I have a theory, hear me out. The one who saved Grogu in the Jedi temple was… Anakin Skywalker! Yes, Anakin was already evil, but not fully evil. He saw the clones about to kill a baby youngling and he wasn’t still bad enough to allow such a murder. I bet he killed the clones and allowed Grogu to flee the temple
Pretty much everything we "knew" about Luke's post-RotJ history(which was very little anyway) is being retconned.
It could certainly be revealed that Luke was still training Grogu as of the ST era. That's what I mean when I say that I'm not sure what direction they'll go with him.

I'd be surprised if it were Anakin. The dude had no qualms with wholesale slaughtering younglings... Not sure why he would have taken pity on Grogu specifically. /shrug
I think Ahsoka mentioned in S02 that *someone* at the Temple saved Grogu though.

I enjoyed the hell out of the episode, but... it really feels like this should have happened in Mando season 3, not a Boba series. That and they didn't show us Luke meeting Ahsoka. WTF. It's a huge missed opportunity, which I hope they'll show in the Ahsoka series.
I doubt it'd be Mace, as the assault on the Temple/Order 66 happened after his death.
And yeah, hopefully the Luke/Ahsoka dynamic will be fleshed-out in the future, but I thought it was pretty cool to hear how much Ahsoka evidently respects Luke: "There is no place in the galaxy more safe than here with Luke."
Amazing how small the galaxy seems in these shows. Star Wars media is nothing but self-referential masturbation at this point that refuses to let go of the past and grow.
Luke telling Grogu that a jedi can't form attachments, particularly father-son attachements, misses the entire point of the OT and PT. It's like Luke didn't learn anything. He's no better than the PT jedi.
That scene alone ruined the episode for me which is a shame as I liked it until that point.
Well, I guess it's consistent with the abomination that is ST Luke. I don't know why I expected anything else.

You're being overly critical.
The problem is that Grogu's current attachment to the Mandalorian is preventing Luke from properly training him as a jedi because his hearts not in it. So Luke is giving him the choice to either go back with Mando, or stay there and continue his training without that attachment. In Grogu case it has to be one or the other.. he's to immature right now to handle both.
Luke tells him that having attachments is forsaking the way of the jedi and that he may never see the Mandalorian again. Nothing about his age being a factor. Luke's attachment for his father saved the galaxy, and that made him a better jedi than the old dogmatic jedi. He's a hypocrite to deny Grogu the same thing.
It's literarly the same mistake the PT jedi did with Anakin and his mother.

i'm tolerating robo-luke. the new series material and format is comparatively better than the ST & PT films by far imho.
with that said, that second cockpit window on mando's new ship had me like , even more so than that dark troopers techno theme song from mando. and WOW are we laying on the cowboy western theme THICKLY. it's threatening to turn full-camp

So Luke can have attachments, but the other jedi can't because Luke said so?
That would make him a hypocrite and worse than the PT jedi.
He told Grogu that he may never see Mando EVER again if he wants to be a jedi. The reason Luke saved his father and the galaxy was because he didn't listen to his masters when they told him to forgo his attachments.
Grogu not being able to do both because Luke says so is the exact type of reasoning that ****ed Anakin.
Unless this is some sort of test for Grogu(which I doubt it is considering Filoni aparently liked TLJ) this is just a fundamental missunderstanding of the OT and ROTJ in particular.
Grogu can't be properly trained as a Jedi if his real dream is to be off running around with Din. So Luke is just giving him the option- go off on adventures with your buddy Mando, or stay here and train with me. Unlike the PT Jedi, who basically kidnapped children, Luke wants his new students to have a choice in the matter. He wants them to be at his academy willingly. If Grogu doesn't want to be there then he can leave. Simple as that.
Yeah, I agree all round, except I love a space western. I would like to see a WW2 Normandy landings style battle too at some point and maybe a trench warfare episode. Classic tropes always work!
