Grogu Takes Over BB-8's Body In Star Wars Battlefront 2 Mod
A new Star Wars: Battlefront II mod replaces BB-8 with the equally adorable Grogu.

In The Book of Boba Fett he is being trained as a Jedi by Luke Skywalker in what will become the hero's doomed Jedi school from the Sequel Trilogy.
Given how popular he is, Grogu has been the subject of humorous crossover fanart depicting him as The Last Of Us 2’s Ellie and has even made an official appearance in Fortnite alongside Din Djarin not too long after The Mandalorian’s second season started airing in 2020 — though some players have complained that having the little green critter attached to their character's back gets in the way of aiming. While Grogu has yet to make an appearance in an actual Star Wars video game, plenty of fans have brought him into 2017’s Star Wars Battlefront II through the use of mods.
