To add a tiny little bit, I've also wondered if the during the time between RotS and Mando S1 he was in some sort of stasis or something. That time period accounts for more than half of his life. He would have been 22 at the time the Order fell.

Yeah there's something during that time period that we just don't know about. It's also very possibly that Yoda's species needs a lot of support in its development and Grogu being hidden away and scared for so long made him regress not only mentally but also locking away his memories and force powers. The idea of him being in stasis is interesting because he could have been out in stasis for his own good/safety but then someone took him out. We also don't know how the Imperial Remnant discovered him or learnt of his existence - or how they got a tracking fob for him as a specific life form either.
I think the reason Grogu has failed to properly develop is actually due to a lack of education because of where he has been for all this time. The Jedi Temple fell twenty five years ago so if, as you say, he's the equivalent of a five year old (which I agree with) then he was about the equivalent of a two and a half year old when it happened. If he has spent most of the last twenty five years as a lab rat for the Empire, which is entirely possible, then he never would have learned how to read or write or even speak for that matter.
I'd take it. Then we get another year of "WHO IS IT?" Really though, I hope they show the person's face. Only 8 more hours until we find out!
Yeah this is where I'm leaning to the most. I liked the Stasis theory too though, I hadn't thought of that. Do you think the show will ever explore this more? That time period between RotS, ANH and Mando Episode 1 - what happened to Grogu, who got him out of the temple...etc. Or do you think they'll never mention it again or... I hope we get flashbacks personally. I really do. There's so much they could do and show.
There is precedent with this show, however. Season 1, we saw someone approaching Fenris on Tatooine, and that wasn't followed up until this season. I mean, we all kind of knew it was Boba...or was it Cobb? We still don't really know! Lol
I think they'll tell us through a flashback.
Not going to lie - the dream is that Quinlan Vos foresaw what was going to happen because of the... clarity... he acquired during Dark Disciple, so he got Grogu (the two having basically grown up together) out of the Temple before shit went south but then got caught up in Order 66 and the Empire got to the kid before Quinlan could return to him.
Then when Grogu reaches out, it's Quinlan that answers and he's super happy that the kid is still alive because he's been looking for him for nearly twenty five years and the relationship between the two actually makes Din a bit jealous. 😂
Given that Fennec said it was Boba who saved her life, it's safe to say it was him.
Any chance it's Quinlan Vos? If we're bringing in Clone Wars characters. Plus, having a more rogue-ish Jedi on the show would be in line with its tone. And he survived Order 66.
"Quinlan Vos was a Jedi who spent plenty of his time doing undercover missions. His background as a part of a group known as the Kiffar gave him the unique force power to witness pass events by touching objects that were involved in them. In canon, Vos's fate isn't 100% confirmed but his name did appear in Star Wars Rebels on The Grand Inquisitors list of possible surviving Jedi. It would make sense for him to live because he was on an undercover mission during Order 66 and was not near any clones. Vos also makes a brief cameo in Episode I."

That's true. The weird thing is that it was the sound that clued us in that it might be Boba Fett, but would he make that sound without his armor? I agree that it was just a cool Easter egg to point us in that direction.
Ok tomorrow it is! Thanks!
Wait: didn't we play Gears of War waaaay back?
Don't worry, they'll still rush to post all the spoilers within a hour of it airing.
The first episode of this season, only time it has been over 50 minutes.
Here we are 14 years later! Too funny, hope all is well.
The Season 1 finale, Chapter 8, was 46 minutes, so we can expect something like that. Hopefully, it's closer to the length of the first episode, or more.
I'm kind of nervous. I honestly don't know what to expect. WIth S1, almost everything (except Kuill's death) went as how I expected. That isn't a negative, just that I think it did everything right and as it should've.
But something that worries me with this season's finale is that they might go for the "shocking" finale similar to ESB, but that could backfire. This show has so far been a bit predictable and by the book, but I think that's actually been key to its popularity. It rewards us for years of consuming Star Wars stories, or any kind of story in a lot of media, and gives it to us in a fresh new look with nostalgia thrown in, with the added benefit of modern television production being able to deliver new scenarios, characters and action pieces that wasn't possible on a episodic basis before.
It's a great ride, which is what Star Wars is for a lot of people and in many ways, the Original Trilogy was also that: the old as time tale of the Hero's Journey and archetypes wrapped in a neat and new package.
So I hope they keep delivering that for this finale. I do think we'll get a death, but I hope it's not Din's or Grogu's (of course it won't, but...), and the death will be compensated with a new and pleasing reveal at the end, like seeing who answered Grogu's call, or if Thrawn, Snoke, or the First Order shows up in any way.
