It could be that it's like different breeds of canine or feline depending how they physically and mentally adapted evolved in their part of the world.

Spoiler!

I think that would be out of character considering that Yoda and Yaddle were very small in stature, which would lead to a lot of unnecessary questions about the species. It's already a bit confusing to me that Grogu spent decades learning from Jedi Masters, yet he has the maturity of an 18 month old. That seemed like a strange road to travel. And knowing that he spent decades in the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, why can't he speak Basic?

One aspect of this episode didn't necessarily confirm my earlier speculation but it didn't exactly negate it either, is the idea that Thrawn is behind the abduction of Grogu because he wants to create a Dark Force User in order to fulfill the role of the Emperor and take over the galaxy.

Maybe they ultimately go down the path of Jorus C'Baoth or maybe they use a different Jedi but I would be over the moon if ultimately, the Heir to the Empire series is repurposed in some form.

Filoni made some changes to Thrawn's backstory in Rebels and the latest Thrawn books by Timothy Zahn but the "bones" of the story certainly still exist and wouldn't upset or change the sequels (although I'd prefer they're wiped out completely but I don't know how realistic that is at this point in time).

But if that is where they're heading, they're going to have tens of millions of very happy Star Wars fans.
