Grogu’s journey in The Mandalorian shows his development as a Force user, from small acts like stealing cookies to saving lives.
Grogu used the Force to accomplish 10 epic feats The Mandalorian, that’s why.When Grogu was first introduced The Mandalorian, he was nicknamed “Baby Yoda” by the audience. The moniker is fitting, as not only is he the third canon member of Yoda’s rare and unknown species, but he’s also a powerful Force user. While he’s still the equivalent of a preschooler and therefore less trained in the Force than Yoda, he still possesses impressive abilities that he’s shown off multiple times on the show.
Grogu frequently uses the Force in small ways throughout the show—for example, pushing around in a spinning chair and stealing cookies. However, there are a few times where he shows how powerful he truly is. He usually displays his most epic powers in emergencies. If Din Djarin is particularly in danger, Grogu will use his love and attachment to harness the Force. Since Grogu returned from two years of training with Luke Skywalker, his proficiency in the Force has grown significantly. Here’s a look at every time Grogu has used the Force so far and why.

10 Grogu rescues Din Djarin from Muldhorn
Season 1, Episode 2 “Chapter 2: The Child”

|---|
In “Chapter 2: The Child,” a group of Jawas steal parts from Din Djarin’s ship. Of course, this creates a major problem for him and Grogu. After all, he had just broken the bounty agreement and rescued Grogu. The two are on the run from some very dangerous people. So, along with Ku’il, they tried to get the parts back from the Jawas. The Jawas insist that they will return the parts only if Din Djarin gives them a clay horn egg. Having no other choice, he agreed. This of course caused Muldhorn’s mother to be furious.
Mudhorns are powerful creatures. They resemble rhinos with exaggerated horns, have tough skin, are incredibly heavy, and are known for charging. Din Djarin understandably lost this battle. Grogu was knocked to the ground and the Mudhorn was about to crush him when he reached out with the Force and lifted him off the ground. It’s a powerful moment because it shows the growing connection between the two. Grogu had just been saved by Din Djarin, which he was grateful for, so when he saw Din Djarin in trouble, he used the Force to protect him.
9 Grogu chokes Cara Dune and engages in arm wrestling Din Djarin
Season 1, Episode 7 “Chapter 7: The Reckoning”
force power used | forced suffocation |
|---|
When Din Djarin recruits former Rebel commando Kara Shaan to help protect Grogu on Nevarro, the two engage in a friendly arm-wrestling match. However, Grogu didn’t understand what was happening. He believed that his (at the time) adoptive father was in pain and that Cara Dune was trying to hurt him. In anger and fear, he choked Kara until his father explained that it was okay.
This moment is shocking because it’s the first time Grogu has made a mistake and used the Dark Side Force. It’s also interesting because while his attachment to his father leads to his missteps, it’s his father who is able to pull him out of trouble and stop him from going too far. This moment shows the power of Grogu, who at times, like all Force users, suffers from the temptations of the dark side, but it also shows that Din Djarin has the ability to condition him and therefore be a good mentor to him.

However, he seemed to pause for a moment to consider the ethics of what he was doing – surrendering to the dark side – and released the stormtroopers. This is a moment of growth for Grogu because unlike Kara, who has to be told to stop, he regulates himself. He realizes what he’s doing is wrong and chooses to escape the dark side.

This is another example of Grogu using the Force in a more intense way to save those he cares about. It’s worth noting that while he changed his mind and became their ally, up until that moment Karga had been planning to betray Grogu and return him to the Empire – and Grogu’s act of kindness changed his mind .

|---|

He is able to summon Luke from the planet. In this case, Grogu’s Force connection was enhanced by the stone and the highly Force-sensitive planet Tython itself.

While the Mandalorian children were training, Din Djarin asked Grogu to join them. At first, Ragnar Vizsla won the battle. However, Din Djarin told Grogu that it was possible to use his Force abilities and encouraged him to show them what he was capable of. He then used the Force to jump over Ragnar’s head and used his superior reflexes to win the duel.
It’s a really sweet moment, as it shows Din Djarin helping Grogu learn to use the Force willingly to win battles. Until then, Grogu had struggled to use the Force as ordered. This shows both the progress he’s made with Luke and how his father’s encouragement continues to help him become more in tune with the Force.
