On a planet far, far away lies a magical universe filled with modders who have worked tirelessly to give birth to beautiful creations that have brought joy to the lives of many. We will not talk about them today.
To celebrate that fact Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu is about as “nice” as a movie can be, follow me down a strange rabbit hole that leaves visitors either amazed or horrified. We talk about video game Grogu modsand not those that add him relatively seamlessly to games that Star Wars: Battlefront 2. No, these mods shine for the exact opposite reason: Grogu doesn't fit the game's world, and the game's world doesn't fit him. These creations also bring joy to the lives of many, although it may be a different kind of pleasure than usual.
I can't promise that the following images won't deeply scar you. Grogu can haunt your dreams, become the monster behind your night terrors, or the man in the dark during your sleep paralysis hallucinations. You have been warned.
Also, I am NOT criticizing these mods. I love the fact that they exist, and kudos to the modders who created them.

Grogu, Kung Fu Mecha Fighter (Sifu Mod)
OK, this one isn't too bad, and Grogu looks a little sick
Let's start with one Sifu mod it is, honestly, pretty cool. Despite being a relatively small game in the grand scheme of things, SloClap's Kung Fu epic has a really robust modding scene, which makes sense since the premise sells itself: Swap Sifus protagonist for a recognizable character. There are only over 1000 character mods, which is absurd. Many of the most popular are perfect: Batman, The matrixs Neo, Chun-Li (Street Fighter), Daredevil, Bruce Lee (of course), and Final Fantasy 7s Tifa (of course). Then there are more “hmm, I guess why not” mods like Makoto (Persona 5), Art the Clown (Scary), Snow White and Tintin.

Then we have our boy Grogu. To be clear, the creator, Arbek, did about as good a job as you can reasonably expect. Grogu's small stature is an inescapable challenge as he doesn't go right into it Sifu the main role, but turning the hovercar into basically a mini-mech is a stroke of genius. The models are also detailed, with both Grogu and the pram being fairly accurate to the source material. Yes, this Grogu courage is closer to charmed than cursed, though ultimately it's a novelty that most people will probably replace quickly.
You know what, maybe this isn't that traumatizing.

Grogu swallows a LEGO brick (LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga)
You know what, this is pretty traumatizing
Wow, okay, things have taken a turn.
Considering Grogu is officially in LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Sagathe fact that this mod manages to produce such a glorious monstrosity is a testament to the creator's dedication to the piece. If this mod de-aged Yoda's model and called it a day, the result wouldn't be memorable (though still cool).
Going this route led to something truly magical that could only exist in a special corner of the internet, and it will linger in viewers' minds long after they've moved past their initial “what the hell” reaction. This version of the legendary Star Wars the character looks mostly like Grogus's head mounted on the severed body of a (really muscular) brick, a choice that shouldn't work but does. This version of Grogu would carry Mando on his back.
You know what, it was shocking at first, but it gradually becomes funny when you get used to it. Honestly, these aren't that bad.
Ouch! God! My eyes! My eyes! (Remake of Final Fantasy 7)
I miss the… life I knew before this mod
Some things shouldn't be. Dayus99 created two mods that replace Barret and Marlene with Mando and Grogu. The former looks pretty good, to be honest, while the latter is a completely different kind of “good”. It's “good” in the way that creepypastas are good, like a visceral thrill that comes from witnessing something that shouldn't exist.
To be fair, I don't know if it's possible to add Grogu Final Fantasy 7 Remake without making him look like hell; even if it were possible, would it really be a better option than this? It might be easier on the eyes, but then we wouldn't be living in a reality where we could witness Marlene's voice and lines coming out of a version of Grogu that has been out in the sun too long.
