The Mandalorian - Season 2 |OT| Wherever I go, he goes [SPOILERS ON EPISODE DROP]
- Thread starter WadiumArcadium
- Start date
- OT
I'm gonna go ahead and say Ezra Bridger would be the best bet. We don't know anything about what's happened to him post-Rebels, but based on his arc in Rebels he'd be the perfect person to train Grogu, as he was also an extremely emotional Force user with a lot of attachments and mental blocks. Him getting past that was some satisfying stuff to watch.
I've always associated the cover art of the Jedi Knight 2 Mysteries of the Sith add-on as the normal Mara Jade, as that's the only place I know her from.
But I think from who has appeared so far and what little I know of Ezra, he seems the most likely to turn up.

Yup. If Luke shows up it will be in a scene in the series finale or something. Plus...remember all that weird teasing Rahul Kohli was doing a while back? Would not be surprising if the smoke actually did indicate a fire.
One more thing to add: Ezra's biggest skill was his ability to communicate with other species, particularly through the Force. He was very empathetic, but he also probably developed some high level empath and other abilities through the Force as well during Rebels. Like I said who knows what happened after.
The options are basically:
- Ahsoka (Already shown in The Mandalorian and didn't want to take the kid, unlikely)
- Luke (Definitely alive and active)
- Leia (Definitely alive and active)
- Ezra Bridger (Whereabouts unknown, but likely alive)
- Kyle Katarn (if they are canonizing Dark Troopers, then he basically goes along with that story... so it's possible)
- Cal Kestis (unlikely since he may die/have his story wrap up in the Fallen Order games)
- Mace Windu (back from the dead/never really died)
- Oppo Rancisis (Known to have Survived Order 66)
- Coleman Kcaj (Known to have Survived Order 66)
- Another Prequel-era Jedi that has survived Order 66, whose status we didn't know.
- A new character
I'll take Ezra Bridger and a spin-off sequel where Grogu becomes apprentice.
How come Yoda isn't on your list? Or is he dead during this time period?
Straight up I think that it's a possibility. Like Grogu may have just communed with a Force ghost. Because Ahsoka only kind of knew what she was talking about.
This series takes place 5 years after the original trilogy and the fall of the Empire, so Yoda would be dead.
My head says Ezra but my heard says Mace Window with an eyepatch and a funky robot hand.
This series is after RotJ.

Statistically fairly likely. His species was always known to be super rare, and they were both in the Jedi temple?
But my gut says no. Part of me wonders if the species is born of the Force or something weird.
I was thinking that IF that's a big reveal coming up, Disney is going to like retroactively put in random scenes in the comics/books where it "explains" why Yoda didn't save Grogu from the Jedi Temple himself. Like maybe Yoda thought Grogu died when Anakin killed the Younglings and deep down had a sense of regret over not being able to save his son or some shit lmao.
Me and him were talking about the all sorts of weird implications of it and how Yoda would basically be a deadbeat dad.
I don't think it'd be cringey, but it'd be odd, right? Like the Jedi were pretty into the whole "no kids" thing, yeah? And Yoda was like, the Jedi. I know the whole "Jedi Order was a bunch of hypocrites" has been done to death, but Yoda was always the one who was kind of the closest to a model Jedi you could really get. A wise old man who's chill and nice, but will also beat the shit out of you if you're a dick.
The other issue is that it makes him sketchy that he wouldn't go back to find his kid.
As much as I want more Ezra I don't think it'll be him. Ahsoka's original mission being to find him and he just shows up nearby makes it awkward imo.
I don't think it's that Jedi are against conception, just the attachments involved with it. So most Jedi would likely have kids and just not parent them if they strictly follow the Jedi order. Being in love or being horny is a part of the attachment thing.
Still though, it makes it sketchy to me that he wouldn't go get his kid.
Fuckin A I'm dyin what is this from?
Yoda always did seem like a deadbeat dad based on how he treated Anakin, but I could see him basically being the Ging Freecs of the SW world
Grogu's gonna have to play dodgeball to see his dad ('s corpse)?
Yup, except blindfolded and using the force, kinda like how Luke trained with the pilot helmet on in ANH when Obi Wan first introduced him to the force. And the ball has lasers
But like I said, if you consider Yoda a deadbeat parent it makes sense why he kept pushing the council not to establish any familial ties. Plus he's the oldest, so who's to say that was even a rule before he got there
Yeah Yoda died in Return of the Jedi. This is five years later. It is possible he communed with, or could commune with a ghost Jedi (like Yoda), but Ahsoka specifically said someone would come answer the call. So that feels like it must mean a living person, especially if they are meant to come train the kid.
Watch it be a wildcard that answers Grogu's call like Barris Offee lol. Dave has to do something with her eventually lol. But I kinda think it might be either a lowkey or new character that will answer the call.
Non-canon and hes already in live action Star Wars as Mauls voice in Solo.
Yeah, but that's probably never getting followed up on.
And they can recanonize him! They have the powah
Just when all hope is lost and Gideon is about to extract all of Grogu's blood, the Guardians of the Galaxy + Thor show up.
This. Ezra went poof together with Thrawn.
And Thrawn is back.
But is he though? Filoni said there is a chance this takes place chronologically before we see ahoska go looking for them at the end of Rebels. He may just be saying that to obfuscate or it could be true.
This is why I think it will be Ezra. He doesn't have to show up in person, but appearing through the force to Grogu would be the proof that Ahsoka and Sabine need to go on their search for him.
Not entirely true. Ki-Adi-Mundi had several (I think? Or at least one) wives because reproduction was rare for his species. Could be the same for Yoda, especially if his race is closely connected to the force.
I think we'll see the Jedi show up, but as an end of season stinger similar to the darksaber from first season. They'll be at the site where Grogu was before he was kidnapped and the camera will slowly pan up to reveal who it is.
Having avoided seeing TROS so far, I knew that it does the dumb Rey Palpatine thing, but I didn't know that it did so in such a stupid way.
If Ahsoka goes after a smaller fish quite a bit down the Imperial hierarchy (a magistrate) and who is currently busy with providing resources to post-Empire Imperials (besides the obvious 'protecting the innocent villagers' motivation Ahsoka gains on-planet after she learns they are being held hostage), then it she does it because she is sure that the smaller fish has some clue where Thrawn is. The fact that the magistrate is still obviously harvesting resources for someone heavily implies that it is likely to be Thrawn. Remember that absolutely no one had any idea where Ezra and Thrawn ended up during their space whale adventure, otherwise the Ghost's crew would have gone right after them at some point. Why should some magistrate on some backwater world in the Outer Rim be the one to know if Thrawn and Ezra are still MIA, especially after many years? If even force sensitives like Ahsoka can't figure it out?
Also it's been 8 or so years since the events of the last Rebel episode. If Thrawn made it back it only makes sense he would go right back to being a top dog in whatever remains of the Empire (he has the influence, rank, skills and connections to pick up the pieces and become a top warlord quickly). And considering how slippery Gideon seems to be despite having serious assets and forces under his command, it also makes sense that Thrawn isn't easy to find and needs to be hunted down by going up the hierarchy (or following the credits like in this case). And if Thrawn is back again it follows that Ezra would be as well (unless the writers go out of their way to confirm that only Thrawn made it back for whatever reason, which seems unlikely).
