George Lucas Said Grogu Had To Be Trained
While preparing to writeThe Mandalorianseason 2 , episode 5 " Chapter 13 : The Jedi " amidst his other creative duty onThe Mandalorian , Dave Filoni had a talk of the town with Lucas about Grogu . InStar war : The Art of The Mandalorian ( Season Two),Filoni revealsLucas ' " main concern was that the kid has to have a right amount of training . “As the someone who most empathise Yoda ’s strong Force ability and ultimately created the Force itself , Lucas ' words make sentiency , as he would make out someone else of Yoda ’s same species would ask breeding to harness his abilities - disregardless of what his future would be .
Luke’s Words In The Mandalorian Were Really Lucas’
It ’s probable , then , the words Luke Skywalker utters inThe Mandalorianseason 2 finale when convincing Din to get Grogu go with him were in reality Lucas ' own . Luke tell apart Din , " endowment without training is nothing , " which echoes exactly what Lucas enunciate to Filoni regarding Grogu ’s future . It could be that the discourse with Lucas about Grogu , then , urge the account ’s mindset on Grogu ’s preparation as a whole . Rather than making it something Groguwantsto do , it becomes something hehasto do , pass water Grogu follow along with his duty in an honorably Mandalorian eccentric of way - despite his fond regard to Din .
" He is strong with the Force , buttalent without training is nothing . "
Grogu Always Had To Train, No Matter What
Even if the report ofThe Mandalorianwas intend to keep Din and Grogu together from the beginning , the little one would always have to receive training .

As someone of Yoda ’s species , Grogu ’s Force abilities would always stay , and Luke knew he had to avail guide Grogu to employ his abilities for good rather than out of fear .
Lucas ' concern , then , was very potential the drive decimal point for Grogu ’s Jedi grooming hereafter inThe MandalorianandThe Book of Boba Fett . Like Luke himself , Lucas sympathise early on that Grogu ’s tragical backstory would make him a life-threatening user of the Forceif he never learned how to in good order wield his abilities . Considering Grogu cover his abilities for so long , it ’s also probable he forgot how much of what he had once been taught , which intend his natural talent would go to pine away without the proper guidance . This was avoided by Lucas earning the opportunity to make his voice heard on the subject , and now , the story ofThe Mandalorianhas been forever change byStar Wars’original Maker .
