Baby Yoda is the surprise breakout star of Disney Plus’ Star Wars spin-off series The Mandalorian.
The Internet is smitten with the cute pointy-eared alien infant and fans have been having fun generating hundreds of memes in gushing celebration of the adorable character who has upstaged Pedro Pascal’s armored character, The Mandalorian, who is officially the star of the series.
The infant is known as The Child in The Mandalorian series, but fans nicknamed him Baby Yoda due to his resemblance to the Jedi Master from the Star Wars franchise.
The resemblance suggests that he is of the same species as Yoda. However, we can safely rule out suggestions that The Child is the Jedi Master Yoda as an infant because The Mandalorian series is set about five years after the events of Return of the Jedi in which Yoda transitioned to become “one with the Force,” after 900 years of life.
Although Baby Yoda is 50 years old, we learn from The Mandalorian that he is still an infant because “species age differently.”

Baby Yoda’s appearance in the closing scenes of the first episode of The Mandalorian series was a surprise revelation. Director Jon Favreau told Entertainment Tonight that he was able to convince Disney and Lucasfilm to keep the character a secret and not launch Baby Yoda merch until after The Mandalorian launched on Disney+.
Fans are looking forward to learning more about Baby Yoda as the series progresses. Meanwhile, here are some Baby Yoda memes you’ll love that fans are sharing on social media.

And while Baby Yoda has been compared to Gizmo from Gremlins, some think he’s even cuter.
