What is Baby Yoda’s real name in The Mandalorian season 2?

Din finally delivers The Child to a Jedi in the form of Clone Wars veteran Ahsoka Tano, here played by Sin City star Rosario Dawson.

After accepting he was sent by her Mandalorian ally Bo-Katan Kryze (Katee Sackoff), Ahsoka communes with the Child through the force and reveals that he was raised in the Jedi Temple before the Clone Wars and eventually he was taken to safety as the Jedi order fell to the Galactic Empire, after which his memory goes hazy.

Ahsoka then reveals that The Child’s name is Grogu.

By the end of the episode, it becomes clear that Ahsoka is unwilling to train Grogu in the ways of the Force as she fears his strong emotional attachment to Din, who he sees as a father.

She is aware firsthand from Anakin Skywalker that even the greatest Jedi can fall foul of their strong emotions, becoming Darth Vader.

However, as Din is keen for Grogu to get further training and so Ahsoka recommends he travels to a planet with an ancient Jedi Temple and for Grogu to sit on the seeing stone and decide his future - and perhaps a Jedi will come calling for him.

Meanwhile, Ahsoka looks to continue her mission to find a still-living member of the Galactic Empire: Grand Admiral Thrawn.
