Star Wars: 10 Things You Didn’t Know About Grogu

3. What His Mandalorian Status Means

As your writer has already touched upon a few times throughout this list, very early on in his on-screen Mandalorian life young Grogu finds himself being adopted into Mandalorian culture as a "Foundling" - a term used by Mandalorians when referring to the children adopted by the warriors of Mandalore.

However, his inducting into the Mandalorian way of life also resulted in the Force-sensitive Jedi Initiate unexpectedly going down in the history books. Along with the legendary Tarre Vizla, known for being responsible for crafting the Darksaber and being the first Mandalorian to be inducted into the Jedi Order, Grogu is the only ever being to hold the honour of being both a part of the Jedi Order and Mandalorian clan.

With Grogu seemingly turning his back on the ways of the Jedi, though, perhaps following a similar path to that of a certain Ahsoka Tano, and picking up his Beskar chainmail vest gift from Mando towards the latter stages of The Book of Boba Fett, his days of being recognised as both Jedi and Mandalorian look to be potentially over.
