This week’s episode of The Mandalorian gave viewers a huge insight into Baby Yoda’s backstory via a lengthy expository spiel from Rosario Dawson’s debuting Ahsoka Tano, and the little guy even has a name now. Of course, it would be foolish to expect anyone to call Grogu anything other than Baby Yoda given how deeply The Child has ingrained himself into the hearts and minds of the fanbase, but it at least unravels several layers of the mystery surrounding him.
Not only that, but Ahsoka revealed Mando’s surrogate son was raised at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, where he was trained by some of the finest Jedi Masters of the era, only to be hidden during the Empire’s rise to power. Of course, that ties in directly with Order 66 being executed during Revenge of the Sith, when Ahsoka’s mentor Anakin Skywalker fully embraced the Dark Side of the Force and slaughtered the Younglings.
The Mandalorian has established Baby Yoda is around 50 years old, and with the show taking place roughly 25 years after Revenge of the Sith, Grogu would have been even smaller back then. Still, that hasn’t stopped fans from accusing him of abandoning the rest of the Younglings, and you can check out some of the reactions below.

Following a series of big reveals in “The Jedi”, The Mandalorian is clearly being positioned as a bridging point in the Star Wars mythology that ties the canon of both the animated shows and the movies together, and Baby Yoda appears to have connections to all corners of the expanded universe, with the world surrounding Mando and his charge getting bigger on a week by week basis.
