"Grogu is "another perfect example of a character that has to emote and you have to feel connected to, and he never speaks a word," Kennedy said to at the Golden Reel Awards. She also confirmed this won't change in the upcoming movie."
"Grogu may be a baby, but he's technically older than Din Djarin. In fact, he was born the same year as Anakin Skywalker. He's just developmentally a baby because of the long lifespan of his species - remember, Yoda passed at 900 years old, so 50 is barely a drop in the bucket."
Grogu, the character known as Baby Yoda, became a cultural phenomenon following Disney+'s 2019 launch. Despite being chronologically older than Din Djarin, Grogu remains developmentally a baby due to his species' extended lifespan. He has shown significant growth over recent years, evolving from a helpless infant to a trained Force user. The upcoming theatrical film The Mandalorian & Grogu will feature Grogu more prominently, and trailers show him babbling frequently. However, Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy explicitly stated that Grogu will not speak in this movie, emphasizing that his character's power lies in his ability to emote without dialogue.
