Hey everybody and welcome to Leia’s Lair.
With the first season of the Mandalorian halfway
finished, there have been many things left
unanswered about our new, favorite character
baby yoda.
With that being said, we wanted to go over
all the things we know so far about the character.
One thing that we know for sure is that he
is a member of the same species as Yoda.
While the Yoda species itself is shrouded
in mystery, we do know that members of this
species can live for centuries, that there
are both male and female members of the species,
they are small in stature, have three-fingered
hands, and appear to be highly attuned to
the Force.
So far, the three characters that we have
met of this species, Yoda, Yaddle, and Baby
Yoda have all been force sensitive.
Baby Yoda is 50 years old.
Due to the long lifespan of his species, he
appears to still be in infancy regardless
of the fact that he is 50.
Thus far the character has not been given
an official name.
While the internet as adorably adorned him
baby yoda, he has also been referred to as
“the child” and “the kid” throughout
the series.
Baby Yoda is a male.
This is confirmed in both episode 3 when Dr.
Pershing refers to the child as a “him”
and again in episode 4, when Omera refers
to the child as Mando’s boy.
Baby Yoda appears to have a very gentle and
kind temperament.
While this could come from the fact that he
is a child, we have seen him try to be helpful
whenever possible.
For example in Episode 2 when he first tries
to help Mando with his cut, and then again
when he saves him from the Mud Horn.
That being said, Baby Yoda is also quite mischievous.
He is seen numerous times purposely disobeying
the commands of Mando.
Where did he come from?
One thing we know for sure is that, regardless
of his name Baby Yoda, he is definitely not
the baby version of the actual Yoda.
The Mandalorian takes place after the events
of Episode 6, where we see actual Yoda become
one with the Force at the age of 900.
That being said, it has been theorized that
this Baby Yoda could potentially be the offspring
of Yoda and the only other member of the species
we have seen, Yaddle.
Yaddle is seen sitting on the Jedi Counsel
in Episode 1, but then mysteriously disappears
afterwards.
According to the timeline, this coincides
with the time that Baby Yoda would have been
born.
Another theory is that this Baby Yoda is a
clone of actual Yoda.
We know that cloning technology exists in
the Star Wars Galaxy, so it would not be so
farfetched for one of the greatest Jedi ever
to have been cloned at some point.
Finally, Baby Yoda could just be a new character
altogether, with no relation to Yoda or Yaddle
other than being of the same species.
Regardless of his origins, we know that he
is of great importance in some way or another,
otherwise there wouldn’t be so many bounties
placed on his head.
And there you have it!
Thanks for watching everyone!
