The wildest Star Wars' best duos.
The The Mandalorian and Grogu have been kept largely under wraps, which is typical for Star Wars releases. That has led to a host of rumors and theories, some more credible than others. One of the most popular Grogu theories has felt like an impossibility, but one member of The Mandalorian and Grogu's cast has just dropped a major hint that it could be coming.
Fans Are Convinced Grogu Is Going To Ride A Mythosaur
This Long-Running Theory May Have Begun As A Joke, But It Now Feels Possible
For years, it has been rumored that Grogu will ride the Living Waters of Mandalore.
This perfectly sets up the Mandalorian prophecy of the Mythosaur ri and a being managing to ride the creature, just as the ancient Mandalorians once did. In The Book of Boba Fett, the Armorer specifically tells Din Djarin, "The songs of eons past foretold of the Mythosaur ri to herald a new age of Mandalore." Many have speculated that this could be Bo-Katan Kryze—considering she is the one who saw the beast in The Mandalorian—but Grogu has become an increasingly likely candidate.
This perfectly sets up the Mandalorian prophecy of the Mythosaur ri and a being managing to ride the creature.
In fact, Grogu's Force powers (which remain despite him walking away from Luke's Jedi Temple) make this particularly likely, and The Mandalorian season 3 ending suggests this prophecy could be fulfilled sooner rather than later. With Bo-Katan at the helm, there is certainly "a new age of Mandalore" coming, and, as The Mandalorian and Grogu is the continuation of this story, this movie would be the logical time for this prophecy to be fulfilled. It would also be wise for Star Wars to use the big screen for this major moment.

A new Star Wars theory suggests Grogu is the Mandalorian equivalent of the Chosen One, destined to free Mandalore from the Empire's grip.

Major Updates On Grogu's Power Are Coming
The Mandalorian and Grogu has only increased the probability that Grogu is about to fulfill this prophecy and bring a truly groundbreaking moment to the Star Wars screen. In a recent interview, Weaver explained:
"I get to have scenes with a little Grogu, which is probably why I did the movie.... And he's a little badass, too. It's going to be wonderful for people to see what Grogu is up to now because he's grown up a little bit and is capable of much more than maybe we think just watching the series."
Although it isn't clear what it means for Grogu to be "capable of much more," it's conceivable that this massive revelation regarding Grogu's newfound power could include this iconic creature.
It's conceivable that this massive revelation regarding Grogu's newfound power could include this iconic creature.
This would also be a brilliant way to bring together Grogu's Force sensitivity and his Mandalorian culture. With Din Djarin's adoption of Grogu in The Mandalorian season 3, Grogu is officially a Mandalorian foundling. Having him be the one to fulfill this prophecy and wield this incredible power would merge these two parts of his identity—all without him being a Jedi.
Yeah, I'm Utterly Convinced By This Ridiculous Grogu Theory
This Is Truly a Big Screen Moment, And It Just Makes Sense
Perhaps the most compelling bit of evidence regarding this possibility is the fact that it simply makes sense for Star Wars to use the big screen to finally bring this iconic moment to life. The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett have both heavily hinted that a character will ride the Mythosaur. What better time to do that than in Star Wars' first movie in more than 5 years?
This would also bring something genuinely new to a Star Wars movie, which has been somewhat challenging in recent years. Although Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is largely considered one of Star Wars' best movies, Solo: A Star Wars Story didn't fair nearly as well (nor did the Star Wars: The Clone Wars movie, if it can be counted among the other non-Skywalker Saga movies). With the Skywalker Saga now officially over following Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, it is time for Star Wars to prove itself.
In light of all of this, I am truly convinced that Grogu will ride the Mythosaur in The Mandalorian and Grogu. Star Wars is surely going to bring this moment to life soon, and this movie is perfectly positioned to be the way in which that happens. Likewise, Grogu is the perfect character for this event. Although this theory may have seemed impossible before, Grogu riding the Mythosaur in The Mandalorian and Grogu feels more likely than ever.
