Grogu Takes on Google in New Easter Egg Promoting ‘The Mandalorian’
Size matters not, even if you’re going up against the biggest search engine on the Internet. A new Easter egg on Google has Grogu, the breakout star of the Disney Plus Star Wars series The Mandalorian, using the Force to wreak havoc on the website.
Some Star Wars fans have been in for a surprise after typing in “The Mandalorian”, “Mandalorian”, “Baby Yoda”, or “Grogu” into Google’s search bar, as the company, in collaboration with Disney and Lucasfilm, has unleashed our little green friend onto the search results section. After a short moment, the 50-odd-year-old alien infant appears to look at the search results. When you click on the little fella, he will use the Force to grab elements of the page, such as the image gallery, video list, relevant questions to what you’re searching for, news articles, or general search results, yank them out of the site, and pile them up on the bottom of the page.
You can click on Grogu to command him to rip out chunks of the Internet for as long as you like, since the bottom of the page automatically loads a near-limitless amount of other pages for Grogu to rip out of the site, but you can also close out the little Easter egg to go back to what you were otherwise doing. It appears that this little Easter egg was added by programmers to promote the arrival of the third season of The Mandalorian, but it also delivers a clear message to anyone who comes across it by accident: the ability to search for anything on the Internet is insignificant compared to the power of the Force.
Star Wars: The Mandalorian Season 3 has begun its run Disney Plus, with new episodes airing on Wednesdays. Both of the previously released seasons of the show, alongside the spin-off Star Wars: The Book of Boba Fett, are available to watch exclusively on the streaming service.
