In the aftermath of the premiere, fans took to Twitter to gush about Grogu and his new "friends" — with a caveat. Because the Anzellans look so much like "The Rise of Skywalker" breakout Babu Frik, most people on Twitter referred to him rather than the Anzellans as a whole.
Twitter user @thebeepthemeep wrote, "they said that the sequels are going to get retconned. and now we have grogu and babu frik hugging each other. this is my multiverse of madness!" followed by a laugh-cry emoji, while user @THESCARLETRED1 kept it simple with "Grogu snatched him." @YourAnonTruth1 had praise for the overall episode, saying, "That episode of the Mandalorian was amazing! We got mando being a father to Grogu! Mandalore and grogu squeezing Babu!"
The sentiment across the Twitterverse was basically the same: Grogu hugging a Babu Frik-looking little guy was awesome. Here's hope we get more adorable interactions between Grogu and the Ansellans throughout the third season of "The Mandalorian."
