I want some more Gremlin interacting with the dark side Grogu tbh, I want Din to get hurt and Grogu just losing it, and yes it has to be better written than it was in the finale of S3.

I want Grogu with flashbacks of his past looking at his father in danger and just going all in, throwing and chocking people around, levitating and crushing things, and healing wounds. Throwing himself at his father once everything is over, clutching his cape and babbling incontrolably.

I want Din at a loss, worried and scared (also mad at himself for putting Grogu through pain again), and seeking advice either from Ahsoka or preferably Luke.

Luke tells him about his test and Grogu’s choice, Din is surprised (and a bit angry) but Luke explains he could feel Grogu’s love for his father, and denying him the chance to live his childhood as a son would only refuel his past trauma... and leave him more susceptible to the dark side (yes he explains what the dark side is, Din wants to groan at how now there are evil wizards he needs to worry about). “I might be a jedi who grew up with no parents but at least had the love of my uncle and aunt, Grogu feels happy and safe with you, it’s only natural he wants to protect that”.

Din’s head spinning cuz Grogu is having dark tendencies bc of him but he’ll go fully dark if he’s not with him, can’t win with this force bs. Parenting is hard.

Luke’s words do nothing to ease his worries, and he is annoyed at how the jedi doesn’t seem worried. Luke smiles and tells him to trust Grogu “he chose to be a Mandalorian and I’m not surprised. The jedi order fell because they couldn’t deal with a hurt individual’s attachment, so call me crazy but I think the force is guiding us in finding a new answer”.

Din not commenting on the “us”. And wishing space wizards weren’t so vague in their words, oh and wouldn’t it be nice if they didn’t leave their fate to a thing that helps them lift rocks?, but Luke is right in saying Grogu will become a Mandalorian.

I want Din deciding to trust Grogu.

And after some more incidents, Din understanding Grogu’s feelings are no different from his own when he was a scared foundling wanting nothing but to protect his new Mandalorian family.

Din realizing he will not be able to stay long in Grogu’s life...and how the child is actually very aware of that. Grogu doesn’t want their short time together to be cut even shorter. So Din stops treating Grogu’s fears and anger as something bad or dangerous. Instead he starts explaining Mandalorian’s love for family and their defiance of death. How death is never the end for them, how they’ll meet again one day in the Manda. And how he’ll stay with him always through the beskar they share.

I want Grogu learning to let go thanks to Mandalorian culture, he stays a lil gremlin who fiercely protects his father, but the dark side stays away.
