It'll be interesting to see how so many questions are answered - if at all.

We know someone took Grogu from the Temple but do we know who hired all those people to protect him in Season 1 where Mando found him to collect the bounty?
If it were an established underworld group, you'd think the bounty hunters (say, Fett) would have been aware of him by now. Remember, we're talking about back when Order 66 happened. That's a long time to sit on an asset. Wonder, was he carbonite-frozen awhile?
Also, who hired the ones to kill him? The Imperials wanted him alive, for research.
WAS IT the New Republic politicians, fearing that cloning tech could could make a Snoke-type guy? Is THAT what drives Luke off later?

That's a good point that I definitely hadn't thought of yet.
The bounty hunting droid was about to kill Grogu to collect whatever person had hired him so it wasn't the Imperial group that hired Mando as you mentioned.
That may be something that never gets answered and sometimes there are shows where I'm okay with that. I might be okay with leaving that a mystery that books and comics etc. can explore.
ETA: Someone mentioned that Gideon seemed to know plenty about Grogru for some time - knowing that using the Force made him tired for example. In season 1 he also said that Grogru meant more to him than Mando knew meaning he full well knew who Grogru was and what he was capable of doing.
I wonder if at some point after Order 66 the Empire got a hold of him, did some tests, somehow lost him, and then put a bounty out there to get him back.
Interestingly, if the Empire had at least an idea of where Grogu was (hence they were able to send Mando and other bounty hunters to the right planet) why not go get him themselves? Gideon clearly had the firepower to do it...but it seemed apparent that Gideon was determined to keep his tests a secret for as long as he could and only intervened when he felt he absolutely had to.
