After picking Din's gift of beskar chainmail armor, Grogu left the other option of Yoda's lightsaber in the hands of Luke. With the help of R2-D2 and Luke's X-Wing, the young Force-sensitive being was brought to Tatooine to reunite with his newfound father-figure, Din.
So Luke offers Grogu a choice by putting a piece of Mandalorian net armor (given to him by The Mandalorian earlier in the episode) and a small lightsaber before him. Luke said that the lightsaber was the same one owned by Yoda.
Grogu was one of the first students trained by the young Jedi Master at his newly established Jedi Temple. Grogu would go on to use this weapon throughout most of his long life, tinkering with it and upgrading it as he got older.
Did Yoda have a lightsaber in the original trilogy?
Summary. Yoda never used his lightsaber in the original Star Wars trilogy because he believed that wars do not make one great. Yoda saw his lightsaber as a weapon and a meditative tool, and vowed to never use it again as an act of penance for his involvement in the Clone Wars.
They are simply from the same species. The name of this species has never been revealed since "Star Wars" creator George Lucas wanted to give Yoda a sense of mystery. Grogu's physical appearance is similar to Yoda, the legendary Jedi Master from the "Star Wars" films.
Given that Grogu, Yoda, and Yaddle are the only known canon members of their species, it makes sense why some would try to draw a connection between the three of them. While Star Wars hasn't disproved the theory, it's highly unlikely that Yoda or Yaddle were Grogu's biological parents.
In a galaxy filled with lightsabers of various colours, the Darksaber stands out as the rarest lightsaber colour, shrouded in mystery and steeped in history. Created by the first Mandalorian Jedi, it has passed through the hands of warriors, terrorists, and heroes, leaving an indelible mark on the Star Wars universe.
Grogu chose the latter, meaning he gave up his chance at getting his own lightsaber. After picking Din's gift of beskar chainmail armor, Grogu left the other option of Yoda's lightsaber in the hands of Luke.
In the episode, Mando and Grogu find the former Jedi Ahsoka Tano so that she can train him. Using the Force, she communicates with Grogu and reveals his name to Mando. Fans were conflicted about the name at the time, with some saying they'd rather stick to the Baby Yoda moniker.
"Indeed. Do you understand its significance?" The Darksaber was an ancient and unique black-bladed lightsaber created by Tarre Vizsla, the first Mandalorian ever inducted into the Jedi Order, around 1050 BBY.
This does, amusingly, mean Grogu should technically be considered a Jedi who is also a knight. Even though Grogu didn't complete his training as a Jedi with Luke Skywalker, most viewers consider him a Jedi. After The Mandalorian season 3, he also officially has a title.
It was believed that Grogu would eventually become a victim of Kylo Ren's destruction of Luke's Jedi Order. However, The Book of Boba Fett revealed that Grogu chose to follow the Way of the Mandalorian rather than become a Jedi, sparing him from Kylo Ren's wrath.
Generally, yellow lightsabers have been associated with ideas around balance in Star Wars. In Star Wars Legends, they were wielded by Jedi Sentinels, who sought to find balance between the other strands of the Order, the more peaceful and knowledgable Consulars and the combative Guardians.
Following Yoda and Sidious' duel, Yoda's lightsaber was recovered by the Empire. In the Darth Vader comics, we see Mas Ammeda incinerate it along with other Jedi's lightsabers. Luke Skywalker kept Yoda's lightsaber after he left it on Degobah after he died.
Subsequently, Yoda didn't want to wield another lightsaber. However, he kept another lightsaber in a box in his hut in 3 ABY. After Yoda's death in 4 ABY, that lightsaber ended up in the possession of Yoda's last Jedi apprentice, Luke Skywalker.
The yellow signifies a willingness to embrace unconventional methods and tackle a wide variety of challenges. Those who wield the yellow lightsaber often possess a broad array of skills and a deep understanding of the Force, making them formidable opponents in both intellectual and physical confrontations.
Taking one of Yoda's lightsabers from a box, Luke placed both objects in front of him and told him to choose. Except Grogu wasn't simply choosing a gift; he was choosing the path for his life. By taking the armor he would become a Mandalorian, and by accepting the lightsaber he would be choosing the life of a Jedi.
The black lightsaber, or Darksaber to give it its proper name, is one of the rarest lightsabers in Star Wars canon. Despite its rarity in canon, anyone who has seen the second season of The Mandalorian is likely to be familiar with the Darksaber.
However, a groundbreaking study conducted at the University of Leicester's Centre for Interdisciplinary Science challenges these long-held assumptions. The study suggests that, against all expectations, red lightsabers may actually be the weakest of the lot.
Given the rarity of his species in the galaxy, along with the fact that the only other two known members of Grogu's species were both living in the Temple when he was born, it seems likely that Grogu is the child of Yoda and Yaddle and was born to help preserve their rare species.
Grogu appears to be the youngest known member of Yoda's species. He is only 50 years old, and he is still developmentally an infant. For the whole first season of The Mandalorian™, they referred to him only as the Child. It seems that the species is, for whatever reason, quite slow to age.
Yoda held the title of Grand Master of the Jedi Order since the days of the High Republic Era. At some point, Yoda took on a human named Kantam Sy as his Padawan. The two were stationed at the Jedi Temple on the planet Endovar.
