Pedro Pascal Reveals How Much The Mandalorian Loves Grogu

screenrant.com:

Pedro Pascal has revealed just how much his titular character in The Mandalorian loves Grogu. The bounty hunter's heart was first captured by Grogu, known to many as «Baby Yoda,» at the same time the audience's was in episode 1. Ever since, Din Djarin has done whatever it has taken to keep Grogu safe and to reunite him with his Jedi kind. The journey has brought the pair of foundlings closer together than either of them expected, and now, both they and the world beyond the screen sees them as father and son.

It was Grogu's love of Din that began to change the bounty hunter in The Mandalorian season 1. The little one used the Force to saved Din from a mudhorn, despite the fact Grogu had been hiding his abilities to keep himself safe during the Jedi Purge that followed Order 66. That act of care towards Din made it impossible for him to leave Grogu behind with the Imperials on Nevarro and caused him to turn back, and take him on the journey that's since culminated in the events of The Mandalorian seasons 1 and 2. The depth of Grogu's love for Din was fully revealed by Ahsoka Tano (Rosario Dawson) in «Chapter 13: The Jedi,» when she told Din that he was "like a father" to Grogu. There was no hiding the admiration the little one had for his guardian who had sworn his life to protecting the foundling.
