Star Wars Introduced A Baby Yoda 14 Years Before The Mandalorian Season 1 (From A Certain Point Of View)

The introduction of Grogu as “Baby Yoda” in The Mandalorian rocked the whole world, but Star Wars actually first introduced this concept 14 years before then. Before Grogu was given his name in The Mandalorian season 2, the entire world lovingly called him “Baby Yoda,” a name that stuck for a full calendar year until Ahsoka Tano was able to reveal his name to Din Djarin and the rest of the Star Wars audience. Despite the name reveal, many viewers still continue to refer to Grogu by his affectionate nickname, and the concept of a baby version of Yoda continues to live on in memes, jokes, and more across the Star Wars fandom.
