Grogu is a G: Cause the GwithaPhD Said So

One of my guilty pleasures is to watch the new Star Wars movie television series spinoff, The Mandalorian. The sci-fi show is like an old school Spaghetti Western, a popular genre of American fiction where a gunslinging loner travels the countryside on a horse imposing law and righteousness on the wicked. Although this show is futuristic, the basic premise is the same. Instead of a horse, the Mandalorian gets around in a spaceship. Instead of a six-shooter, the Mandalorian has a ray gun. Instead of a Native American sidekick, the Mandalorian has Grogu.

The lead character of the first ever live-action Star Wars television series is the Mandalorian, played by Pedro Pascal. But, the real star of the show is “The Child,” a five million dollar puppet who loving fans call Baby Yoda, but whose real name we now know is Grogu. I’m here to tell you, Grogu is a G.

Grogu beats to his own drum

I don’t want give away spoilers or reveal the intricacies of the series. But I do want you to know that Grogu could give two f@cks about following the rules. Grogu is a rebel and he beats to his own drum. Grogu is a mother loving pimp!
