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.
Summary. The Bad Batch has confirmed that the Empire placed bounties on targets with high M-counts like Grogu, who remained sought after for decades. By The Mandalorian era, Force-sensitive targets like Grogu were extremely rare, making him a prime target for the Empire.
Despite his youth, Grogu demonstrates a considerable ability to use and manipulate the Force, such as when he lifts the large Mudhorn creature into the air in "Chapter 2: The Child", and when he deflects the fire of an attacking stormtrooper's flamethrower back against him in "Chapter 8: Redemption".
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.
If Din Djarin in particular is in danger, Grogu uses his love and attachment to tap into the Force. Ever since Grogu returned from two years of training with Luke Skywalker, his adeptness with the Force has noticeably increased.

What happens to Grogu after Luke died?
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.
Is Grogu more powerful than Yoda? No. He was not as wise or as mature as Yoda and could only do minor feats in the Force before becoming totally exhausted. There is simply no comparison between 50 year old Grogu and 900 year old Yoda in terms of Force ability.
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.
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.
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.
Yes, in the Mandalorian, Grogu's age is revealed to be 50 in human years, Djin Djardin's age is never revealed but from the final scenes of the final episode of Season 2 of Mando, where Mando removes his helmet, an estimate of his age would be around 35-40 years. By the time of The Mandalorian, Grogu is 50.
This is what we've seen in Mandalorian and this is without proper training, with training Grogu can easily become one of the most powerful Jedi masters of all time, which there obviously planning on as he's Yoda 2.0 and will take that mantle.
Grogu chose to return to Djarin and was reunited with him on Tatooine in the middle of a gang war between Boba Fett's forces, whom Djarin was aiding, and the Pyke Syndicate. Afterward, he and Djarin would travel the galaxy in hopes of restoring their home planet Mandalore, and the people as well.
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.
As Din's conversations with Bo-Katan in Season 2 made clear, the survivors of the Purge believed the Empire had attacked Mandalore as part of a "scorched earth" policy, opting to annihilate the Mandalorians and their planet after realizing Mandalore would never submit to Imperial rule.
Grogu refused to be a part of Luke's Jedi Academy because Luke wanted him to forego attachments, like the old Jedi Order. That's on its way out, as the future of the Star Wars universe dictates. Grogu didn't want to give up his adoptive father, so he returned to Din on Tatooine.
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.
So, maybe it wasn't about trying to have Grogu look like Yoda, but rather figuring out a specific design for himself. "Jon wanted them to be dog-like, with giant dark pupils," Chiang continues, and, lucky for us, that's what we got — the alternative being a psychotic samurai baby gnome, from the concepts shown.
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.
Through their adventures and journeys through the galaxy, young Grogu is honing remarkable abilities. Although he previously trained as a Jedi, Grogu has chosen to return to Din's side and continues to share his adventures as they take a stand against the Imperial remnant.
He was raised in the Jedi Temple on Coruscant and trained by several Jedi before surviving the end of the Clone Wars and Order 66. During Anakin Skywalker's massacre at the Jedi Temple, Grogu was taken offworld and hidden away by Jedi Master Kelleran Beq, and was forced to hide his Force abilities to survive.
The Mandalorian Confirms Moff Gideon Wanted Grogu's Blood For Force Cloning. The Mandalorian season 3 finale revealed Moff Gideon was creating clones of himself, and he wanted Grogu's blood to make them Force-sensitive.
Mandalore the Ultimate is, as his name suggests, the greatest of the Mandalorians. Although his past is steeped in mystery, it is clear that he was a warrior and leader with no equal, who led his people during the Mandalorian Wars against the Jedi, single-handedly turning the tide of the war in their favor.
Baby Yoda is protected by the Mandalorian, who has taken on the role of a reluctant father figure for him. It is later revealed that the Child's name is Grogu. Baby Yoda, based on dimensioned analysis taken from The Mandalorian, is 16” (40.5 cm) tall. How tall is Baby Yoda?
