Gremlins director Joe Dante says that TheMandalorian's Grogu is a blatant copy of Gizmo. '...Baby Yoda, who is completely stolen and is just out-and-out copied. Shamelessly, I would think.'
Gremlins director Joe Dante suggests that Star Wars “shamelessly” copied Gizmo from Gremlins to create The Mandalorian’s Grogu aka Baby Yoda. Very loosely based on a book by beloved children’s author Roald Dahl, Gremlins is a horror-comedy written by Chris Columbus. It follows mischievous creatures that transform into destructive monsters who terrorize a town on Christmas Eve. The titular creatures owe their origins to the adorable Mogwai known as Gizmo, who is voiced by comedian Howie Mandel.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Meanwhile, The Mandalorian was the first live-action television series set in the Star Wars universe and follows a lone bounty hunter named Din Djarin who is hired to retrieve a mysterious child. While the show officially referred to the character as The Child throughout The Mandalorian season 1, the moniker of Baby Yoda quickly stuck due to him being a younger version of the same species as the great Jedi Master.
"I think the longevity of is really key to this one character , who is essentially like a baby. Which brings me, of course, to the subject of Baby Yoda, who is completely stolen and is just out-and-out copied. Shamelessly, I would think." While fans of The Mandalorian would be quick to leap to the show’s defence and point out that Grogu’s design is simply that of an infant version of Yoda’s unknown species, it does not take much to see the casual similarities between the Gremlins and Star Wars characters. Both share not only physical attributes, but also an endearing child-like innocence, which is fundamental to their respective portrayals.
Interestingly, Grogu is not the only one set to make his return to screens with The Mandalorian season 3 planned to hit Disney+ in February next year. Gizmo is also returning to endear audiences in the new Gremlins prequel animated show this year.
