It's official: Grogu, widely known as Baby Yoda, is the future Sith Emperor, destined to rule with an iron fist and a cute, fuzzy demeanor. The announcement shocked fans around the world, who had fallen in love with the big-eyed, pointy-eared creature during the second season of The Mandalorian.
Sources close to the production team claim that Grogu's Force powers and quick wit make him the perfect candidate for the Sith throne. "We always knew Grogu was special," said one insider. "But we didn't realize just how special until we saw him use the Force to steal cookies from the craft services table."
Fans are understandably conflicted about the news. On one hand, they're devastated to see such a lovable character turn to the dark side. On the other hand, they can't deny the appeal of a tiny villain with a penchant for mischief.
"It's like watching a cute little puppy turn into a rabid wolf," said one fan on Twitter. "I know I should be horrified, but I can't help being a little excited."
Others are worried about the implications for the future of the Star Wars universe. Will Grogu succeed in his quest for power, or will he be thwarted by a new crop of heroes? And what will happen to our favorite characters from the original trilogy?
One blogger speculates that Han Solo, now a geriatric retiree living on a space farm, will be forced out of retirement to help stop Grogu's evil plans. "He'll be like Indiana Jones, but in space," she quipped. "It'll be hilarious."
Despite the uncertainty, one thing is clear: Grogu's rise to power is sure to be a wild ride. We can only hope that his reign as Sith Emperor is as entertaining as his time on The Mandalorian.
