Grogu Media

Werner Herzog, who portrays The Client in The Mandalorian, strongly urged the show's producers to remain committed to the animatronics and puppetry for Grogu, calling them "cowards" for considering using computer-generated imagery.
Jon Favreau has credited actor Donald Glover (pictured) with inspiring the decision to keep Grogu's revelation a secret.
