Let’s talk about the absolute madness that went down at Star Wars Celebration. Jon Favreau, the guy behind The Mandalorian, walks out holding Grogu—you know, that little green toy baby Yoda thing—and the crowd LOSES. THEIR. MINDS. People are screaming, crying, shouting “OMG IT’S GROGU!” like they just witnessed the Second Coming. Meanwhile, I’m sitting here wondering… what the actual fuck is wrong with you people?
It’s a Fucking Toy
Let’s get one thing straight: Grogu is not real. He’s a puppet. A piece of plastic and fabric with some animatronic eyes. And yet, fully grown adults are losing their shit over it like it’s their long-lost child. Pedro Pascal and Sigourney Weaver were standing right there—actual human beings with Oscar-worthy talent—but no, the crowd only had eyes for the green muppet.
I get it, he’s cute. He makes those big eyes, he eats frogs, he’s got that whole “baby but also ancient Jedi” thing going on. But screaming like you just won the lottery because you saw a puppet in real life? That’s not normal behavior. That’s the kind of thing that makes me question the future of humanity.
Why Are People Like This?
Look, I’m not saying you can’t like Grogu. If you think he’s adorable, fine. But the level of obsession some fans have over this character is borderline psychotic. Grown men and women were crying tears of joy over a puppet. A PUPPET. Not a person, not a miracle, not even a real animal—just a prop from a TV show.
And it’s not just Grogu. Star Wars fans do this all the time. They lose their minds over lightsabers, stormtrooper helmets, and cardboard cutouts of Boba Fett. It’s like they forget these things aren’t real. They’re toys. Fun to look at? Sure. Worth screaming over? Absolutely not.
Get a Grip, People
I’m not trying to ruin anyone’s fun, but let’s be real—this kind of extreme fandom is weird. If you’re getting emotional over a puppet, you might need to take a step back and ask yourself: Why does this affect me so much?
Is it nostalgia? Escapism? A desperate need to feel part of something bigger? Whatever it is, it’s not healthy to get that attached to a fictional character. There’s a whole real world out there with real people, real experiences, and real emotions. Maybe instead of crying over Grogu, you could, I don’t know, go outside? Call a friend? Pet a real animal?
The Hypocrisy of Fandom
Here’s the funny part: If someone acted this way over, say, a Barbie doll, they’d be called childish. But because it’s Star Wars, it’s somehow socially acceptable to lose your mind over a puppet. Why? Because Disney spent millions making sure you love this little green guy? Because the internet told you it’s okay to obsess over fictional characters?
Fandom is great—it’s fun to love movies and shows. But when you cross the line into treating a puppet like a deity, you’ve gone too far.
Final Thoughts: Chill the Fuck Out
Listen, I’m not here to yuck anyone’s yum. If you like The Mandalorian, cool. If you think Grogu is cute, fine. But if your reaction to seeing a puppet in real life is to scream like you’ve just seen a miracle, maybe it’s time to reevaluate your priorities.
It’s okay to enjoy things. It’s not okay to lose all sense of reality over them. So next time you feel the urge to scream “OMG IT’S GROGU!” take a deep breath, remember it’s just a toy, and maybe—just maybe—go touch some grass.
Because, seriously… what the fuck is wrong with you people?
