Baby Yoda Comes to Life in Exclusive Clip From The Mandalorian’s Home Release

Cast your memory back to season one of The Mandalorian, to the first moment you glimpsed Baby Yoda—even before Star Wars marketing nudged fans into calling the character “the Child,” and before we learned his name was “Grogu.” This clip from Disney Home Entertainment’s The Mandalorian Season 1 and Season 2, out today, recaptures some of that magic.

“A character that was cute, but not really cute,” you say? That definitely sums up our mischievous, ever-hungry, Force-wielding little buddy, though the real Jedi mind trick of The Mandalorian might be the seamless way the show’s creators brought Grogu to life using a puppet enhanced sparingly with CG—making him feel like a living, breathing creature in the process.

Both seasons one and two of The Mandalorian are out today in 4K Ultra HD Steelbook and Blu-ray Steelbook; all releases come with two discs, so you know what that means: bonus features! Here’s what’s included:

Bonus Features (Season One)

• Remnants of the Empire – Uncover the imperial designs adapted for the series and meet new villains as the Empire’s threat persists.
• Forging the Covert: Part One – Jon Favreau, Dave Filoni, and crew highlight the craftsmanship behind Grogu, the Mandalorian’s arsenal, and the show’s practical effects and digital wizardry.

Bonus Features (Season Two)

• Designing the New Republic – Jon Favreau, Dave Filoni, and crew talk about the New Republic’s evolution and aesthetic in this story-rich period of the Star Wars timeline.
• Forging the Covert: Part Two – Talented artists reveal their inspiration and the designs of the warriors and their weaponry as the legend of Mandalore expands.

The Mandalorian’s third season streamed earlier this year on Disney+ (watch it here), so look for that home release coming eventually to add to your collection.
