I recently obtained some LEGO kits for various Star Wars projects... Ha! I wanted to build the Anzellan's ship from the new movie and Grogu helped! You can take a look at the whole build here: archiveofourown.org/works/85141026
Let me know if you have any questions!

In case you missed it (a couple of years ago) Grogu helped me build Din Djarin's Helmet out of LEGO. It was fun and easy. Which reminds me, Grogu and I wrote a story about Luke's Jedi Sleep Away Camp. You can find it here: archiveofourown.org/works/455283...

Now that Grogu has your attention, may he direct you to checking out one of his favorite stories? Yes, it's about him. He wrote it. He should know. Find it here: archiveofourown.org/works/472645...
Grogu, Bounty Hunter in Training. Cheers!

I've been writing tiny and not so tiny stories about Grogu, The Mandalorian, and that Galaxy far, far away for four years. I'm going to post links to the stories that people seemed to like the most.

First: How Grogu and Din Djarin Tamed the Wild Mythosaur. archiveofourown.org/works/490345...
A Grogu doll is wearing a white shirt that an image of Grogu peeking over The Mandalorian's Helmet with a caption in black lettering reading The Dadalorian. The figure is also wearing tan pants. In front of that figure is a LEGO kit (soft paper pouch) depicting a miniature Razor Crest in grey and yellow LEGO bricks. Also in front of the figure is a LEGO beskar card depicting The Mandalorian with Grogu perched on his back, looking over his left shoulder. Other LEGO kits can be seen in the background, including one to build the Dark Saber, and another to build Luke's speeder.

I saw your post and tried to send you a note. Unless you deleted it, Bluesky is doing more of the same.
Love you and wishing you all the best.

Ta Da! Yippee! Hurrah! It’s done, it’s done, it’s done! We did it! Grogu and the team built the New Republic Razor Crest! It’s a great ship. Fast. Sleek. With lots of POWER! Hat’s off to LEGO for the redesign. It was a fun build. Grogu hopes you’ve enjoyed helping him build the ship. Cheers!
Grogu is wearing a Christmas themed suit with a white shirt and red tie. On the table top next to him the completed ship can be seen in front of the LEGO Box. Both engines are now in place. A figure of Din Djarin without a helmet is also on the table top, looking at the camera. The table top is covered in light blue batiked fabric. The mini-figs of Grogu, Mando, Zeb, and the Colonel, are positioned on the top of the ship. The Stormtrooper has fallen back to take up a defensive position.

Yes, the pieces are organized. The Mandalorian insisted. Because he insisted Grogu insisted that Din Djarin be referred to as ‘The Mandalorian’ for the rest of the build. Not Mando. Not Dad. Not ‘You There’. Nope. The Mandalorian. Uff. It’s annoying when the two of them fight. Zeb just laughed.
Grogu is wearing a Christmas themed suit with a white shirt and red tie. On the table top next to him the ship can be seen in front of the LEGO Box.

The LAST BAG! BAG 8! It’s almost over! The work is paying off! The time is slipping by and soon, soon, the fun will be complete. Oh, uh, Grogu means the ship will be complete. Yes, the ship! Three cheers for the Razor Crest! What? It’s not done yet? We can cheer when it happens? Be right back.

Uh oh. How did that happen? Grogu didn’t do it. He knows that his dad doesn’t like to see the parts in a big, messy, not organized pile, even if the parts are large, easy to identify, hard to get mixed up with each other (you know what Grogu means). Hmmm. Maybe the dog did it? Somehow...

You can learn a lot looking at a clear plastic bag, particularly if it’s marked with a ‘7’. It stands for ‘Almost Done!’. Yippee. Oh, you can also see some tell tale pieces of the engines. It’s about time. This ship needs some power! More power! Where's the Sith that said that? Go find them!

Yippee! It looks like a ship! A ship that can contain an atmosphere and keep them warm and not allow spiders of any size to crawl around in it! Thanks to Zeb! He’s the best. He knew exactly where every part was supposed to go and did all the heavy lifting. Anyway, the ship is looking great, right?
Grogu is wearing a Christmas themed suit with a white shirt and red tie. On the table top next to him. The ship’s fuselage is right next to Grogu and it’s front and canopy have been added.

Zeb! Zeb Orrelious! Where have you been?! Hasn't Ezra been missing you? Wow. Plus, look! The ship has a canopy! We'll be able to fly it soon! Ok, ok, right now it's all still parts and someone has to build it, but Zeb should be able to give us a hand. Or maybe @emanesfandi could stop by and help.

Here it is. Bag 6. Six bags. Not done yet. Still more to go. Wow. So many parts, pieces, bricks. Good thing Grogu doesn't have to build the actual full-sized ready to use Razor Crest. Makes him wonder how his dad ever got them off that ice ball planet Maldo Kreis. That poor ship needed so much work

Hmmm. No wonder the Mandalorian was so fussy about bag 5. It was the forward mounted weapons. Got to be careful with those Grogu! Uff. Well, he was careful and it’s built and they look… like forward mounted weapons. Where are the engines? Where are the wings? Where is Zeb?

Mando said that the layout was ‘acceptable’. I gather that’s pretty high praise as far as Mandalorians go, but Grogu was a bit disappointed. He told his dad that he can layout the next bag and see just how easy it is to do when you can’t use the Force and you put down one piece you step on another!

Look! It’s Bag 5! That’s so exciting! Grogu can barely contain himself! So many things can happen with this bag. So many adventures can start based on what he finds in there. So many pieces… to lay out all neat and tidy because his dad said no more tossing them on the table. Well that’s the Way.

Wow! Bag for 4 did not disappoint! We have something to stand on! We can see where engines will go! The bridge is so... not filled with flash frozen froglets or even bone broth. Dank farrik! But it's getting to the point where Grogu can stash those things in the cargo bay! Yippee!

Hmmm, is Grogu just tired of keeping track of this build? I was certain there was a photo of him standing near bag 4 with a bunch of LEGO bricks in it. Anyway, here they are. All laid out. Nice and neat. I think both Din Djarin’s had some words with him about that. Sigh. This is the way.

Good thing Grogu already had Lil' Din Djarin there to help him with that mess of pieces. They turned it into... something? I guess we have to wait and see... Notice how cute Grogu is with his rondel! This is the Way!
#MayThe4thBeWithYou #STARWARSDAY
The image depicts a LEGO mini-figure of The Mandalorian, Din Djarin, standing in front of the partially constructed Republic Razor Crest. The LEGO mini-fig of Grogu with new details (the beskar rondel on the center of his jumpsuit) is standing on the partially constructed deck. In the background you can see the other section of the ship. A stormtrooper mini-fig seems to be hiding from them while they sit on the other section.

Bag 3… Umm, Grogu can explain. Sometimes you’re just so excited to see the parts, you use the Force to help open the bag. Anyway, not that it matters, but here are the parts and they are fine, just fine. His dad said something about never getting him another building kit if he wasn’t more careful…

Wow! Bag two did not disappoint! The ship is getting bigger and lil’ Grogu can’t wait to be its pilot. No, Din Djarin, that is not up for debate. Grogu will learn how to push all the buttons in the proper sequence. The Force has spoken! Oh, and Grogu will be fine; he’s wearing his armor!
