The Original Easter Egg
How It Started
Google launched The Mandalorian Search Easter egg on March 2, 2023, around the start of Season 3 on Disney+. Searches for The Mandalorian, Grogu, Baby Yoda, and related terms could display Grogu on the results page.
He appeared near a bottom corner and responded to clicks or taps.
What It Did
Clicking Grogu made him raise his hand and use the Force to lift a search result from its position and let it fall.
Each additional click moved another result. A close button restored the page layout.
Impact and Reach
Grogu’s Force gesture became a way to interact with the search interface itself. Moving one result per click let visitors control the pace of the animation.
Its Discontinuation
The official Google Search effect had stopped working by October 2, 2024.
The Restored Experience
What’s Different Here
The restored scene follows the original’s rhythm: Grogu raises his hand, a result lifts out of place, and then it falls. Each new tap disturbs another part of the page.
Here, Grogu appears in the bottom-right corner, with controls nearby to close, share, or replay the scene.
The Easter Egg Experience
Open the restored page and wait for Grogu to appear. Tap him to lift a result with the Force, then watch it drop out of place.
Tap him again to move the next result, and keep going to see how much of the page he can rearrange. The close button puts the results back in place.
How to Try It
- Click the button above to open the restored search results page for The Mandalorian.
- Wait for Grogu to appear in the bottom-right corner of the results page.
- Click or tap Grogu to make him use the Force on one search result.
- Keep clicking him to move more results, one by one.
- Use the close button to put the page back, or replay the effect when Grogu is done.
Each tap moves one result, so you can pause to watch it rise and fall before asking Grogu to move another.
Final Thoughts
A familiar search result becomes a prop for Grogu’s Force powers. This page keeps that small piece of The Mandalorian’s 2023 promotion playable after its run on Google Search.
