The Mandalorian revealed a big Baby Yoda secret and sent the internet into meltdown
We finally know the Child&rs🐼quo;s real name, and it’s not Baby Yoda

Warning: this is the way towards major spoilers for The Mandalorian season 2, episode 5 – so stop here if you haven't seen the latest episode!
Chapter 13 of The Mandalorian practically knocked us over with reveal after reveal, from a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Grand Admiral Thrawn namedrop, a reference to Anakin Skywalker, and – of course – the first-ever live-action appearance of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Ahsoka Tano. But the one thing the internet is obsessed over now is the surprise of Baby Yoda’s real name – the mysterious little creature is in fact called Grogu.
While it’s abso🌺lutely going to be hard to break the habit of calling him Baby Yoda, it’s also nice to finally have a name for the Child – although, admittedly, it is kind of weird that it doesn’t start with a "Y".
We alsoℱ discovered that Grogu escaped Order 66, the infamous order that lead to most of the Jedi being killed. It turns out Grogu was trained in the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, presumably as a youngling (despite being 50 years old, the same age as Darth Vader) – which means he was rescued from Anakin’s murderous fall to the Dark side.
Of course, the reaction on Twitter to Baby Yoda’s past has been huge – ꦉand as much as some people seem to love the name, there are still some who insis꧃t Baby Yoda is the only term for them, and some who just aren’t keen on his real moniker.
Sꦆcroll on for a look at the internet’s thoughts.
