In all seriousness, I would be fully on-board with them retconning Mace as having survived, making his way back to the temple, but being too late to save everyone and just getting Grogu out. The question just becomes what happened afterwards.
if we do learn who saved Grogu, I think it would be a much smarter move to make it a Jedi we've at least heard of. Quinlan Vos? Shaak Ti? Yaddle?
As of current canon, Shaak Ti was killed by Anakin in the Temple. Apparently she was just meditating in her chamber, and Anakin waltzed in and merc'd her.
I've always been a Vos fanboy, so I'd love to see him make an appearance in the live-action side of things(because he canonically survived Order 66.) Would be shocked if that happened, though, because it seems like most writers shy away from using him.
Yaddle is also possible. Canon hasn't confirmed whether or not she survived Order 66. Hell, canon hasn't even really stated what became of her after TPM -- all we know is that she took a less active role in Jedi affairs... And since I firmly believe that Grogu is Yoda and Yaddle's love-child, it would be fitting to have the mother swoop in and save her son; perhaps sacrificing herself in the process.

Why you all assuming that grogu was rescued? Seems more like he was abducted and trained by palpatine

Great, we can have a one armed Mace Windu comic, film or TV show where he's not recognised because he has a creepy monster face from the lightening and he may even turn evil or meet up with obiwan, or wait, what if he fights darth maul and we have robot arm vs robot legs!

I always hated Ti’s death in canon. She was the highest ranking member of the Order, she should be leading the defense against the Clones or at least directing the evacuations of younger Jedi, like she did in Legends. Instead she was meditating.. why the **** is she meditating at a time like this?? The order is going extinct after 10.000 years and she is “ok guys let’s think about it veeeeery deeply”
She was meditating to create a holocron that Luke would later discover. Still stupid as hell, though... Hordes of children are literally being slaughtered in the next room over, and you're just chilling?
Atta girl.

Pretty clear that grogu just didn't want to be a Jedi. He'd rather be with Mando. So instead of trying to force grogu down the Jedi path, Luke gave him what he actually wanted. I don't see the problem here.
