Headcanon: Grogu was too small for a lightsaber of his own yet, but the reason he recognized the darksaber (as a lightsaber) and reached for it like he knew how to use one, is because that little gremlin would constantly sneak around the Jedi Temple and steal any lightsaber that wasn’t nailed down. Literally every week, this happened somewhere in the Temple: Grogu: [cooing and toddling by after sneaking out from behind some potted plants] Jedi Master: Grogu, what do you have there? Grogu: [giggles and toddles with Force Speed, lightsaber now lit in his hand] Jedi Master: NO! EVERY. SINGLE. WEEK.
At least four separate people in the notes/tags of this post: And 90% of the time it was Anakin’s lightsaber that he stole, because you can hear him screaming in frustration in the distance while Obi-Wan deliberately lectures him about losing his lightsaber yet again because he’s an asshole who knows exactly what happened and he thinks it’s a good lesson and also kind of hilarious. You’re all right and you should say it.
