Summary
- Grogu's origin and backstory, particularly his connection to the Arvala system, remains shrouded in mystery, even though pieces of his Order 66 backstory have been revealed.
- The inclusion of Arvala-6 in the show Andor, which takes place before The Mandalorian, hints at a connection between Grogu's backstory and the events of The Mandalorian.
- Arvala-7, the planet where Grogu was found and kept in an abandoned mining town, has ties to the Empire, raising questions about their involvement in Grogu's story and why bounty hunters were sent after him instead of Imperial forces.
Grogu's backstory in The Mandalorian has mainly been kept a secret ever since his debut, but one Star Wars Easter egg has provided a new hint towards uncovering it – and has simultaneously raised new questions. Pieces of Grogu's Order 66 backstory have gradually been revealed over time within The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett, but the events of his life leading up to the moment he meets Pedro Pascal's Din Djarin in The Mandalorian are still shrouded in plenty of mystery. This especially concerns one key planet, the only clue viewers have to Grogu's origin ever since his debut.
Arvala-7, a planet first introduced to the Star Wars galaxy by The Mandalorian, is so far the only planet traced to Grogu's origin and backstory post-Order 66. Given the fact it's a brand-new addition to the galaxy, there isn't much known about the desolate planet other than the fact it's inhabited by a fair number of Jawas and the Ugnaught Kuiil. Another Star Wars show, however, has since referenced the Arvala system – and it ties an interesting thread to Grogu's own backstory.
