Warning: If you haven't seen Chapter 20 of The Mandalorian, this article contains MAJOR SPOILERS so read at your own risk!

Despite what the show's main title suggests, there's no denying that The Mandalorian has always been centered on Grogu and his origin story. Since the beginning of the hit Star Wars series, the Force-wielding creature's backstory has been shrouded in intrigue and fans have been searching for answers over the last four years.

In Season 2, it was revealed by Ahsoka Tano herself that Grogu was in fact among the fortunate ones who survived Order 66. However, the fierce Jedi warrior wasn't able to go into detail about the Child's miraculous rescue. A number of chapters later, we finally learn key details about Baby Yoda's salvation and it's all thanks to someone none of us expected.

For quite some time now, there has been persistent speculation surrounding the person who saved Grogu from the Sith's fatal onslaught, and names such as The Seventh Sister, Master Yaddle, and even Reva were suspected to have aided Grogu during the Jedi purge.

Turns out, a Jedi named Kelleran Beq was responsible for Grogu's rescue. The mighty Jedi, played by prequel trilogy actor Ahmed Best (yup, Jar Jar Binks himself) emerged during the purge and helped the youngling flee Coruscant. This isn't the first time Kelleran appeared in the franchise. In fact, the character was first introduced in Star Wars: Jedi Temple Challenge.

We didn't learn much about Beq during the episode because by the time he and Grogu were able to escape, that's where the Child's flashback ended. Hopefully, the next Chapter will offer more clarity on his rescue.

The latest episode of The Mandalorian Season 3 is now streaming on Disney+.
