The Mandalorian's latest episode was once again home to several OMG moments and overall, it was a fun episode that didn't disappoint. Now, we all know that The Child is the absolute star of the Star Wars spinoff show and even before the first season debuted, a lot of us have already been referring to him as Baby Yoda because of his striking resemblance to the legendary Jedi Master. Of course, we all know that he's a completely different creature and that has long been established.



Chapter 13: "The Jedi" has finally revealed The Child's real name and we may have to stop referring to him as Baby Yoda moving forward after learning about this, as hard as that may seem. In the episode, Ahsoka calls the creature by his true name "Grogu" and boy, that alone was a jaw-dropping moment and I don't exactly know how to feel about it.

Naturally, The Mandalorian fans were stunned by this new discovery and a lot of them aren't ready to let go of The Child's already iconic moniker. In fact, most fans refuse to refer to him as "Grogu".

However, despite the fact that some fans refuse to accept his official name, there are still people who are willing to embrace Baby Yoda's true identity.


Calling The Child "Grogu" will take a lot of getting used to, that's for sure but hey, we can't associate him with a different character forever. I gotta say though, Baby Yoda will always have a nice ring to it and there's a reason why Disney and Lucasfilm have branded him that way. Don't be surprised though it people continue referring to him as Baby Yoda 'cause, you know, I don't think that one will ever go away.

The Mandalorian Season 2's new episode is now streaming on Disney+.
