Joe Dante, the director of ‘Gremlins’, publicly accused the baby Yoda-Grogu in ‘The Mandalorian’ of allegedly copying the image of mogwai.
I think mogwai’s longevity is the key to the character, he’s essentially like a baby,” he said. Of course, this reminds me of Baby Yoda, a character that was completely stolen from mogwai and is an unabashed copy, which I think is shameless”.
Yoda baby Grogu, a character from the ‘Star Wars’ series, appeared in the American series ‘The Mandalorian’, Grogu is of the same race as Yoda, and although he is still a toddler, he was born with a powerful Force.
‘Gremlins’, a thriller directed by Joe Dante and starring Zach Galligan, Hoyt Axton and Frances Lee McCain, was released in the United States on June 8, 1984.
The film tells the story of Randall Peltzer, an inventor who wants to buy a mogwai in an antique store to give his son Billy Peltzer as a Christmas gift, but ends up in disaster for violating the rules of breeding.
