- "The Mandalorian wanted you to have this."
- ―Luke Skywalker
A shirt of beskar chainmail was created for Grogu by the Armorer, on the commission of the Mandalorian bounty hunter Din Djarin in the years after the Galactic Civil War. After receiving the armor from Luke Skywalker, Grogu was presented with a choice of choosing the armor or Yoda's second lightsaber, symbolizing the path of a Jedi or giving into his attachment and returning to Din Djarin. Ultimately, Grogu chose the chainmail and decided to return to Din Djarin.
History[]
The armor was crafted by the Armorer at the request of Din Djarin around 9 ABY and was forged from Djarin's Beskar spear.[2] It was then wrapped and prepared as a gift for Djarin to bring to Grogu.[1] When Djarin arrived to greet Grogu, he was prevented from doing so by Ahsoka Tano. Tano took the gift and later passed it on to Luke Skywalker, who presented the armor as part of a choice to Grogu. Grogu would then decide whether or not to choose the armor and giving in to the attachment, or the lightsaber of Yoda and the path of a Jedi. Luke also advised that it will take Grogu many years to train in the Force, and that he may never see Din again due to the difference in the lifespans of Yoda's species and Humans.[3] Ultimately, Grogu chose the chainmail and decided to return to Din Djarin.[4]
