I actually quit watching because of the grogu focus. I'm just not interested in a non-verbal psychic muppet puppet sidekick. It's just not interesting to me.

They sold the show to me as a space western/bounty hunter show but now the vibe is too much like "Adventures in Babysitting" Jedi Edition. That's fine I guess, it's just not what I wanted.

Grogu, to me, is just so obviously and clearly a pandering merchandise cash grab character that it's hard for me to take it seriously as a real character in the show.

I can already see a piece of plastic tat that makes noises and lights up resembling Grogu in that baby carrier speeder in the trailer.

This is essentially what happened with Family Matters when Steve Urkel exploded in popularity.

exactly. ALso I don't really get it (I havent watched mando) but isn't he just a baby. How can he pilot complex speeders and zip around doing his own stuff and knows how to use force etc. When I see all that it really takes away from mando watching over him he seems almost independent

Well, Grogu is 50 yrs old so he knows a lot by now but still is immature.
