Old Star Wars Comic May Explain Baby Yoda’s Origins

Even though we’re all going through a dry spell awaiting The Mandalorian Season 3 to debut in December 2021, we still can’t stop talking about that little, adorable green character we all know and love as “Baby Yoda”, “The Child”, and officially as “Grogu”. So, what’s all the chatter about lately? Well, it seems an old Star Wars comic may contain possible clues about Grogu’s past.

As shared via MovieWeb: “The issue in question is Star Wars Tales #13, which was written by Fabian Nicieza, Jim Krueger and W. Haden Blackman. Star Wars Tales #13 centers on Mace Windu. It features a collection of short tales involving the Jedi. The final tale in the book is titled Children of the Force. This is of particular interest to those who are curious about Grogu’s mysterious origins. It sees Mace taking his padawan, Depa Billaba, to a Jedi nursery. Depa is conflicted about the fact that these children were taken from their homes to be trained in the ways of the Force. A bounty hunter by the name of Vianna D’Pow enters the fold, attempting to steal these babies from the nursery. It turns out she was hired by parents of the children in the nursery. These parents regretted allowing their children to be taken by the Jedi.”

“Amid the chaos as Mace is dealing with Vianna, we see a shot of the Jedi nursery. In the bottom, right-hand corner of the panel, we can see a familiar-looking, green baby alien in a crib. It is, indeed, a baby hailing from the same species as Yoda. While this isn’t Baby Grogu, seeing as the character didn’t exist when the comic book was written. But it could be a window into where the Baby Yoda we’ve come to know in The Mandalorian came from. Perhaps the Jedi Order took him in as a child and placed him in one of these nurseries. We know that Grogu is 50 in the timeline of the show, as Yoda’s species ages differently than many others. So the timeline could easily work out.”

Interesting, right… or are we just stretching for any possible information to continue talking about this popular Disney+ series?! Either way, we can’t get enough of it. Do you think this explains what may have happened to Grogu on his younger years?
