Baby Yoda Comes to Life in Exclusive Clip From The Mandalorian's Home Release

Grogu—or as he was known then, the Child, on season one of The Mandalorian.

Cast your memory back to season one of The Mandalorian, to the first moment you glimpsed Baby Yoda—even before Star Wars marketing nudged fans into calling the character “the Child,” and before we learned his name was “Grogu.” This clip from Disney Home Entertainment’s The Mandalorian Season 1 and Season 2, out today, recaptures some of that magic.

“A character that was cute, but not really cute,” you say? That definitely sums up our mischievous, ever-hungry, Force-wielding little buddy, though the real Jedi mind trick of The Mandalorian might be the seamless way the show’s creators brought Grogu to life using a puppet enhanced sparingly with CG—making him feel like a living, breathing creature in the process.
