Grogu vs Jack-Jack: Why I Think Jack-Jack Wins This Fight

Grogu may be the more experienced fighter, but Jack-Jack's long list of powers could be too much for him to handle

Grogu versus Jack-Jack: who wins? Grogu might be the more experienced fighter here, which I know is a crazy thing to say about two babies. Even so, I still think Jack-Jack is going to be way too much for him to handle.

You could argue Grogu's Force powers might let him win early in the fight

Grogu is pretty powerful with the Force. We've seen him lift a massive mudhorn in the air, throw enemies around with telekinesis, block fire, and even protect Din Djarin and Bo-Katan from an enormous explosion.

So you could argue that if Grogu managed to grab Jack-Jack with the Force right at the beginning of the fight, he could potentially hold him in place and win.

Jack-Jack's roughly 17 superpowers are the problem for Grogu

Here's the problem. Jack-Jack has something like 17 different superpowers. This kid can shoot lasers out of his eyes, burst into flames, turn his body into metal, duplicate himself, teleport, phase through solid objects, and transform into a giant monster.

Imagine what happens when Grogu starts throwing him around with the Force. Jack-Jack might suddenly burst into flames, shoot lasers everywhere, or create a bunch of copies of himself. Grogu is going to have to deal with all of that while trying to maintain his concentration.

Grogu's strongest Force abilities tend to exhaust him

That's a big problem, because Grogu's strongest Force abilities tend to exhaust him. Remember, lifting that mudhorn knocked him unconscious.

Grogu has gotten stronger since then, but he still doesn't have unlimited stamina.

Jack-Jack's unpredictability decides it

I think it all comes down to Jack-Jack's unpredictability. With so many different powers, I think he's going to eventually find something that Grogu can't counter.

Maybe it's a laser blast. Maybe he teleports behind him. Maybe he turns into a giant flaming monster and overwhelms him. Either way, I think Jack-Jack has too many ways to win. Jack-Jack wins.
