10 Most Underrated Scenes In Star Wars

The show that led the charge for the slew of recent live-action Star Wars shows we’re currently experiencing, The Mandalorian is also responsible for launching the pop culture phenomenon that is Baby Yoda - or as his friends call him, Grogu.

For three seasons of The Mandalorian, and a couple of appearances in The Book of Boba Fett, Grogu has been a creature of few words. To be exact, he’s been a creature of zero words.

However, there was one particularly adorable Mandalorian moment where it looked like we might get Grogu’s first words. During season three’s third episode - Chapter 19: The Convert - there’s a scene where Din Djarin, Bo-Katan Kryze, and Grogu are aboard Bo-Katan’s ship after departing Mandalore. As Djarin and Kryze share a “this is the way”, in the background comes a gurgle from Grogu that, if you listen closely enough, sounds remarkably like the little fella trying to copy his partners-in-crime’s sentiments.

Of course, there’s not long to take this moment in, for as soon as Din and Bo-Katan exchange a slightly confused glance, their ship is attacked by TIE Fighters.
