similar adult style of writing and storytelling as Andor. Thank you for taking the courage to bring up and discuss such an important topic. Tony, out.
