Adorable Baby Yoda Is, Many Questions We Have

Warning: This story contains some spoilers for “The Mandalorian”. And if you did not understand the headline above, click here to learn how to talk like Yoda 🙂

Four episodes into “The Mandalorian”, the first ever live-action “Star Wars” series, one thing is clear: Baby Yoda is the breakout star.

Co-star Werner Herzog described him as “heartbreakingly beautiful”, while Gina Carano (Cara Dune) referred to him as “our precious”. And the Internet can’t get enough of him.

The fourth and most recent episode, “Sanctuary”, briefly makes it seem like there’s a possibility that Mando (Pedro Pascal) will part ways with Baby Yoda.

But to the collective relief of everyone watching the Disney+ series, the bounty hunter and adorable toddler are still travelling together.

Still, not much is known about the diminutive character, who on the show has only been referred to as “the child”.

He is 50 years old, some not-so-nice people are after him, he can use the Force and he may like eating space frogs (in the latest episode, he was also shown sipping some soup). He is nonverbal but very expressive.

The unnamed child has been dubbed “Baby Yoda” by the audience because he is clearly of the same officially “unknown” alien species as the legendary Jedi Master Yoda. The only other known canonical character of this mysterious species is Yaddle, who appeared as a member of the Jedi Council in “Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace.”

Below are some questions we still have about Baby Yoda. Fingers crossed that some will be answered during the remaining episodes of “The Mandalorian’s” first season.
