Sigourney Weaver Cheekily Breaks Down What It’s Like to Hang with A Group of Grogus on The Mandalorian & Grogu

If you ever wondered what it looks like when Alien royalty meets the galaxy’s cutest little green Force-sensitive, Sigourney Weaver has given us the delightfully nerdy behind-the-scenes scoop. And it’s just as charming as Grogu himself.

In a recent interview, the legendary actress—who’s joining the cast of The Mandalorian & Grogu—let slip a wonderfully specific detail: that filming with Grogu actually meant spending time with a whole group of them. Yep, not just one. A group. And according to Weaver, they each brought something special to the set.

“There’s the Grogu that walks sometimes, and the Grogu that does weird faces, and then there’s another Grogu that does that, whatever it is — the Force?” Weaver laughed, recalling the mechanics behind bringing the beloved character to life.

A Multi-Grogu Ensemble (Seriously)

Here’s the fun part: Grogu isn’t just one puppet or CGI creation. On set, multiple performers and puppeteers work together to make him feel alive. Weaver describes it like being surrounded by a “little clump” of Grogu operators—each adding subtle movement and expression.

It’s kind of perfect, right? Imagine being in the middle of a bunch of Grogu handlers, all tuned into the same adorable beam of cuteness. That’s sci-fi movie magic—with a whole lot of heart.

Weaver Was All In

Weaver was genuinely thrilled by the experience. She said it was fascinating to see how the group effort translated into one seamless on-screen Grogu, especially when the little guy would pop off into some goofy expression or use the Force—or whatever adorable thing he was doing.

And honestly, we get it.

This is the kind of detail that makes Star Wars fandom so fun: the combination of high-tech puppetry, meticulously coordinated performance, and that undeniable charm that only Grogu can deliver.

Why It Matters

The Mandalorian & Grogu isn’t just another entry in the Star Wars saga. It’s shaping up to be a celebration of everything fans love about Din Djarin and Grogu’s relationship—and that includes the delightful chaos that comes with bringing a tiny Force baby to life in the real world.

So next time someone talks about how Grogu “comes alive,” remember: it’s not just one puppet. It’s a whole ensemble of cuteness, coordinated chaos, and expert puppeteering—and Sigourney Weaver got to hang right in the middle of it.
