Vox writer Allegra Frank said Grogu made The Mandalorian "instantly more memorable and evocative", and alleviated the solitude and tension that might otherwise have surrounded the show's protagonist. [12] Carolyn Giardina of The Hollywood Reporter said Grogu helped The Mandalorian not only achieve critical and commercial success, but also impact the cultural zeitgeist. [10] Beyond the show, other writers have described the character as a key component in the success of Disney's rollout of the Disney+ streaming service. [4] [140] [141] Julia Alexander of The Verge wrote: "There's no question that Baby Yoda is driving interest in Disney+". [140] Some critics called Grogu one of the best and most lauded new Star Wars characters in recent memory, [114] [137] while others said the character had made the Star Wars franchise relevant to an even wider range of audiences. [4] [74]

The Grogu puppet was popular on set with the show's cast and crew. [66] [87] Chow said: "With the baby, every time it came on set, the whole crew would respond to it. Even the grip department, every production assistant is coming to the monitors, trying to see it." [87] Howard screamed in excitement when she first saw it, [76] and Gina Carano said of Grogu: "That was our precious. Our precious is this being that we all end up taking care of in some way." [66] Emily Swallow said she "fell in love with it like everybody else", [88] [89] adding: "I was thrilled when they brought him in that little bag for the scene that I got to have with it. I just wanted to snuggle it." [90] [91] Amy Sedaris said the animatronic Grogu puppet made everyone on the set happy: "The minute you looked into Baby Yoda's eyes you just got lost." [92] Likewise, Giancarlo Esposito said he enjoyed interacting with the Grogu puppet during filming: "It melts my heart, because the reality is, this little baby does things that you could never imagine and when you look at those eyes and that little body, how can you not help but fall in love?" [93] Carl Weathers has said of him: "He is very interesting and very knowledgeable and very cute. I never use that word, but he is a cute little guy." [94] [95] Werner Herzog, who portrays The Client in The Mandalorian, strongly urged the show's producers to remain committed to the animatronics and puppetry for Grogu, calling them "cowards" for considering using computer-generated imagery. In " Chapter 13: The Jedi", the Mandalorian takes Grogu to former Jedi Ahsoka Tano ( Rosario Dawson) on Corvus, who communicates with him through the Force, learning his name and that he is a former Jedi youngling who was rescued from the Jedi Temple on Coruscant during the Great Jedi Purge and hidden for his safety, which is why he suppresses his Force powers. [58] While Ahsoka is reluctant to train Grogu because of his strong attachment to the Mandalorian, she tells the latter to take him to the Jedi Temple on Tython, where Grogu might reach out to another Jedi through the Force and choose his own destiny. a b Paiella, Gabriella (November 18, 2019).
