Grogu Was Saved From Order 66 By Ahmed Best's Jedi, Korellan Beq. The Mandalorian season 3, episode 4 reveals the Jedi initially tasked with protecting Grogu were all killed.
After ably deflecting the bolts from the clone troopers, Beq took off on the speeder through the skies of nighttime Coruscant with Grogu by his side. Still chased by the clones, he avoided their attack, and, with the help of some Senate guards, he and Grogu boarded a ship and escaped via lightspeed.
This article contains spoilers for The Mandalorian season 3, episode 4. The Mandalorian season 3, episode 4 finally revealed who rescued Grogu from Order 66 - a Jedi Master named Kelleran Beq.
Grogu was approximately 22 years old at the time of Order 66, so given how old Yoda was when he gained a lightsaber, Grogu should've had his own for at least 10 years by then.
Since it was revealed in The Mandalorian season 2 that Grogu was at the Jedi Temple during Order 66, many fans have concocted both plausible and far-fetched theories on who or what managed to save him.

Who is Grogu's biological father?
Grogu's mother is either Yaddle or some other female member of Yoda's species, but he has no father. Because just like Anakin, Grogu was born off the Will of the Force, with no dad, and that explains why he's so powerful at an age that's considered an infant for Yoda's species.
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.
If I didn't miscalculate, I'd say Grogu was born in the same year as Anakin: Grogu is 50 years old in "The Mandalorian" which takes place about 9 years after A New Hope, meaning he was 41 years old during ANH, which would make him 22 years old during ROTS which is the same age Anakin/Vader was at at that time.
Din Grogu (/ˈɡroʊɡu/), colloquially referred to as Baby Yoda, is a character from the Star Wars Disney+ original television series The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett. He is a toddler member of the same species as the Star Wars characters Yoda and Yaddle, with whom he shares a strong ability in the Force.
Yoda dies during Episode 6 which is set 5 years before The Mandalorian. And with Grogu being 50 in The Mandalorian, that puts Grogu's birth at around 45 years prior to Yoda's death. Gorgu is fifty when the Mandalorian takes place — that is five years after Endor and about as long after Yoda's demise.
Coupled with the fact that the only other members of his species to have been seen in Star Wars canon were also especially powerful Jedi, this may begin to explain Grogu's true significance. Grogu may be the child of Yoda and Yaddle, potentially conceived purely to help preserve their incredibly rare species.
No, Anakin had gone over to the Dark Side and was totally beyond redemption when he led the Jedi Temple raid. None of the Jedi, padawans or younglings at the Temple were spared. Most likely Grogu was rescued by someone before the raid went down or else he wasn't any longer there.
As The Foundling shows, not many Jedi Padawan made it out alive. Baby Yoda was one of the lucky few, however, with Beq – aided by some sympathetic Royal Naboo security forces, AD-3, and his astromech droid LX-R5 – smuggling Grogu out of the Jedi Temple.
While fans don't know the state of Grogu's well-being in the sequel trilogy, his ties to Mandalore might explain why Kylo Ren doesn't kill him. It's likely Grogu stays with Din Djarin and the Mandalorians, and never returns to embark on his training with Luke.
Luke Skywalker eventually had the lightsaber in his possession after Yoda's death in 4 ABY. Five years later, he offered the weapon to Grogu in a choice against obtaining beskar armor. However, Grogu chose the beskar armor over the lightsaber and went back to Din Djarin.
Yes, a few Younglings are known to have survived Order 66, including an unnamed Rodian seen in Jedi: Fallen Order. The most famous Youngling survivor is “The Child,” Grogu.
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.
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.
How old is Kylo Ren around the time of The Mandalorian season 2? Ben Solo was born in 5 ABY. The Mandalorian takes place, or at least starts in 9 ABY. Which means that little baby Ben is about 4–5 years old at this point in time, and won't be joining Luke's Jedi school for another half decade.
One popular fan theory says Grogu is a clone of Yoda. While there is circumstantial evidence to support that possibility, Grogu's age would seem to contradict that idea. The Jedi Council didn't even know about Kamino's clone army until Attack of the Clones set in 22 BBY (Before the Battle of Yavin in A New Hope).
While we know the simple answer is that Grogu hadn't been created yet when The Force Awakens kicked off the third Star Wars trilogy in 2015, it's an interesting question from an in-universe perspective, and one THR recently asked The Mandalorian executive producer Dave Filoni.
Grogu (pictured) melted the hearts of Mandalorian fans with his adorable baby face. But although this big-eyed toddler may look very young, he's actually 50 years old.
Grogu and Yoda's species age slowly, a process which allowed Yoda to live to be 900 years old. Grogu would be 76 years old in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, but it's unlikely those decades would have meant much for his development at his glacial pace of aging.
