Baby Yoda

Grogu spent some of his time off between seasons as a float for the 2022 Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade in New York. The amazing puppetry and visual effects behind this character have made the force-sensitive Grogu/The Chid/Baby Yoda something everyone knows, even if you haven't seen an episode of the show.

Grogu is operated by a staff of puppeteers, and some of his voice sounds are made by the show's sound editor, David Acord, who then heavily modified them.

The incredible comedian joined the Star Wars universe when she began playing Peli Motto, a mechanic in Tatooine who helps out Mando and Grogu and provides some great comic relief along the way.

Ming-Na Wen

Wen played the incredible villain Fennec Shand in both The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett. Her first appearance in The Mandalorian was only one episode, but is still a high point among fans and critics. Shand was prematurely killed off in S2, before it was revealed that she was still alive. We can always hope that she'll make a return sometime down the road.

The most genius casting choice in season one by far was getting the famed German director Werner Herzog as The Client, a mysterious Imperial operative paying for the mission to hunt Baby Yoda. In 2022, he narrated the documentary Last Exit: Space, which was directed by his son Rudolph Herzog.
