Andor hasn't been my favorite, Star Wars is still about Jedi and Sith to me even after all these years.
That was my speculation, that Grogu would be a central character for future franchise moves because of the longevity of his species but also to piggyback off Yoda's popularity.
However they should be careful because I think one of the selling points about Yoda is we don't really know anything about their species so it makes them even more interesting. If they kill the mysticism behind Yoda's species, it would be a blow to the franchise.
Then again, it may only be "die-hard" fans that are let down....if there's even such a thing anymore. Star Wars culture is probably more relaxed now since people who grew up with it are older and kids nowadays probably don't feel like they have much to do with the direction it goes in. It's their parents or grandparents that are really invested in the direction of Star Wars.
