The Mandalorian: 10 Most Insane Fan Theories

10. Grogu Can Talk, But Doesn't Because Of Trauma

It's hard to think of any characters from Star Wars that have taken the world by storm quite like Grogu. He's been the heart and soul of the series from the moment his adorable eyes peaked at Mando in the first episode. But, one Reddit user has a twisted idea on why the little creature has yet to utter a word.

As claimed by u/tehmpus, the reason why Grogu doesn't speak is that he is traumatised by the events of Order 66. Seeing the atrocities, especially the ones performed by Anakin Skywalker to the younglings, was supposedly enough to render Grogu into a catatonic state where he could not speak out of fear, despite being able to.

This theory is supposedly justified by season 2, episode 5, where Ahsoka converses with Grogu via the Force and claims to hear his thoughts. According to this theory, the fact that she can understand what he's thinking implies that he has a grasp on speech and communication. However, this theoriser believes that the things he's witnessed have prevented him from being able to speak them aloud.

Now that's a theory that does not coincide with Grogu's cute presentation.
