The Mandalorian: Baby Yoda's Real Name and Backstory Are Finally Revealed in Key Episode

-


Over the course of two seasons, The Child's backstory on The Mandalorian has remained well kept, save for a few details about his age, powers, and desired capture by Imperial forces. But during "Chapter 13: The Jedi," which premiered on Nov. 27, the series unloads a heap of crucial information about the foundling, including his name.

While we maintain that The Child will forever be known as Baby Yoda among viewers, we learn that his actual name is Grogu (cue the moniker discourse). We also gain a better understanding of where our favorite meme-able character came from, thanks to Ahsoka Tano (Rosario Dawson), who made her live-action debut. She explains that Baby Yoda - er, sorry, Grogu - used to live on Coruscant, where he was trained by several masters at the Jedi Temple. But when the Galactic Empire rose to power and seized the sacred sanctuary, Grogu was hidden and forced to keep his Force-fueled abilities a secret.

Ahsoka senses a darkness in Grogu and notes that he holds the same fear that made Anakin Skywalker turn to the dark side. She declines to take him in as her trainee, but she also believes that he and Mando (Pedro Pascal) share a deep connection. Ahsoka advises them to go to the planet Tython, where there's a Jedi Temple, and place Grogu on a seeing stone at the top of a mountain. That might help him reach other Jedi, though there aren't many left. But, of course, that might also attract the attention of their adversaries. It's a gamble, but considering everything else Mando and Grogu have been through, they're perpetual inhabitants of Planet Dangerous Uncertainty.

Even with all of this new information, we still don't know who hid Grogu during the Imperial era, nor do we know if his memory was wiped and how he ended up on the planet Arvala-7, where Mando first found him. Here's hoping that we continue to get more answers to piece this intergalactic puzzle together.

The Circle: Meet the Real "Emily" - aka Jack's Catfish Persona

-

A 20-year-old astrophysics and economics student from New Haven, CT, Jack Atkins made quite the first impression in The Circle season two premiere. He tells viewers straight off, "I'm honestly down to go down as the biggest villain in Circle history. I don't really care." I mean, an intro package doesn't get much better than that. Kudos, Jack! Or shall we say . . . Emily? In the first episode, we learn Jack is here to play a "very strategic, manipulative, cutthroat game." Being a college student, Jack says he's a self-declared nerd but with a wild, goofy side. Nervous his authentic personality (and BDE) might cost him the $100,000 prize, he enters The Circle group chat as Emily, a girly girl from the Windy City, who also happens to be a close friend of his IRL. Jack explains in his confessional that he wants fellow competitors to look at his profile and go "'That's a face I can trust.'" "When it comes to strategy ther...

What Selling Tampa Tells Us About Diversity in Real Estate and Selling Sunset

-

When it comes to reality TV on Netflix, Selling Sunset is prime real estate (pun intended). Season four dropped on Nov. 24 , and a brand-new spinoff, Selling Tampa , followed on Dec. 15. Unlike Selling Sunset , which follows the drama behind the elite real estate brokerage firm The Oppenheim Group , Selling Tampa spotlights a Florida-based, women-led, Black-owned business, Allure Realty. The show adds much-needed representation to Netflix's real estate reality TV lineup. But Selling Tampa 's creation compels us to take a hard look at Selling Sunset and the representation among its agents in an industry that lacks diversity. In its first season, the cast of Selling Sunset was all white. Agents like Amanza Smith (a mixed-race Black woman) and Vanessa Villela (who is Mexican) joined The Oppenheim Group in seasons two and four, respectively, but most of the nine women dishing the drama on screen on Selling Sunset remain white. Looking at the numbers, this isn't too far ...
