Grogu has appeared in every episode of the first three seasons, except " Chapter 15: The Believer". He was created by The Mandalorian creator and showrunner Jon Favreau based upon his desire to explore the mystery around Yoda and his species. The character was further developed in early conversations between Favreau and executive producer Dave Filoni, and the character's imagery was defined by concept artist Christian Alzmann. Grogu is mostly a work of animatronics and puppetry, although accentuated with computer-generated imagery. a b Kirby, Meaghan (November 22, 2019).

Archived from the original on February 22, 2020 . Retrieved March 3, 2020.Grogu was kept secret and was deliberately withheld from The Mandalorian 's prerelease marketing and merchandise plans due to the risk that details about the character could leak before the show aired. [10] [5] [109] [110] Favreau said of this plan: "I think that part of what people really value is to be surprised and delighted, and I think that's becoming all too rare." [10] Favreau has credited Donald Glover as the source of that strategy. While developing The Mandalorian, Favreau was simultaneously directing Glover in the photorealistic remake of The Lion King (2019). While discussing music and pop culture, Glover told Favreau that people enjoy being surprised, because true surprises had become much less common in the Internet era. As an example, Glover cited the excitement generated by the sudden releases of surprise albums by singer and songwriter Beyoncé. [5] [111] Favreau felt keeping Grogu a secret until he was revealed would allow fans to connect with the character and "discover the story as it was unfolding". The leadership and marketing team at the Walt Disney Company was supportive of this strategy. [10] Screeners of the pilot episode were not distributed to reviewers to avoid leaks about Grogu, [112] and the official Lucasfilm and Star Wars social media accounts did not start posting messages about Grogu until about a week after the series debuted, to avoid spoiling the character's debut as much as possible. [112] [113] [114] Themes [ edit ] Parenting and fatherhood [ edit ] Puppeteering and voice acting by Frank Oz catapulted the character into fame. In some original concept art, Yoda is more elf-like than alien, with longer legs and a pointed hat that wouldn’t be out of place on a classic gnome. The pointed ears are the surviving trait that display the character’s fantasy influence.
