Our little boy, also known as Baby Yoda, is being forced to make the most important decision of his life. What will he do?

The way of the Jedi? Or the way of The Mandalorian? Luke repeats a mistake of the old Jedi Order by forcing Grogu to divest himself of all sentimental connection, which puts our friend in a bind since he wants to continue learning the secrets of the Force, but he also loves Din. a decision or will he surprise us with something else?

Luke tests Grogu to become a Jedi, using many of the same tactics as Obi-Wan Kenobi, which works very well and even helps him recall some repressed memories, but that training is cut short when Baby Yoda senses the presence of the Jedi. from his surrogate father, causing Skywalker to wonder which path to take with him.

Grogu must choose between taking Master Yoda’s lightsaber for further training and never seeing Din Djarin again or take the armor Mando gave him, return to him, and go the way of the Mandalorians. The episode ends with Grogu musing, with no clear answer, but if you look at the story they’re building in this Star Wars universe on Disney+, the path he’s going to take is pretty clear.

In recent episodes, there has been a clear contrast between the demands of the Mandalorians and the Jedi, but both have their shortcomings. Mando took off his helmet to help someone he loves very much, but the blacksmith decided that for this action he was no longer worthy of belonging to the family. Meanwhile, the Jedi ask that all romantic relationships be cut, something practically impossible and that not even Luke himself has fulfilled.

Everything seems to indicate that Din Djarin and Grogu will be a bridge between both beliefs, combining the best of both cultures. Similar to what happened with Tarre Vizsla, the creator of the Darksaber (of whom we already told the story of him). 

It is very difficult to think that Baby Yoda, still a child, can make such an important decision and then fulfill it for the rest of his life. So we’re sure something will happen that will allow him to follow the path of the Force, but still maintain his relationship with Mando.

However, it would be much easier for Star Wars as a franchise if Grogu chose the path of the Jedi. In this way, they could sideline Baby Yoda for most of New Republic’s history and the sequel trilogy, bringing him back as a fully-fledged Jedi in the new horizon of the post-Skywalker era.

On the other hand, Stars Wars has had a huge success on Disney+ in large part thanks to the pairing of Din Djarin and Grogu. The Book of Boba Fett has set the plot for Mando to become the savior who restores Mandalore and the culture from it, but can we really imagine Din taking on such an epic mission without his great friend? Having Baby Yoda choose the path of the Mandalorians would allow Disney to continue creating adventures with the two of them together.
