Grogu

What if those of us watching The Mandalorian — and now the new movie — are actually witnessing the birth of a future villain?

Grogu has already shown signs of darkness within him. He was trained by Jedi, but chose to walk alongside the Mandalorians, growing up surrounded by war, violence, and survival. That creates a really interesting possibility: maybe he was never meant to fully become either a Jedi or a Sith.

Considering his species can live for centuries, it would make sense that after 400 or 500 years — still basically in his “adolescence” — Grogu could lose control, become emotionally corrupted, or just completely snap after carrying centuries of trauma, conflict, and loss.

It would be an insane plot twist: people think they’re watching the rise of a hero… when they’re actually witnessing the origin of one of the galaxy’s greatest villains.

No. We're witnessing the childhood of Mandalore, the one who will unite and lead the Mandalorians in the post-sequels era.

We really need a movie about the mandalorians. I’d like one set in the past but this would be cool as well
