Grogu is a youngling who is strong in the Force.

Best’s Jedi knight saves a youngling Grogu and cuts down clone troopers with his lightsaber so the two can escape into hyperspace, leaving open the possibility that Beq may be seen again on “The Mandalorian.”

The Star Wars Academy weighed in, tweeting, “In 1999, Ahmed Best appeared in his first major screen role as a character named Jar Jar Binks. In 2023, Ahmed Best appeared as Jedi Master Kelleran Beq, who saves the youngling Grogu from Order 66. If that doesn’t warm your heart then I don’t know what will!”

“The Mandalorian” Chapter 17, titled “The Apostate,” picks up after the events of “The Book of Boba Fett,” which saw Din reunited with his adorable youngling after sending him off to be trained by Jedi master Luke Skywalker at the conclusion of “The Mandalorian” Season 2.

The summer dies, but you will always stay A youngling in some future reader’s thought.
